    focus FACULTY AND STUDENT WORK THE RAILROADS AND SAN LUIS OBISPO’S URBAN FORM HEMALATA DANDEKAR AND ADRIANNA JORDAN The Pacific Coast narrow gauge and Southern Pacific standard gauge railroads affected the economy of San Luis Obispo and shaped city growth and morphology. This essay traces this imprint, celebrates the historic role of the railroads on the city and region, and, speculates on the future potential of fixed rail transportation for economy development. Hemalata C. Dandekar, PhD. is professor and head of Cal Today the sound of a train passing through San Luis Obispo may be intermittent and faint, but persistent Poly’s CRP Department. nonetheless, a reminder that the railroad was a significant force in the development of the City of San Luis Obispo. The railroad’s continued presence in the city, cutting through its urban fabric, raises intriguing questions as to what constructive role it can play in the evolving economy of the city.

These questions are worth considering beyond nostalgia for a railroad-dominated past as we become more concerned, nationally and especially so in the State of California, about living sustainably. The aspiration to create communities that reduce dependence and expenditure on the automobile has surfaced as an important goal, one that might enable us to live within our resource base. In this emerging context what role will, and might, the railroad play in shaping future developments and influencing land use? The historical role of railroads in the growth of the City of San Luis Obispo was substantial.
