DESCRIPTION
Beth Vogelsang's presentation from October 4th, 2013 at the Colorado APA Conference in Vail regarding high speed rail and its interface with stations and land uses.
Citation preview
1
Stations: Balancing HSR and Community
Fewer stations means retaining higher speeds; better travel times; stronger ridership
Accommodate regional travel Interface with local transit/transportation
HSR Station Parameters
2
9 Stations from Fort Collins to Pueblo including the Denver Metro area:
Fort Collins North Suburban DIA/Union Station South Suburban West Suburban Monument Colorado Springs (2) Pueblo
Front Range Stations
3
Mountain Stations -6 Stations: Idaho Springs, Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Vail, Beaver Creek, Eagle County Airport
4
15 system stations
15 acres of new development per station; Developable square footage 9 million Potential value over $2 billion Likely funding element of implementation
Benefits?

Development and Structured Parking options
1. Optimize Location for access/ridership2. Minimize Sprawl – Promote Infill
◦ Limit demand on resources◦ Leverage current investments
3. Maximize Connectivity ◦ Increase bicycle, pedestrian, transit◦ Consider first mile/last mile connections◦ Minimize parking footprint

Community Considerations
Anticipated level of ridership activity at station and operability needs
Origin or Destination? Collector or Distributor station
Role of parking vs. transit at the station
Potential for development surrounding site
Station acreage varies and depends on:

Urban Design and Context
38
Are cities willing to implement policies, station area plans and eventual rezoning to achieve
higher density residential and commercial development? Light freight?
Historic relevance
Community character
Compatible with surrounding land use? Compatible with regional plans?
Thank you
