Hercules Intermodal Transit Center

Hercules Intermodal Transit Center

The City of Hercules, in cooperation with the Federal Transit Administration, has prepared a joint EIR/EIS for the construction of a proposed intermodal transit center project which includes a new passenger train station (on the existing Capitol Corridor line), a bus terminal, and parking facilities. Specific project improvements include: 1) realignment of a portion of the existing Union Pacific railroad tracks, construction of a rail platform and retaining walls, and the replacement of a railroad bridge crossing Refugio Creek; 2) construction of a train station building with grade separated pedestrian access; 3) extension of John Muir parkway, including the construction of Bayfront Boulevard over Refugio Creek, Transit Loop Drive, and a surface parking lot; 4) realignment and restoration of approximately 1,000 feet of Refugio Creek from San Pablo Bay to the existing restored upper segment and including the North Channel; 5) construction of segments of the East Bay Park Regional District's Bay Trail, a paved recreational trail, along the shoreline from Pinole trail to Victoria by the Bay; 6) a pedestrian walkway over the railroad tracks to provide a connection to the proposed Hercules Point open space; and 7) relocation of existing utility and gas lines and a storm drainage outfall to Refugio Creek.
