Transit Station Expansion Project

Document Description: The proposed project would be constructed in two phases. Phase 1 would be developed by the City of Grover Beach which is proposing to expand the existing Amtrak train station to incorporate bus passenger loading/unloading areas and provide pedestrian and bicycle connections, creating a multi-modal transit center. The project does not include new bus or transit trips. The project would be carried out in two phases (refer to Figure 3). Phase 1 of the project would occur on approximately 1.3 acres of land in the northern portion of the site. Phase 1 would include the construction of an approximately 400 sq. ft. bus shelter and loading/unloading zone with platform access, additional parking (approximately 40 spaces), roundabout entry statement, and drought-tolerant landscaping. In addition, a pedestrian/bicycle path would be constructed that would connect to the existing 232-sapce Coastal Dunes RV Park to the intersection of Hwy 1 and West Grand Avenue Phase 2 of the project would be developed by San Luis Obispo County Parks and Recreation Department. The proposed project would provide an additional vehicle entrance to the Coastal Dunes Recreational Vehicle (RV) Park that is operated by San Luis Obispo County. Additional improvements would include a one-way driveway and a 400 sq. ft. entry kiosk and office. A future RV Park expansion area / campground could also be developed adjacent to the entry driveway.
