Overview
![Page 4: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II. Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021903/5ba0699b09d3f2857a8ce858/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Project Location Located along Caltrain line in San Jose: • San Jose Diridon Station
to Caltrain Centralized Equipment Maintenance and Operations Facility (CEMOF)
• Taylor St. to Emory St. (north of CEMOF)
• Primarily within existing right-of-way
![Page 5: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II. Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021903/5ba0699b09d3f2857a8ce858/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Purpose and Need • Maintain operational flexibility and minimize delays by
allowing out-of-service trains to move to and from CEMOF without conflicting with in-service (e.g., trains carrying passengers).
• Address operational bottleneck. • Improve the ability of Caltrain service to respond to
unanticipated events, such as delayed trains, weather, or mechanical issues.

Project Elements • New fourth track on east side of existing tracks (approx. 2,000
feet in length) from Diridon Station to CEMOF plus several thousand feet of existing track replaced with new track
• Realign existing tracks to accommodate new track • 9 cross-overs/ 6 turnouts/ 3 slip-switches • New signal controls

Environmental Review Process • National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
• Federal Transit Administration is the lead agency • California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
• Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board / Caltrain Lead Agency
• Includes analysis of existing conditions and potential impacts (short-term and long-term) and strategies to address the impacts
![Page 13: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II. Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021903/5ba0699b09d3f2857a8ce858/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Environmental Setting • The project area is entirely
urbanized, consisting of an active railroad corridor surrounded by lands that are currently developed at a high density with industrial and commercial uses.
• There are no waterbodies, wetlands or sensitive habitats present within the project limits.
![Page 14: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II. Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021903/5ba0699b09d3f2857a8ce858/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Right-of-Way Requirements • Right-of-way acquisition includes 84 SAP Center
parking spaces. Mitigate by restriping parking lot to prevent any net loss of parking spaces.
![Page 15: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II. Project](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022021903/5ba0699b09d3f2857a8ce858/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Potential Impacts and Mitigation • Project will acquire land from known contaminated site
- SAP Center. • Coordination with California Department of Toxic
Substances Control regarding construction within parking lot.
• Caltrain to implement Site-specific Soil Management Plan and Health and Safety Plan to protect workers and public.
![Page 16: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II.

Potential Impacts and Mitigation • Temporary construction noise
• Minimal impact due to industrial/commercial land uses adjacent to tracks
• Implement community outreach program • Cultural resources
• No adverse effect on Diridon Station Historic District. • Archaeological monitoring during excavation due to
sensitivity for historic-era archaeological resources. • Project area not sensitive for Native American resources;
however outreach will be conducted as part of Section 106

Project Construction
![Page 18: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II.

Construction Schedule • Two year construction project starting in fall 2018 • Staging designed to avoid impact to existing operations • Majority of work necessary during the evening, at night
or on weekends to avoid disruption of train operations. • JPB will notify community well in advance of any night
time activities.

Project Benefits
![Page 20: South Terminal Phase II Project - caltrain.comAffairs/Government+Affairs/pdf/... · South Terminal Phase II Project Community Meeting April 21, 2016 . Agenda I. Overview II.

Project Benefits • Increase operational flexibility = less train delays and
improved service reliability • Eliminate conflicts between in-service and out-of-
service trains destined to/from CEMOF
• Address operational bottleneck north of Diridon that will be worsened in the future by increases in train service by Caltrain Electrification, ACE, UPRR etc.
