Santa Clara Caltrain
this is a good-looking, sizable project across the street from the Santa Clara Caltrain station (strangely not mentioned in the article), and future BART (which is). counter-productive amount of parking for that location, but from the article, it seems that that is the law there. :rolleyes:

This looks like a great development. I attended law school for a brief semester at Santa Clara University about two decades ago and have fond memories of getting lunch at Neto’s Sausage and playing pool at the Hut.

Caltrain
last weekend I was facing out a sort of dirty window on the NE side of a Caltrain.
in South San Francisco, work has resumed on the reconfiguration of the station part of the new platform and associated work on the new access from the east side https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...535baf1c_b.jpg I think this is the new pedestrian underpass visible below the tracks https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b7815dbb_b.jpg and the ramp to the platform https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...c2246d4e_b.jpg the project at Millbrae BART/Caltrain is underway https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...bcab04b8_b.jpg BART tailtracks in the foreground https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8fb2496a_b.jpg just south of Burlingame station is this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3873aace_b.jpg just south of San Mateo station is this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b5abe240_b.jpg around Hillsdale/Bay Meadows, after moving the Caltrain tracks onto the elevated structure and opening the new Hillsdale station, they have begun lowering 25th Ave slightly to give a little more headroom under the tracks. they waited to start this until the underpass for 28th Ave had been completed, so there was always one open path across the rail line. 25th Ave is the one that used to cross the tracks at grade. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...8fb53d8d_b.jpg what I think is the last (and northernmost) office building has started construction https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ceedee6e_b.jpg it is adjacent to newly-opened 28th Ave, mentioned earlier https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...a2f3fca3_b.jpg 31st Ave is also being constructed to pass under the tracks, roughly where the old station had been. this was the best shot of that I got https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...f326c618_b.jpg and what used to be the station parking lot is also being developed (former station location in foreground) https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...6aed1a60_b.jpg |
Caltrain 2
yesterday I was facing out not as dirty a window on the SW side of a Caltrain.
moving south to north... as you leave Lawrence station, a large area that had been a building materials business has been cleared, waiting for development https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d7bfebe0_b.jpg approaching Menlo Park you pass a massive project whose length could seemingly be measured in football fields https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7fb288a1_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0b5bbdea_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...ed0f0029_b.jpg at Menlo Park station itself, a new mid-size building has gone up https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...bc2f02fd_b.jpg and on the station's north side is another sizable project https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...75eee83e_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2442feb4_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...0cd04ac9_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...05b81196_b.jpg little Belmont has something going https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...7a24aa7d_b.jpg here is a better shot of the 31st Ave extension under the Caltrain tracks at Hillsdale https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d9b72844_b.jpg and already-completed 28th Ave... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...d08d7297_b.jpg and 25th Ave getting lowered https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...70543dfa_b.jpg at Burlingame station, a former auto dealership will become something more productive for its location https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2564ef77_b.jpg in South San Francisco, I didn't realize they were going to clear the area between the tracks and Airport Blvd (aha, for this). now the housing project that went up at one end (on the left here) makes more sense, as it will potentially be more connected and accessible from this side https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...2341afa6_b.jpg a look at the pedestrian underpass to the new SSF station https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...e2392d9c_b.jpg |
Lookin good

forgot one from the Caltrain trip: in Redwood City, this one is going up a couple blocks south of the station, on the west side

even more significant in my view, if they can pull it off, is the redevelopment of Sequoia Station, re-envisioning a standard stripmall-type set-up with mostly surface parking into something far more walkable and connected, adjacent to the train station itself. it is this type of makeover that is needed probably dozens of times over across the Bay Area |

this one also looks really good - I happened to be looking at this one coincidentally over the weekend. Broadway, where this project is located, serves as 'main street' of downtown (not to be confused with Main St itself, which is no slouch, but not quite as prominent). and I love the little pedestrian passage idea right next to courthouse square, which really is a community gathering space, especially on summer weekends |
That massive Menlo Park one must be Springline. I've literally never heard of it until today, so it's a coincidence that I ran across it here!

the one on the south side (the football fields one) I think must be this |
