| | | NPSG13-110 | | Intercity Passenger Rail in America: Creating Regional Centers Speakers: Wayne Aldrich, Development Director, Town of Normal, IL; Brian Harner, Architect, Union Station Redevelopment Corporation; Wilma Quan, Urban Planning Specialist, City of Fresno, CA As the nation considers building new high-speed rail connections and strengthening existing intercity passenger rail networks, communities large and small are thinking about leveraging rail assets in new ways. Many metropolitan areas have plans to revitalize historic stations into multimodal and economic centers, while smaller communities reassess how to leverage intercity rail stations into a regional economic development strategy. This session will address such questions as: How can stations catalyze TOD-like development patterns and help curb sprawl? How can high-speed rail stations become regional growth centers? How can good station area planning concentrate jobs and growth? Speakers offer case studies from a metropolitan area focusing on economic development and multimodal connectivity at Washington, DC, Union Station; planning for a new High Speed Rail station in Fresno, CA, to refocus economic growth and jobs downtown; and revitalization of a small-town Main Street centered on rehabilitation of an historic train depot.
