It will be multimodal with bike and pedestrian accommodations. We’ll coordinate with Pace for pickups and drop-offs from the train. There’ll be a kiss-and-ride lot.”
Before construction can start, Carrier said the next two years will be spent doing the detailed engineering necessary, acquiring any needed land and coordinating with all involved government agencies.
