Corona Metrolink Station

The North Main Corona Metrolink Station is located just over a half-mile north of Corona's Downtown District. To revitalize this area, the City recently revised its General Plan (2004) and now envisions the station area with expanded commercial and residential with a transit-oriented focus. Compass Blueprint, Western Riverside Organization of Governments and the City of Corona are working together to plan this new area of downtown. This Demonstration Project is intended to guide the transition from a stand-alone train station and parking garage to a vibrant transit village.

Goals:

• Transform an existing transit center into a transit focused mixed use hub
• Connect rail service with regional buses
• Coordinate developers with transit planning process
• Gather input from the community

Services Included in the Study:

• Land use opportunities and constraints analysis
• Circulation analysis
• Contextual urban design strategies
• Evaluation of joint development opportunities
• Proposed design vision illustrating the opportunities for TOD development
• Extensive transit recommendations to better integrate commuter rail service with local and regional bus service
