1) Financing for Real Estate Development Along Rail
Historically transportation funds have been devoted exclusively for infrastructure and operations. However, more recently some transit agencies are getting in the business of financing both private development and public-private projects. At this workshop you will hear how three different cities are utilizing innovative ways to fund mixed-use development near rail.
Moderator: Dena Belzer, President, Strategic Economics
Megan Gibb, Transit Oriented Development Program Manager, Portland Metro
Doug Johnson, Bay Area Metropolitan Transportation Commission

2) Beyond the Station Area: Planning for High Speed Rail Districts
At this workshop, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (SPUR) will unveil their white paper on the planning and regulatory framework for successful high-speed rail districts, including the need for minimum densities, transferable development rights and joint development. A response panel will discuss the role of the public and private sector in ensuring implementation of TOD within the proposed framework.
Moderator: Maureen McAvey
Egon Terplan, San Francisco Planning and Urban Research “
Paul Sedway, Principal, Sedway Consulting

3) TOD Placemaking: Well-Designed TOD’s and Future Guidelines
Highlights of the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s Urban Design Guidelines will be presented. This workshop discusses design approaches towards station and land use development interconnecting neighboring land uses that reduce the vehicle oriented atmosphere of a transit station. This panel of experts will provide exemplary examples of existing Transit Oriented Development sites, what worked and what may not, applicable towards high speed rail centers at various scales.
Moderator: Gideon Berger, Director, ULI Rose Center for Public Leaders in Land Use
GB Arrington, Parsons Brinckerhoff
Frank Fuller, Field Paoli (San Jose/ARTIC Station)

4) Community Outreach: Gaining Public Support for Station-Area Development
A public infrastructure project of this magnitude requires skillful communication and a well thought out education strategy for the communities surrounding high speed rail stops. How will high speed rail impact quality of life issues? What are the community benefits? Can the community engage in the design process? Will property values be impacted? Come learn from the experts on effective land use community outreach strategies. This workshop will be advantageous to city planning professionals and real estate developers.
Moderator: Rachel MacCleery, Managing Director, ULI Infrastructure Initiative
Marilee Utter, President, Citiventure
Sandra Kulli, Kulli Marketing

5) Station Location: Addressing the Challenges
Developing intermodal centers are met by multiple challenges. Our experts will present options towards resolving specific types of constraints attributed to geography, land use, site constraints, and the need to provide seamless pedestrian and transit movement for two specific projects: ARTIC in Anaheim and the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco. Learn from experts experienced in the planning and development of the two intermodal centers.
