The Arcadis-Benthem Crouwel partnership is set to transform Diridon Station, which serves as a major transportation hub in downtown San Jose, US.
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), City of San Jose, Caltrain and the California High-Speed Rail Authority will also be involved.
The first phase of the partnership will create the San Jose Diridon Station Integrated Station Concept Plan. It is expected to take 18 months at a cost of $6.4m and will involve the design of an integrated multimodal facility for improved transfer between all modes of transport.
The project will see the planning of a station that will be capable of accommodating capacity needs going forward.
