The train station will line the tracks between Hood Terrace and Railroad Avenue near Sawmill Road and Interstate 95’s Exit 42. It will include a surface parking lot with 660 spots and two platforms with a pedestrian overpass, along with retail and condominium opportunities a half-mile from downtown.  Plans call for a 3,000-square-foot station building with a waiting room, restrooms and a newsstand.  To coincide with the project and the renaissance of the central business district, the area’s ongoing streetscape improvements will link the new hub to downtown.  Improvements, financed by the U.S. departments of Housing and Urban Development and Transportation, include new sidewalks, trees, benches and lantern-style streetlamps along Wagner Place and down Main Street to create a pedestrian-friendly pathway.
