PúblicoConteúdo disponível para baixar
open in viewerThe goal of this project was to design a new train station with increased service in Framingham to help revitalize its downtown. The MBTA has resolved to electrify the commuter rail, enabling faster, more frequent service. Our group worked with TransitMatters to investigate how the Framingham station can be redesigned to support increased train capacity and service. This report also discusses how a new station design can encourage multimodal transportation and improve access around the station for all forms of transportation. In our designs, we focused on resolving the congestion of the roadways in the downtown area, investigated grade separation of the railroad tracks, and determined the improvements needed to best serve current train riders and Framingham residents.
