ECHO Phase II

ECHO Phase II will add detail to key aspects of the Phase I analysis and extend Phase I findings to help articulate how the Grand Boulevard vision can be implemented at the local level.  The scope of work includes: 1) Conducting four case studies that address development scenarios, fiscal impacts, potential barriers to investment, and strategies for revitalization for cities on the Corridor, 2) Developing a Corridor Guidance to Cities: Implementation Action Guide that addresses the “how to” of transforming the Corridor and creating the “Grand” that will strengthen regional identity and advantage.

ECHO Phase II is funded by a U.S. Department of Transportation TIGER II Planning Grant, the San Mateo County Transit District, the San Mateo City/County Association of Governments, the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority, as well as City staff support from the four selected case study cities.

Case Studies

ECHO Phase II includes the develompment of four case studies. The purpose of the case studies is to address specific development scenarios and barriers that are representative of other communities along the corridor. The four case study project areas are in: Belmont, Daly City, Mountain View, and South San Francisco.

Project Status

The ECHO II consultant team is gathering data, reviewing background materials, and analyzing existing conditions for each of the case studies.
