How could bullet-train station transform downtown Fresno, California? City has an ambitious plan

, The Fresno Bee; November 5, 2018

When – or perhaps “if” – high-speed trains begin running on a route now being built in the central San Joaquin Valley, Fresno has plans ready for how to make the most of development opportunities around a future downtown station.

At an open-house presentation last week, the city released a final version of its Fresno Station District Master Plan – a design not for the station itself, but for the 14-block area bounded by Van Ness Avenue, Highway 99, Inyo and Tuolumne streets. That’s the area that’s roughly within a five-minute walk from the station site at Mariposa and H streets.
