SRG's Team
performed an initial feasibility study of a 640-acre site surrounding
the existing Amtrak Station to upgrade and expand the facility into
a modern Intermodal Transportation Center for the Capital District.
The new, 67,000 SF multi-purpose terminal, including an 850-car
Parking District and Herrick Street Bridge replacement, connects
CDTA city bus service, express jitneys to downtown Albany and the
Albany International Airport. Although the regional bus carriers
do not have scheduled stops at the new station, bus gates and an
at-grade lobby are in place for charters and excursions. It houses
ticket reservation service, rent-a-car, restaurant and specialty
retail services and the new Rensselaer Post Office. CDTA commissioned
SRG's Team to implement the design and redevelopment of the Amtrak
Station. It opened in September 2002.
