Ugh, the mall isn't to draw train riders. It's a multi-use building. Amtrak is to be a tenant like anyone else. Denver Union Station has a similar setup - the main hall is basically a public lounge for city residents, the old ticket windows are a bar, there's some fancy eateries in the building, the upstairs is a hotel. Until the commuter rail opened there was just the one long distance train per day serving it. There could have been zero trains serving it and it would still have hundreds of people going there each day. It's also at the foot of a free downtown circulator bus which runs frequently enough that there is no schedule.Someone put the idea succinctly: downtown is already improving without a new train station. This would trigger a round of improvements in a completely different neighborhood. |
