Airport Land Use and Multimodal Integration Walking Tour

It’s often said that the future is arriving now and no where is that more evident than in the realm of aviation and especially advanced air mobility. A common element to the emerging technologies discussed during this conference are the points of connection between activities in the air and the land below. The impacts of these activities as these connections generate many questions. On this tour we will travel from the mystical world of SFO via BART to the intermodal Center of the Millbrae Station. From the upper platform of the station we will view and discuss the land use challenges of the surrounding area. Where do we site vertiports? How do we provide widespread and equitable access to advanced air mobility? How do we avoid burdensome exposure to aircraft light and sound. Currently in the station vicinity, there are proposals and active projects that range from bio-tech centers to housing and commercial developments. After an overview from the station platform, we will walk through the surrounding neighborhoods. We will see historic structures, sites in transition and potential sites for change. All locations will be ADA accessible and the total travel distance movement will be no more than 3 miles from the Millbrae platform.
