On Thursday May 2nd, at the Senior Center at 755 W 15th St, between 5-7pm, the High Speed Rail authority will be showing off a scale model of the proposed Merced High Speed Rail station, answering questions, and taking comments. So, it'd be a good thing to go if you're curious or just need something to do, but there's also something important you can bring up. **Currently, they haven't decided between surrounding all 8 blocks of the station with parking lots or mixed use, transit-oriented development.** IMO, surrounding the station with parking lots the whole way round wouldn't only be ugly and hostile to anyone not driving a car, but it would be a major footgun moment for both Merced and the HSR at once. We can do better than eight parking lots. I plan on being there to let them know, I'd like your help, too.
