The Great Mall Station is a 4-acre property located at the corner of Great Mall Parkway and Fairlane Drive in Milpitas, California. This property currently serves as a Park & Ride lot for VTA Light Rail and Bus passengers. It has a pedestrian walkway from the parking lot to the Great Mall Light Rail station, which is served by VTA’s Orange Line. The lot also contains a retired bus loop. A bus stop for the 66 and 44 VTA bus lines is located on Great Mall Parkway adjacent to the site.
This land has the potential for mixed-use Transit-Oriented Development (TOD). Transit-oriented projects allow people to live and work near public transportation, which helps clear the air, ease traffic, and add infrastructure investments to the community.
VTA's Transit-Oriented Development Program works with municipal, non-profit, and private partners to encourage the development of housing, retail, and employment centers in places that will help increase transit ridership and contribute to a vibrant community.
Station Access Study
The Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA) will initiate a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Station Access Study for the Great Mall Station to analyze multi-modal access and circulation to and from the station and development area.
Community Outreach
VTA delivers outreach to the community in many ways, from email, web page posting like this, signage, tabling at events, presenting at your neighborhood association, and by mail notifications, to name a few. We use multiple approaches to ensure the community is informed and allow for authentic engagement.
Community Meetings
VTA will host a community meeting/open house in early 2025 to introduce VTA’s TOD program and this TOD site, hear your input on local area needs, and gather ideas for how pedestrian and bicyclist access can be improved.
