The Hamilton Station Area Vision Plan sets forth a conceptual design for the development of a mixed-use center on 250-acres adjacent to the existing rail station. The advantages of access to Northeast Corridor rail service as well as the interstate highway system via a full interchange with I-295 create a unique opportunity for redevelopment which will transform the rail station precinct.

The Vision Plan, developed by the joint venture of Clarke Caton Hintz / Ehrenkratnz Eckstut & Kuhn, provides a detailed concept for development of the NJ Transit property. Among the key features of the plan for the site are the following:

• A complementary and marketable mix of land uses -- retail, office and residential -- which takes advantage of available infrastructure and promotes transit use

• A walkable, village-scale environment with mixed-use streets, a lively public "transit commons" and a coordinated array of other pedestrian amenities

• An architecturally distinctive environment featuring a high quality of design and materials for buildings and public spaces

• Accommodations for New Jersey Transit's existing 1,600-car commuter parking requirement plus an additional 2,600 parking spaces to accommodate anticipated growth
