A citizen’s initiative entitled the Hercules Waterfront Initiative is being circulated and enacted in order to: promote and enhance the unique waterfront character and scenic resources of the City’s Waterfront District through development of a transit-oriented neighborhood that includes walkable streets that serve a variety of dwelling types and businesses, and public plazas with views of San Francisco Bay; implement the final stages of the Hercules Waterfront District Master Plan through adoption of design and development guidelines for the Historic Town Center, Transit Village, and Hercules Point Sub-Districts that encourage a transit- oriented, and pedestrian-oriented mix of uses along the bayfront in the City of Hercules; and, implement the goals and objectives of the Waterfront District Master Plan by providing for the location of a Multi-Modal Transit System linking together rail service, a connection to downtown San Francisco via a ferry terminal, and bus service via WestCAT, making Hercules home to the first train, ferry, and bus center in California.
