Fremont Initiatives Show Progress Downtown

From the City of Fremont: Projects in Fremont are starting to come to life in our initiative areas of Downtown and the Innovation District in Warm Springs/South Fremont. Capitol Avenue is now a new multimodal street that is transforming Downtown into a walkable and bike-friendly district.

Locale @ State Street is under construction and will change Downtown’s skyline with a mix of housing and retail opportunities available in 2018. Downtown will serve as a hub for many popular events, parades, and festivals including Burgers and Brew Fest, Fremont Street Eats, and the largest free street festival west of the Mississippi, Fremont Festival of the Arts.

Fremont’s new Warm Springs/South Fremont BART station will serve as an economic catalyst in creating a transit-oriented, job-focused, and mixed-use innovation district. The iconic cable-stayed West Access Bridge and Plaza project, with additional pedestrian and bicycle access west of the station, is scheduled for construction in spring 2017.

Lennar and Toll Brothers are also building major public infrastructures. This includes multimodal streets, a new public elementary school, community parks and plazas, and affordable rental housing scheduled to go vertical in winter 2016/17.
