The memorandum discusses the At-Grade Station Alternative and Diridon Program, which was approved for environmental review by the Diridon Station Steering Committee on May 21, 2025. The proposal includes various improvements such as station reconfiguration, street closures, and noise barriers. The Partner Agencies involved have been collaborating since 2018 to enhance the Diridon Station to accommodate future transit needs.
