RCTC developed plans in the 2000s to build a transit-oriented development (TOD) at the station, enlarge the parking lot, and build improved bus facilities.[10][11][14][15] In 2010, Caltrans granted funds to increase parking capacity at the station.[16] As of 2016, the parking expansion was in the public comment phase, and the TOD apartment complex was under construction.[17][18]
