90% Design Information
In December 2025, the design for Shepard reached the 90% milestone. This means that the design is almost done; only fine tuning remains before construction can begin. At 90%, the design is fully developed with all plans and specifications, and compliance with codes and standards.
Any comments or revisions from the 90% design, once successfully implemented, can then be converted into an Issue For Construction (IFC) set of drawings, allowing construction to begin.
The 60% design milestone was met in late 2024, and the designs are available to view here.
Public Spaces
Within Shepard Station, larger landscaping elements will provide locations for thoughtfully placed art installations. Whether individuals are waiting at transit stops, riding the train, or walking within the station area, they can interact with the art displayed within it.
An event space north of the station for community programming will be framed by raised planters and tree planting. This space also promotes passenger-friendly space to wait in and travel through.
