KING STREET STATION
STATION AREA OVERVIEW
King Street Station in the West King Neighborhood is just west of the San Sebastian River that runs along the western limits of downtown St. Augustine. There are two bridges that connect this station area to the rest of downtown, making this area a western gateway into the downtown core. Here, the street grid is just as tight as the Urban and Built Up land cover found on the other side of the river, and most of the land is privately owned. Land use and density present in this station area is typical of urban-scaled neighborhoods with 1-3 story buildings within the commercial corridor along the King Street and S Ponce De Leon Boulevard. The core of the emerging West King neighborhood is an emerging design district known for its history and influx of creative businesses. Low density residential neighborhoods and government owned land uses surround the remainder of the area. Vacant and underutilized parcels are prevalent throughout the station area along King Street and residential neighborhoods. The station itself is on vacant land along the river in the western limits of the West King Neighborhood, enabling opportunities for TOD.
