The phase-one components are a 3,000-square-foot station and a bus transfer facility similar to that located on Granby Street at Wards Corner, Woolard said.

"It is also still contemplated that a covered walkway connection will be possible between the inter-city passenger rail station and the light rail station," he said.

Phase-one work includes a 2,400-square-foot passenger rail station with a ticketing desk, small waiting room, baggage room and bathrooms.

Philip Shucet, president and CEO of Hampton Roads Transit, the quasi-public agency that operates Norfolk's light rail system and the area's bus system, was the former president of Baker Environmental and Baker Mellon Stuart, two business units of Pittsburgh-based Michael Baker Corp.

The U.S. Department of Transportation turned down Norfolk's request for a $10 million grant to fund a much larger project with shops and a ferry dock for passengers shuttling back and forth to Portsmouth, as well as the Peninsula.
