Transit Ready Design at the Community Scale

The Transit Ready Sector

• Design greenfield developments to be transit ready over time.

• Plan for build-out

• Shift our focus from planning projects to planning sub-regions or area-wide districts

• In infill areas fill out the system one piece at a time. Think long term

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line on 2 mile centers or a streetcar system.

• Market-driven, transit-ready designs for new development using multi-way boulevards

Innovative Planning Through Regional Cooperation

• No golf course in need of constant watering

• Less lawn area (due to higher densities) means less irrigation and less fertilizer and pesticide

• Less edge impact means less unintentional runoff of fertilizer and pesticide directly into the natural system

The Restoration Plan

• 5,187 Acres

• 32% Developed (1,660 acres)

• 68% Preserved (3,527 acres)

• 8,500 Mixed Residential Units

• Density of 5.1 units/acre

• 3.2 Million Sq Ft of Commercial,

Retail, Office, Civic and Medical

Compact, Mixed-Use Development is a Prerequisite for Transit

Multimodal CorridorStreetcar as a developer amenity

Use of transit to significantly reduced concurrency payments for off site road improvements

Phasing development with transit

Commitment in the development order including appropriate phasing

Multi-Modal Corridor

Multi-Modal Corridor: The Transit Boulevard

Phasing the Multi Way Boulevard

• In the first phase transit on one side will likely be built primarily as an amenity.

• Per the development order, transit is built in phase with transit-supportive densities

• Similarly frontage lanes need only be added when development facing the road begins.

Transit Ready Design

For sectors or area plans

For large projects

Reserve land for transit AND for transit appropriate land uses.

Use design solutions that ensure the roads and space function in the near and long term
