Station Area Planning

Station Area Planning Goals and Expectations Things to Consider: • Neighborhood Economic Benefits and Real Estate Development • Mixed Uses (Residential, Retail and Commercial) • Housing Choices (Age, Family Restructure, Income, Rental and Ownership) • Public Spaces (Plazas, Pocket Parks, etc.) • Friendly Walking Environment • Access to and from Station for Pedestrians, Bicyclists, and Motorists • Linkages to Area Amenities such as Shopping Centers, Churches, Cultural Facilities
