What is TOD?

Comes from the basic observation that people who depend upon public transit systems (bus or rail) like to live near transit stops as well as work and shop in the area in which they live. Transit Oriented Development typically consists of:

  • Mixed-use development, including higher-density

housing and commercial uses, with a high quality of design;

  • Development within reasonable walking distance

(5 minutes or ¼ mile) of a transit stop;

  • A safe, attractive and ‘walkable’ environment with

memorable streets, squares and plazas;

  • Maximum – rather than minimum – parking

requirements, putting a premium on walking and biking;

  • Fast, frequent and reliable transit service.

Purpose of the Project

Demonstrate TOD

concepts in a real setting.

Identify urban design and

development challenges that might arise.

Identify any design

concepts that could be used in other places.

Adams street Adams street

  • Focus on the proposed SMTD site for multi-

modal center

  • Passenger rail is component of the center
  • Development area is within ¼ mile radius of

transit center (or about a five minute walk from center to edge)

  • Considered eight blocks, approx. 25 acres, as the

primary redevelopment site

  • Three rail tracks, yet allow expansion of rail

tracks if more are needed

  • Availability of existing property for

redevelopment, except for public property

  • Accommodation of some existing uses on site in

the new development (potential property transfers)

  • Adoption of Complete Street Policy concepts
  • Availability of funds for the project: Money is

not a barrier, but the plan should be financially realistic (base comparison: Lincoln Square and City Centre projects)

Site Considerations

SMTD RAILWAY TERMINAL HOUSING MIXED USE GENESIS (SHA) PRAIRIE CENTER 10TH STREET RAIL CORRIDOR DOWNTOWN (WEST) EAST SPRINGFIELD

  • Combining eight Blocks into three clusters - Multimodal Center, Mixed Use & Housing. Based
  • n the existing road network and in relation to the surrounding uses, with adequate

provision of parking.

  • Bus terminal on west side and railway terminal to be on east side of Multimodal Center
  • Future extension of Prairie Capital Convention Center to meet conference and meeting room

needs

  • Connection of Multimodal Centre to the Capitol Avenue streetscape project
  • Enhancing preservation and accessibility of historic Lincoln Depot
  • Connection to the housing development (Genesis) by SHA (Springfield Housing Authority)
  • Create visual linkages to break down perceived perceptual barriers: east-to-west, north-to-

south

Design Concepts

Physical Elements like Benches, lamp posts, flower pots, Trees and pathways provide Welcoming and comfortable Feeling to people. Vistas create Visual connections and Pedestrian circulation pattern. Art objects like Sculptures and Fountains can be placed at Visual points

Sit out cafes and restaurants create link between surrounding retail and activities in the public plaza. It also creates night time activities. Shaded bus stops with schedule boards, lamp posts, trees and flower pots create Safer environment
