➢ Improve passenger amenities, convenience, safety. ➢ Accommodate more and better transit services: bus ridership growth, Camden-Glassboro, South Jersey BRT. ➢ Fundamentally change the urban form of WRTC. ➢ Create a place-making and economic development
- pportunity organized around transit.

A Quick Look Back
➢ Initial public meeting at Cooper Hospital on May 25. ➢ Discussed Walter Rand Transportation Center, the study area in and around the station, and the overall goals of the Walter Rand study. ➢ Presented transportation analysis and real estate market analysis. ➢ Gained valuable input on some key design features of a new Walter Rand, particularly about expanded bus service.

Market Analysis: Downtown Camden
A lot of good news:
- Visionary legislation
- $430 million in construction
- Cooper Rowan Medical School
- Rutgers Nursing School
- Rowan/Rutgers Health Sciences
- Waterfront redevelopment
- Campbell reinvestment
- Subaru headquarters
- Lanning Square School
Still a ways to go:
- Housing: only 2% of downtown
eds/meds/corporate employees live in Downtown Camden.
- Only 7% of Camden students live downtown;
most of them in dorms.
- Students, employees, and residents go
elsewhere to shop.
- Place-making hasn’t caught up to
development.
- In a word: opportunity.
SLIDE 9
Market Analysis: Potential Development
➢Residential Next 5 years: demand for 180-530 multi-family units in the half-mile station area. ➢Office Regional market flat, but a targeted opportunity in eds + meds offices. ➢Retail Demand for modest “glue” retail in response to transit and other uses. ➢Hotel One being developed on the waterfront; potential demand for another in the downtown-waterfront area.
