RELATIVE DENSITYTOD seeks greater density so that more

people can live, work, shop, or go to

school within walking distance of the

station.


6/19

MIX OF USESThe clustering of uses allows people to

do what they need and want to do moreconveniently and strengthens the link

between transit and development, as

station areas become “24/7” places

where people use transit at night and onweekends.


7/19

A GREAT PUBLIC REALMA pedestrian-oriented environment includes

sidewalks throughout, with attractive amenities,

lighting, way-finding and collective spaces that

frame the community and generate vibrancy.


8/19

A NEW APPROACHTO PARKINGTOD requires less parking, encourages

shared parking between

complimentary uses and parking is

designed so as not to dominate the

visual or pedestrian environment.
