Corridors  Corridors in 2040 provide efficient, contiguous, multi-modal and environmentally sensitive transportation and activity connections between compact centers. They contain mixed land uses that best meet the needs of
local communities and the region.2040 Transportation and Land Use Compatible land uses and development patterns along the region's corridors foster efficient and healthy travel behaviors and a sustainable transportation system. Dense city centers have the infrastructure and service capacity to accommodate land uses and related transportation requirements along the corridors. The public is educated about the use of transit, alternative transportation options such as walking or biking and access points to multi-modal corridors. 2040 Corridor Intersections Corridor intersections connect with various modes of transportation from trains and buses to bicycles and boats. They provide the option for multi-modal trips, such as connecting bicycle paths with transit options. These connections reduce the reliance on the automobile and help the broader region access community resources. Mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly developments are created at these intersection locations. 2040 Urban Design and Context-sensitive Solutions Transportation and facility infrastructure is integrated into the natural and built environment in a manner that minimizes impacts to valued natural and cultural resources. Building heights fit with their surroundings; parking is placed at the side or rear; and sidewalk access is effectively designed. Bridge and pedestrian walkways are designed to fit with the context of the natural environment. These context-sensitive solutions are an outcome of considering environmental and public concerns throughout the planning and design process. Continue to Visualizing the Future – Green Areas > > |
