Bus Rapid Transit-oriented Development (BRTOD)
BRTOD Project Objectives:
1. Establish a multi-modal corridor (walking, biking, transit & auto) 2. Increase potential ridership (transit access & new development) 3. Enable station areas to achieve their development potential (capture latent market demand & improve quality of life) 4. Identify infrastructure investments and policy changes funding priorities and policies encourage development)

Summary of Phase 2 Neighborhood Feedback Park-and-ride/station farther south of 4th Street is an improvement Higher-density toward freeway and gradual shift to lowerdensity near 4th Street Place employment near freeway and housing along 4th Street Love the “main street” and central park Consider wider trails and separation of walkers and bikers Concerns about safety and security along trails Concerns about traffic increase especially at Helmo & 4th St 16

Market Analysis Strong demand for housing up to 1,100 units Medical office is part of a broader development trend across
the Twin Cities and neighboring Woodbury and Lake Elmo – up to 75,000 square feet Retail is limited to the station area and future drive-by traffic from the Helmo/Bielenberg Bridge – up to 30,000 square feet Traditional office development is the weakest in the Twin Cities and will not likely exceed 45,000 square feet 20
