GOLD LINE CORRIDOR VISION

19


Corridor-wide Vision 1. Establish a multi-modal transportation corridor that link stations 2. Enable station areas to achieve their development potential 3. Increase potential ridership

20


Station Access Hierarchy Corridor Trail

Station Access

HUDSON BOULEVARD A continuous walking and biking link between the ten BRTOD Planning Project stations.

GREENWAY AVENUE and DELLWOOD LANE Provide primary linkages to the Corridor Trail and stations.

Collector Trail

Neighborhood Access

HADLEY and CENTURY AVENUES Provide station access between neighborhoods and destinations outside the corridor.

7th STREET and GREYSTONE AVENUE Provide connections between Station Access, Collector Trail, and Corridor Trail routes.

21


Gold Line Corridor Vision

22


Station Typologies Neighborhood

Employment

Predominantly residential areas with few opportunities for transitoriented infill or redevelopment.

Established employment centers that provide familywage jobs and high transit ridership opportunities

Mixed use Neighborhood

Commerce

Established or significant redevelopment opportunities for neighborhood-scale residential, retail, and employment

Established commercial centers that are corridor and region-serving

Century Ave.

Greenway Avenue Station Addressing Key Issues: Hadley Ave.

I-94

Weir Dr.

Hudson Blvd.

 

Safety for bicycles and pedestrians – Add trails and sidewalks Limited activity at station — Provide development at the station Lack of commercial and housing options— Capitalize upon development opportunity sites Parking impacts — Utilize existing parking enforcement measures Existing use impacts – Identify development compatibility and drive-way access requirements 26


Century Ave.

Greenway Avenue Station Key Opportunities:

Hadley Ave.

I-94 Weir Dr.

Hudson Blvd.

Connectivity (from Hwy 120 to Hwy 694)– provide safe and direct walking and biking station routes Safe and active station— provide safe crosswalks to the station and locate commercial development facing the station Development – identify underutilized sites for neighborhood-serving commercial uses and multi-family housing

27
