PLANNING PRINCIPLES
ALTERNATIVE A ALTERNATIVE B ALTERNATIVE C
What about areas
outside the Nodes?
• Develop as a mixture of
the following uses:
What about other
centers?• Secondary centers
along Berkmar could be
served by local
circulator bus lines
ALTERNATIVE A ALTERNATIVE B ALTERNATIVE C
WHAT DO THESE ALTERNATIVES IMPLY?
• FUTURE OF THE CORRIDOR SHOULD CENTER ON “NODES”
OR CENTERS OF DEVELOPMENT
• HOW MANY CENTERS AND WHERE?
• WHAT SHOULD THE CENTERS LOOK LIKE?
• WHAT ABOUT AREAS OUTSIDE THE CENTERS?
WHAT COULD THE CENTERS LOOK LIKE?
ALTERNATIVE A ALTERNATIVE B ALTERNATIVE C
NEXT STEPS
• GET INPUT ON A ‘PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE’
• PREPARE REPORT ON FINDINGS TO CLOSE OUT PHASE 1
• PHASE 2 TO ADDRESS A MORE DETAILED PLAN AND
IMPACT ANALYSIS
