Light Rail & Economic Development
Light rail focuses development within specific areas (station areas) Transit-oriented development leads to higher
density, greater intensity and walkable streetscapes Leads to mixed-use development that is more
conducive to walking/biking Connects residential districts with commercial,
office and activity centers
