Section 10-A402. POLICIES AND ACTIONS: T-1 LINKING LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION

 

402.1Transportation and land use are the fundamental components of development, and are inextricably linked to each other and to the form of our cities. The construction of a new transportation facility, such as a Metrorail station or a light rail or streetcar line, influences the nature and location of new development in that area. The nature and location of development in turn, influences patterns of travel for residents. Transportation facilities themselves are a significant element of the built environment, creating connections but at times also creating barriers. They can spur economic development and help attract private investment, but they can also create land use conflicts and environmental problems. 402.1
