Bottineau Boulevard Transitway Station Area Pre-Planning Study,
February 2013 (40 Mb)
This draft study provides Bottineau Corridor stakeholders with a foundation of objective information to build upon during future station area planning. Existing corridor conditions (demographics, land use, employment, housing, etc.) are noted. A corridor-wide vision is proposed so that stakeholders from a wide variety of backgrounds and interests can have a shared set of goals from which to make decisions. Station typologies provide a framework for understanding the desired character of future station areas. Best practices for transit-oriented development planning advise local planners of what has worked in similar communities with similar issues. Finally, a community engagement plan identifies under-represented populations and makes recommendations for including them in corridor decision making. This study will be finalized later in 2013, when additional analysis on the station areas in the locally preferred alternative is complete. |
Bottineau Station Area Typology Matrix, July 2012
Planners in the Bottineau Corridor developed this Typology Matrix to help identify when and where planning and implementation activities may be needed to support transit-oriented development in the Bottineau Corridor station areas. A Typology describes a station area according to measurable conditions and qualitative knowledge such as access/connectivity, land uses, potential for change, and equity concerns. This information can help shape expectations and guide objectives for policymakers, developers, community members and other corridor stakeholders. More detailed information on the Bottineau Typologies is available here.

Bottineau Land Use Planning Framework, February 2012 (8 Mb)
The Bottineau Land Use Planning Framework is intended to guide land use planning over the next several years in the neighborhoods surrounding the Bottineau Transitway stations. When station areas are planned to serve the community, they provide residents with better access to housing, employment, education, business, services, recreation, and entertainment. Strong pedestrian, bicycle, bus, and vehicle connections to transit stations offer residents more transportation choices, and memorable public spaces create a sense of place and community. Community involvement is crucial to the success of these efforts, so please watch the website for opportunities to participate in the Bottineau planning process. |
