Kickoff
September 2011
“[I envision a c]reation of a sense of ‘place’ within the corridor, more of a neighborhood with its own special look and feel. [The corridor n]eeds to offer services so I don’t have to go so far for the things I need. Also the corridor needs to include more housing to support the [high capacity transit] being considered.”
