Transit Oriented Development

Mr. Glick coordinated transit station area planning for the 5-1/2 mile East Burnside Corridor, the central portion of Portland’s first LRT line, including preparation of a station area inventory and analysis, preliminary and final urban design plans, development character assessment, alternative pedestrian right-of-way sketches, performance criteria, zoning, corridor and station area goals, alternative land use plans, zoning ordinance exhibit, implementation regulations, and a zoning evaluation by goals. The project included nine (9) light rail stations and transit station areas each approximately 1/2 mile in diameter. Thirty years later, the visitor to East Burnside can see numerous transit-oriented developments (TODs) popping up througout the corridor, such as the project at the 172nd Avenue Station seen in the above photo.
