Overview
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is when homes, stores and/or other amenities are built close to public transportation routes and stops. This makes it easier for people to get around without having to use a car.
The Tidwell TOD Plan is a pilot program to explore transit-oriented development at the existing Tidwell Transit Center and the area surrounding it.
The Tidwell TOD Plan recommends projects and policies that will:
- Enhance connectivity
- Promote walkability and sustainability
- Support equity through economic development and affordable housing
