LYNX Central Station, Interstate 4, and Creative Village 53 SunRail Transit Oriented Development Workshop Sketchbook Artist’s rendering looking west towards LYNX Central Station, Interstate 4, and Creative Village. DeLand The addition of SunRail to the LYNX Central Station is the next step in the evolution of downtown Orlando’s Central Business District and main transit hub, supporting area infill and redevelopment, stimulating job creation and LYNX CENTRAL TOD CONCEPT TOD CENTRAL LYNX investment, and strengthening connections between downtown and the DeBary region. Sanford The addition of SunRail increases the existing station’s transit capacity and activity, supporting the many existing and proposed uses in the area including the Lake Mary Orange County and Federal Courthouses, Amway Center, the “Creative Village” Longwood development to the west, and the 5.64 acre “400 North Orange” development Altamonte Springs proposed immediately to the east with 350 hotel rooms, a 25,000 sq. ft. Maitland conference center, 600,000 sq. ft. of office, 50,000 sq. ft. of retail, and 400 Winter Park Florida Hospital residential units. Lynx Central Church Street Area parking structures will be set back from the station to allow development Orlando/Amtrak closest to the platform. The historic grid of streets will be augmented by pedestrian Sand Lake Road improvements that will facilitate connection and crossings of N. Orange Avenue and under Interstate 4. Meadow Woods Potential desirable next steps include careful coordination with the City of Osceola Parkway Orlando, area developers, and the Florida Department of Transportation to assure Kissimmee that projects complement one another and create pedestrian friendly streets.

Lynx Central is strategically located to serve key redevelopment station parcels immediately adjacent to the station and “Creative Village” to the west, on the other side of I-4. The station is one of two downtown scale TODs on the SunRail corridor and planned to be the second most intensively developed station on the system. The City of Orlando’s Downtown Development Board (DDB), as the agency responsible for the revitalization of the City’s core area, has the tools, staff and experience to leverage the coming of SunRail. LYNX CENTRAL TOD NEXT STEPS NEXT TOD CENTRAL LYNX Capitalizing on these key sites underscores the importance of following the TOD Principles presented earlier in the report. Next steps so the development is truly a TOD include: • Linking the station and the development in a spectacular manner - paying careful attention to pedestrian flows, active ground floor uses and a quality pedestrian realm through the site to help assure success. • Assuring development is transit-supportive in terms of parking, density, mix and building orientation. • Moving to transit-friendly parking ratios on both sites to help leverage access to SunRail. District parking, a technique which allows phasing and reducing parking over time, may be quite appropriate here. • Creating a product mix and design for the two planned developments that takes advantage of the location, which can be a win-win. • Traffic calming and enhanced pedestrian connections on Livingston Street under I-4 to expand the influence area of the station..

    TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) PRECEDENT BOOK CITY OF RALEIGH DECEMBER 2020 CITY OF RALEIGH TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT (TOD) PRECEDENT BOOK DECEMBER 2020 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Transit-Oriented Development Precedent Book was prepared by WSP USA, on behalf of the City Planning Department and through a collaborative process. RALEIGH TOD PRECEDENT BOOK INTRODUCTION The TOD Precedent Book (the book) builds on the ETOD Guidebook and provides guidance to developers who want to participate in the dynamic evolution of Raleigh’s BRT corridors. Transit-oriented development (TOD) INTRODUCTION offers unique advantages to developers but is not without challenges. For this reason, this book focuses on lessons learned. This book explains 1 why TOD locations enjoy more market demand than auto-dependent locations, and describes critical factors for market-based success and opportunities to apply Equitable TOD principles. Lessons learned have been derived from TOD case studies and literature. Case studies Raleigh is the fastest-growing city in North Carolina and one of the selected capture places where original conditions are similar in context fastest-growing regions in America. With a population of more than to the BRT Corridors of Wake County. The lessons learned consider how 470,000 in 2018, Raleigh (the City) is expected to reach 600,000 TOD development came to be, and describe important features for by 2030. As Raleigh and Wake County continues to grow, traffic economic feasibility and community benefits. congestion will also increase. Recognizing the role of transit in serving the needs of a growing population, Wake County voters approved a plan in November 2016 for focused investment in public transit, which includes building approximately 20 miles of Bus Rapid Transit BRT and TOD (BRT) lines.
