DeLand The addition of SunRail to the is the next step in the evolution of ’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, , 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 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. Poinciana 54 LYNX Central TOD Station Concept

Aerial photo of existing conditions. 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.
