  • Maryland Parkway Corridor
    MARYLAND PARKWAY CORRIDOR TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment April 27th, 2020 Foreword The Maryland Parkway Corridor Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment was developed in early 2020 prior to the broader spread of COVID-19 and the declaration of a global pandemic. As such, the report accurately reflects the conditions that existed within the study area prior to March 2020, but does not necessarily reflect the existing conditions or the “new normal” that is expected as the Las Vegas Valley, the nation and the globe emerge from the current crisis. Moving forward, it will be critical to supplement the observations and findings included within this report with observations, data and community input with regards to how behavior, public health provisions, and market conditions will be different over the coming months. The TOD Plans will also need to make assessments of what changes are likely to be temporary and what shifts may permanently impact how we live, work and play in this important corridor.
