Abstract This study advances land use, transportation planning, and public finance research by identifying: a) the various land use, zoning, and value capture-related barriers to the construction of transit-oriented developments (TODs); and b) the major strategies that are commonly used or could be used to address these barriers. The value capture (VC) tools include joint development projects, tax increment financing, special assessments, lease/sale of land or air rights, and impact fees. The research finds that while a large proportion of jurisdictions across the US have TODs, land use, zoning, and VC-related barriers often impede their construction. Most transit agencies are not allowed to purchase land for constructing TODs, nor do they have land use and zoning powers over the station-area land. In the absence of legally enforceable inter-agency agreements between city governments and transit agencies, a large proportion of these public agencies rely on looser, collaborative agreements. Finally, while the use of eminent domain to assemble land parcels is critical for constructing TODs in already-developed areas, local governments rarely use this power to enable TODs. 17.

    2015 BART Station Profile Study Station Profiles – Non-Home Origins STATION PROFILES – NON-HOME ORIGINS This section contains a summary sheet for selected BART stations, based on data from customers who travel to the station from non-home origins, like work, school, etc. The selected stations listed below have a sample size of at least 200 non-home origin trips: • 12th St. / Oakland City Center • Glen Park • 16th St. Mission • Hayward • 19th St. / Oakland • Lake Merritt • 24th St. Mission • MacArthur • Ashby • Millbrae • Balboa Park • Montgomery St. • Civic Center / UN Plaza • North Berkeley • Coliseum • Oakland International Airport (OAK) • Concord • Powell St. • Daly City • Rockridge • Downtown Berkeley • San Bruno • Dublin / Pleasanton • San Francisco International Airport (SFO) • Embarcadero • San Leandro • Fremont • Walnut Creek • Fruitvale • West Dublin / Pleasanton Maps for these stations are contained in separate PDF files at www.bart.gov/stationprofile. The maps depict non-home origin points of customers who use each station, and the points are color coded by mode of access. The points are weighted to reflect average weekday ridership at the station. For example, an origin point with a weight of seven will appear on the map as seven points, scattered around the actual point of origin. Note that the number of trips may appear underrepresented in cases where multiple trips originate at the same location. The following summary sheets contain basic information about each station’s weekday non-home origin trips, such as: • absolute number of entries and estimated non-home origin entries • access mode share • trip origin types • customer demographics. Additionally, the total number of car and bicycle parking spaces at each station are included for context.

  • Oakland Transit Village Is Rising City Planners and BART Officials Pin Renewal and Ridership Hopes on New Development
    HOT LOT | EAST BAY Oakland Transit Village Is Rising City planners and BART officials pin renewal and ridership hopes on new development. By Sasha Vasilyuk he area surrounding Oakland’s MacArthur BART station, while located near the major intersection of Highway 24 and Interstate 580, has not been Ta model of urban glory. Te neighborhood currently features a below street- grade parking lot, a small strip mall, a surgery center, a church and single-family homes. But developers of the new MacArthur BART transit village hope the $370 mil- lion, 7.76-acre project will do much to change the area’s look. Te new community is to include affordable and market-rate housing, retail, a parking garage and a child care center. Fingers are crossed that the development expands upon the success of the nearby Temescal district. “Te Temescal-area retailers are already expanding on their own, but there is a dead area now on Telegraph [Avenue] where there is a lot of vacancy, and we are hoping that that stretch will be helped,” said Kathy Kleinbaum, project manager at the city’s redevelopment agency. “You put 624 housing units and a major desti- nation—the BART station—and we think those people are going to shop in the Temescal district.” This page First to be constructed is the 480-car garage that will replace BART’s surface Top Left: Future MacArthur transit village parking lot.

  • 20100408 Glenmont Mand Ref Revised 000.Pdf
    REMARKS OF MICHAEL MCATEER, PRESIDENT GLENMONT CIVIC ASSOCIATION INCORPORATED MONTGOMERY COUNTY PLANNING BOARD FOREST CONSERVATION PLAN AND MANDATORY REFERRAL HEARING SILVER SPRING, MARYLAND APRIL 8, 2010 Good morning. I am Michael McAteer, president of the Glenmont Civic Association, Incorporated (GCAI). Our association has represented Glenmont since 1993. Glenmont was built in the early 1950’s for returning veterans and has been a thriving community since then. We have a close neighborhood with many families living in the same home for generations. For many people, when they get to Glenmont, they stay there. The first part of my remarks will address the 1993 Forest Conservation Plan for the “WMATA Triangle Property” in Glenmont. The second part will address the Metro garage planned for this site. Request to Amend 1993 Forest Conservation Plan WMATA is asking the Planning Board to amend the 1993 Forest Conservation Plan (FCP) currently protecting the 10.27 acres WMATA Triangle Property and for a variance. The amendment will allow WMATA to destroy over an acre of forest protected by the FCP. The variance will allow WMATA to remove seven specimen trees over 30 inches in diameter protected by the FCP and the Maryland Forest Conservation Act. Exhibit 1 (Google WMATA Triangle) The boundaries of the Triangle Property, as shown in the image, are generally Georgia Avenue and the rear yards of a number of private properties that front on Urbana Drive, Denley Road, and Flack Street. This entire property remained undeveloped when Glenmont was originally built. We believe the area behind the houses in the Triangle was not developed for good reasons.
