Purpose of this Report This report presents a transit-oriented development (TOD) planning and implementation study of Cleveland’s E. 116th Street station area. It was undertaken by the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA), the state- and federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Greater Cleveland. This E.116th Street report is part of NOACA’s Regional TOD Scorecard and Implementation Plan, a two-phase regional initiative begun in 2015. NOACA’s consulting team was led by AECOM. In Phase I, NOACA worked with its study partners—the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (RTA) and Cleveland Neighborhood Progress, Inc.—as well as the City of Cleveland and other stakeholders to develop a regional TOD framework. This framework began with a broad, flexible definition of TOD based on four foundational ingredients: Development that is compact and dense—not in uniform, absolute terms but in relative terms, compared to the surrounding area. This allows more people to live, work, shop, or go to school within walking distance of the station or stop. A rich mix of land uses, if not at each station then in each segment of a corridor. Mixed-use development helps create safe “24/7” places. When housing, jobs, and other uses are in close proximity, many daily activities can be reached by walking or biking. Mixed-use development also allows more efficient use of the transit system, by generating commuter trips both to and from the station in question. A safe, inviting, and interconnected public realm that “glues” land uses to each other and to the transit station. Transit-oriented development is also pedestrian-oriented development, and successful station areas include a grid of small, navigable blocks with ample sidewalks, active uses at street-level, attractive amenities, good lighting and way-finding, bicycle lanes and facilities, and uniform accessibility for seniors, the disabled, and people with baby carriages. A new approach to parking. TOD doesn’t mean “no cars”—even with an emphasis on transit, pedestrian, and bicycle use, successful TOD will generate car trips. But TOD does require less parking. It can afford lower parking ratios that take advantage of transit; shared parking facilities that take advantage of mixed uses; and location and design standards that blend into the district. Notwithstanding these common ingredients, TOD is not a “one-size-fits-all” concept. It can occur in different shapes, sizes, and combinations. A key product of Phase I was the TOD Place Typology.

  • Cleveland's Greater University Circle Initiative
    Cleveland’s Greater University Circle Initiative An Anchor-Based Strategy for Change Walter Wright Kathryn W. Hexter Nick Downer Cleveland’s Greater University Circle Initiative An Anchor-Based Strategy for Change Walter Wright, Kathryn W. Hexter, and Nick Downer Cities are increasingly turning to their “anchor” institutions as drivers of economic development, harnessing the power of these major economic players to benefit the neighborhoods where they are rooted. This is especially true for cities that are struggling with widespread poverty and disinvestment. Ur- ban anchors­­—typically hospitals and universities—have some- times isolated themselves from the poor and struggling neigh- borhoods that surround them. But this is changing. Since the late 1990s, as population, jobs, and investment have migrated outward, these “rooted in place” institutions are becoming a key to the long, hard work of revitalization. In Cleveland, the Greater University Circle Initiative is a unique, multi-stake- holder initiative with a ten-year track record. What is the “se- cret sauce” that keeps this effort together? Walter W. Wright is the Program Manager for Economic Inclusion at Cleveland State. Kathryn W. Hexter is the Director of the Center for Community Planning and Development of Cleveland State University’s Levin College of Urban Affairs. Nick Downer is a Graduate Assistant at the Center for Community Planning and Development. 1 Cleveland has won national attention for the role major non- profits are playing in taking on the poverty and disinvest- ment plaguing some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city. Where once vital university and medical facilities built barri- ers separating themselves from their neighbors, now they are engaging with them, generating job opportunities, avenues to affordable housing, and training in a coordinated way.
