Share your ideas at Dec. 10 meeting on land uses near our 3 lightrail stations
The LYNX Blue Line extension to University City is likely to bring new development to our community once it opens in 2017. What kind of development do we want? City and transit planners invite you to help decide, beginning with a public meeting 4:30-6:30 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Oasis Shriners Center in University Place.
MEETING TO FOCUS ON 3 STATIONS IN UNIVERSITY CITY
The meeting will focus on current and future land-use plans around the North Tryon Street transit stations near University City Boulevard, McCullough Drive and JW Clay Boulevard. City staff will also share information about the supporting infrastructure program for the Blue Line Extension.
Comments shared by participants at the Dec. 10 meeting could help shape new recommendations for the future land use of properties within the transit station planning areas. For instance, should University City have mid-rise or taller buildings near its stations? How much multifamily development do we want?
The meeting may also influence revisions to the overall University City Area Plan, a land-use guide approved in 2007 for the broader business district.
