Transit-Supportive Development A system of quality local streets complements the planning and development of a regional public transit network. Easy pedestrian access and a mix of uses are encouraged at existing and proposed transit stops to allow transit to become a viable alternative to the automobile. Private development and public places are designed to maximize opportunities for a regional transit network.
