Scenario S: Preferred Alternative

Scenario S: Creating Mixed-use Centers Around Major Transportation Areas Is The Primary Driver Of Improved Transportation Performance Plan a range of mixed use centers around transit –A few regional centers –Many neighborhood centers –Close access to centers throughout the Vistas

Scenario S: Creating Mixed-use Centers Around Major Transportation Areas Is The Primary Driver Of Improved Transportation Performance Plan a range of mixed use centers around transit –A few regional centers –Many neighborhood centers –Close access to centers throughout the Vistas

Scenario S: Enhanced Network 7 Bus corridors Within ½ mile of transit: –30% Households –47% Jobs +19% +28%

Scenario X: Basecase

Scenario X Land Use Parameters Half the housing units and jobs of Scenario A –202,500 Housing Units 80% single family housing Averaging about ~6 dwelling units per net acre (3-4 per gross), similar to single family prevalent in the Gold Canyon and San Tan Valley areas –150,000 Jobs Primarily strip commercial with some office Retail and employment centers located at freeway and arterial intersections Small amount of multi-family located around interchanges and employment centers Less environmental sensitivity and open space –More encroachment into washes –Development on slopes –Fewer parks, more golf courses

Scenario X Transportation Parameters No regional transit, limited local transit Freeways built as planned Highway 60 and 79 expanded to 6 lane expressways, but with surface intersections Extension of existing major arterials –Follow conventional arterial pattern of one arterial per mile (use section lines)
