If our region is to grow sustainably and save farms and forests while improving access to jobs and opportunity, then converting strip commercial corridors into transit-oriented, walkable and bikeable neighborhoods is key. The study shows that there are acres of parking lots along the corridor that we could transform into mixed-use development along the Pulse Corridor.
It will be important to combine the Pulse BRT with wide sidewalks, well-marked and signalized crosswalks, medians, pedestrian-scale lighting, and bus shelters and benches to improve safety for everyone using the road.
