Transit Oriented Design Citizen's Guide

As part of our case study of Bee Ridge, our committee worked with a sociology class from New College of Florida. One of their tasks was to write a Citizen's Guide with information about smart growth and sustainable development. We are happy to share the Guide with you below.

Sections include:

• Existing conditions along Bee Ridge Road and the current framework of policy and
  development that have helped to create them.
• Possible alternatives for re-development along Bee Ridge, including plans for mixed-use, walkable neighborhoods.
• The importance of planning and the methods to create thriving economic destinations and vital community spaces.
• Case studies of comparable regions that have successfully implemented transit based redevelopment.
