Your post actually backs up what xtingon says. The guidelines for TOD are very generic in what you posted they don’t say anything about the height of buildings or the density or how far they should be space to park on the street treatment or anything really. I don’t even know why you posted this it only supports his argument.

The city's policies on TODs seem pretty clear to me.
Transit oriented development (TOD) is a walkable, mixed-use form of area development typically focused within a 600m radius of a primary transit station – a Light Rail Transit (LRT) station or Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stop. Higher density development is concentrated near the station to make transit convenient for more people and encourage ridership. This form of development uses existing infrastructure, optimizes use of the transit network and creates mobility options for transit riders and the local community. A successful TOD provides a mix of land uses and densities that create a convenient, interesting and vibrant community for local residents and visitors alike.

You're the one who shouldn't be debating this. You obviously have an agenda and you've been all over the map the entire day on where you stand. At one point shadowing was a major concern to you and then tonight you claimed it wasn't. You're throwing out every excuse you can think of to make this project look bad and failing miserably because you don't have any facts behind you. You claim you do but when asked to provide evidence you refuse to. |
