Abstract

This study, conducted jointly at Wayne State University (WSU) and the University of Detroit Mercy (UDM), develops transit-oriented development (TOD) programs around two selected stations along the planned light-rail transit (LRT) route in Metropolitan Detroit. This study identifies two transit stations along the Woodward Avenue corridor, proposes TOD packages for these sites, and identifies planning, economic, and institutional mechanisms for their effective implementation. The study integrates TOD with the planning and design of selected stations in the Detroit area, with the intent to maximize economic growth potential and to improve the quality of life of the citizens of the local communities and the users of the LRT facility.
