Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>The Livable Corridors are arterial roadways that enhance the connection between transit and land use. As part of the Priority Growth Areas in SCAG’s Connect SoCal, the Livable Corridor strategy encourages local jurisdictions to plan and zone for increased density at nodes along key corridors, and to “redevelop” single– story under–performing retail with well–designed, higher density housing and employment centers. Growth at strategic nodes along key corridors, many of which are within HQTAs, will make transit a more convenient and viable option. The Livable Corridors strategy is comprised of three components that will encourage context sensitive density, improve retail performance, combat disinvestment, and improve fiscal outcomes for local communities: </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>1. Transit improvements: Some corridors have been identified as candidates for on–street, dedicated lane Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or semi–dedicated “BRT–lite” transit. Other corridors have the potential to support features that improve the user experience and bus performance, including enhanced bus shelters, real–time travel information, off–bus ticketing, all–door boarding and longer distances between stops to increase speeds. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>2. Active transportation improvements: Increased investments in Complete Streets within Livable Corridors and intersecting arterials are essential to support safe bicycling and walking. Investments should include protected lanes to encourage safe bicycling and lower speed mobility, improved pedestrian access and bicycle and micro-mobility parking. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>3. Land use policies: Mixed–use retail centers at key nodes along Livable Corridors are essential, as is increasing neighborhood–oriented retail at intersections, and flexible zoning that allows for the replacement of under–performing auto–oriented retail. </SPAN></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN /></P><P STYLE="margin:0 0 0 0;"><SPAN>PLEASE NOTE This data is intended for planning purposes only, and SCAG shall incur no responsibility or liability as to the completeness, timeliness, or accuracy of this information.
