BIKE: Fwd: FYI: Transit-Oriented Development [COA developing ordinance]

[Eric Anderson]

We were just discussing Transit Oriented Development, increased density as
a tool toward combating sprawl, facilitating transit, creating a more
"livable city", and reducing auto trips and trip length.

Below is one opportunity to learn  more about innovative ideas being
considered here in Austin and offer your thoughts as City of Austin staff
develops a "Transit Oriented Development Ordinance".

Transit-Oriented Development is a "more compact, mixed-use development
near transit hubs that will serve housing, transportation and neighborhood
goals."
