CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES - CH.2
The settlement patterns of the Green Line corridor were analyzed against the desired patterns of TOD through a gap analysis approach. This resulted in the identification of five prototypical settlement patterns that reflect the different existing conditions within the corridor today and Prototypical Settlement Patterns
DOWNTOWN
provide context for how these areas could transform into more TOD-like patterns in the future. Five examples of different types of settlement patterns along the Green Line BRT corridor include: • Downtown – (FSCJ Downtown, Courthouse, LaVilla, & JRTC at LaVilla) located in a potentially high-density urban core area surrounded by very good pedestrian and transit oriented infrastructure and some urban scaled buildings. These areas require little change to the existing grid of streets and connections, but do require redevelopment and infill of more urban-scaled buildings. • UF Health/Shands Area – (UF Health/Shands, & VA Clinic) located in a potentially high-density urban area surrounded by good pedestrian and transit oriented infrastructure and some urban scaled buildings. These areas require little change to the existing grid of streets and connections, but do require redevelopment and infill of more urban-scaled buildings. • Gateway – (Gateway & Golfair) located in a moderately dense urban area with fair to good pedestrian and transit oriented infrastructure that has been interrupted by large-scale suburban development. It has potential for redevelopment. The area will require significant reintroduction of the street grid and new connections as well as redevelopment and infill of pedestrian oriented buildings. • Lake Forest & Riverview – located in a moderate to high-density suburban area with fair pedestrian and transit oriented infrastructure interrupted by small-scale suburban development. The areas have potential for redevelopment, thereby with the need to reconnect the grid and create new connections and strategically infill with more dense building footprints. • Capper-Armsdale – (Dunn Avenue) located in a potentially low to moderate-density suburban area with little to no pedestrian and transit oriented infrastructure that has been interrupted by moderately scaled suburban development with potential for redevelopment and infill, thereby requiring new connections.
