Land Use andTransportationVisions
By 2040, the county will take a number of steps to support the land use and transportation visions:
■■
Advocating for land use
- although much of the county will remain relatively unchanged by 2040, other areas may see
significant changes. Important land use considerations include:
- Creating more walkable development around train stations
- Encouraging mixed use development in regional mixed use business centers
- Reinventing business and office parks
- Increasing the vibrancy of downtowns
- Limiting development in rural areas
- Diversifying retail commercial areas
- Providing a range of housing options
- Protecting existing neighborhoods, important historic properties, and vulnerable natural resources
■■
Improving transportation
- completing existing road and transit projects while finding ways to fund additional projects
are priorities for the county. Creating a more walkable landscape is also critically important.
In 2040, the
county will be
interconnected,
sustainable, and
vibrant.
