The purpose of Task 5.3 will be to prepare concept plans for the LRT <br /> station areas, within a %:-mile radius of the proposed stations, to identify potential improvements <br /> needed to pedestrian and bicyclist access paths to the LRT stations. The concepts will identify potential <br /> improvements such as the need for new paths, replacement of existing broken or damaged path <br /> pavement, path system bridges or underpasses, or installation of lighting and other amenities for safety <br /> and security.Although these recommended path system improvements may not be directly a part of the <br /> LRT system development program, they will provide information to the communities around the LRT <br /> stations regarding what needs to be done in order to provide good access to the LRT stations. <br /> 6.3.1 lirnventory of Existing Path Conditions <br /> Conduct an inventory and assess the availability and the condition of the existing path systems within a <br /> -mile radius of the proposed LRT stations. <br /> 5m3.:7 Path Sywster n Concept Plans <br /> Prepare concept Path System Plans for each of the 17 LRT station areas that identify potential <br /> improvements or enhancements. <br /> 6.33 Path Systern lmprovement,'lechnlical IMernoirandunrn <br /> Summarize the findings and recommendations regarding Path System Improvements and Enhancements <br /> in a Technical Memorandum. <br /> Deliverables: <br /> Technical Memorandum that summarizes the recommendations for the path system <br /> improvements and enhancements at each of the 17 LRT stations. <br /> 6.4 Station Area Tli°ainsllt°Oriented IDeveiolpmennot (TOD) Concepts <br /> Another extremely important feature of successful transit systems is conveniently-located and well- <br /> developed TODs. TODs not only locate more users closer to the transit system stations, which makes it <br /> convenient for more people to use the transit system, but they also provide conveniences to the transit <br /> users. The purpose of Task 5.4 will be to prepare preliminary concept plans or ideas of the potential for <br /> TODs around selected LRT stations, in order to start the process by the communities of TOD planning <br /> and implementation. Not all LRT stations, especially the ones in totally built-up areas, may lend <br /> themselves to TOD implementation. <br /> .4.1. Identification of Potential TO[) Slices <br /> Using the TOD documents prepared during the AA the URS team will conduct an inventory and assess <br /> the availability and potential of sites within a %-mile radius of the LRT stations that may lend themselves <br /> to TOD uses. The effort will also determine the type and density of development appropriate at <br /> particular stations. <br /> Durlharmi-Oiran e Light I ad "dean ft Project � , uine 201.3 li ,,5 DRAFT' <br />
