  11. Economic Analysis 10-minute Drive Contour Primary Market Area (PMA) W. 25th Street Station (TOD site) 0.25-mile radius Cleveland Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) Regional Study Areas W. 25th Street Station (TOD site) 0.25-mile radius Little Italy-Univ. Circle RTS 0.25-mile radius Shaker Square Station 0.25-mile radius TOD Comparison Study Areas Source: US Census Bureau; Esri; 4ward Planning LLC, 2012

  12. Economics & Density Primary market area • 5-mile radius • 10-minute drive • Will support 14,000-18,000 new residential dwelling units within next 10 years TOD area • 10% of primary market area • Will support 1,400-1,800 new dwelling units • Propose build-out density that fits on site and is consistent with neighborhood character.

  13. W25th TOD Study Components • RTA Station Area Enhancements • Roadway Reconfiguration & Streetscape • West Side Market Parking • Land Use and Redevelopment • Market Square Shopping Center Redevelopment • Infill Development/Redevelopment

  14. Station Area Enhancements STATION ACCESS • Reconfigure kiss-n-ride as ped plaza • Enhance bus/rail transfer and links to adjacent transit stops • Extend pedestrian connection to/from station south to Abbey and west to W.24th St with covered walkways • Provide streetscape amenities • Provide bike parking STATION PLATFORM • Landscape area west of RTA tracks, hillside • Red Line Greenway coordination

  15. Enhance bus/rail transfer, (#81, #51, Red Line Station) • Station relocations (#51 and #81) on Lorain, W.25th St and collocated with Red Line Stn • Reconfigure kiss-n-ride area • Gehring closed: Shift #51 to Lorain- W.25th St, stop on W.25th south of Lorain • Gehring open: Could reroute #51 off Gehring to enhance ped environment • Traffic operations must function acceptably at W.25th/Lorain intersection • Bus movement (WB left) LOS D or better at W.25th/Lorain • Provide parallel parking (on-street) if Gehring is open and #51 remains on Gehring Station Area Operations

  16. Station Area Enhancements

  17. Roadway Reconfiguration • Reduce width of Lorain Ave • Remove on-street parking • Reconfigure W.24th-Gehring/Lorain • Realign Gehring/Abbey • Extend L-C Bikeway • Streetscape & green street

  19. Imagining Green Space

  20. Concept A – Close Gehring

  21. Concept B – Gehring as Neighborhood Street

  22. Columbus Rd Townhomes

  23. W25th TOD Study Results • New station is not needed • Walkability is critically important for station access • Kiss-and-Ride is not needed and can be redeveloped as pedestrian area • Gehring can remain open or be closed (RTA perspective)

  24. Next Steps Moving forward into the next phase RTA Actions • Station Clean and Safe (maintenance) • Market RTA land for joint development • Implement RTA station enhancements • Fund raising (grants, etc.) Actions by Others • Traffic study: Evaluate Gehring closure • Roadway reconfiguration and streetscape • Redesign West Side Market parking area • Move forward with Market Square redevelopment plans • Move forward with redevelopment plans • Fund raising (grants, etc.)

  25. Post-Study Progress • Moving forward into the next phase • Ohio City grant (received) • $25,000 from Enterprise Community Partners • Clarify plan to advance development potential • Ohio City partnership with DAY Enterprises • Redevelopment of Market Square Shopping Center
