Creating equitable neighborhood development strengthened by walkable access to public transit.
The neighborhoods of the Prospect Corridor were originally developed in a compact, connected, and diverse manner. These attributes made the neighborhoods desirable, and the foundation of those attributes are still present. An equitable approach to redevelopment of the neighborhoods can leverage past investments while promoting new investment to recreate the compact, connected, and diverse places people desire.
