Since 2000, a number of tools for measuring the quality of the walking
environment have emerged. Generically called walking audit instruments, these
tools are now used by researchers, local governments, and community groups to measure physical features related to walkability, such as building setback, block length, and street and sidewalk width. Imageability The emphasis of the study is the promotion of human interaction through pedestrian and transit modes of transportation. Goals of the Project The primary goal of the project is to create a sense of community within the Transit-Oriented Development that will enrich pedestrian activity and encourage use among residents and transit riders. To accomplish this, the project will also meet city design guidelines and building criteria. The project will also emphasize transition between transportation areas and pedestrian areas to accommodate changes in pace and scale.
