    Twinbrook Sector Plan: A New Community in The Technology Corridor

    Uploaded by

    M-NCPPC
    The Twinbrook Sector Plan outlines a vision for redevelopment around the Twinbrook Metro station area. It divides the area into three districts - the Metro Core district near the station, a Technology Employment district, and a Light Industrial district. The plan proposes mixed-use, higher density development in the Metro Core to take advantage of the Metro access and establish a more pedestrian-friendly environment. The Technology Employment district would build on existing tech uses with street-oriented redevelopment. The Light Industrial district would focus redevelopment along Parklawn Street while maintaining industrial uses elsewhere. The plan also addresses transportation improvements, environmental benefits, and adding new parks and open spaces.
