Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in Edmonton, Canada
Publication: Urban Public Transportation Systems 2013
Abstract
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) is a walkable, mixed use (residential, commercial, employment, etc.) form of development focused around a transit station. In Edmonton City, the capital of Alberta, only 14% people use public transit. By the year 2040, Edmonton's population is expected to reach 1.15 million. To accommodate this growth, the City of Edmonton is pursuing more sustainable development options, including TOD around existing and future LRT stations. In this paper an attempt has been made to evaluate the current development around 400 m of the existing LRT stations and determine the development principles for successful TOD with respect to other successful cities' TOD. However, not all LRT stations are functioning as a TOD, but creation of a complete neighborhood in which land uses are located according to market fundamentals with proper integration of pedestrian, bicycle, auto, and transit network can easily turn them into a successful TOD.
