<strong>Station</strong> Re<strong>com</strong>mendations<br />

<strong>Station</strong> access re<strong>com</strong>mendations were developed in response to station needs. Like the needs<br />

identified in the previous section, <strong>Naylor</strong> <strong>Road</strong> <strong>Station</strong> access re<strong>com</strong>mendations are divided into<br />

two general categories:<br />

• Re<strong>com</strong>mendations based on deficiencies observed in the existing station area configuration<br />

that can be addressed either as part of or before TOD implementation, <strong>and</strong><br />

• TOD-based re<strong>com</strong>mendations, or those re<strong>com</strong>mendations tied to <strong>and</strong> made necessary by the<br />

expected redevelopment of the station area.<br />
