Station Case Study:<br />
Hiawatha and Lake Street Station<br />
Minneapolis, Minnesota<br />
Hi-Lake Station is a relatively new <strong>station</strong><br />
on <strong>the</strong> Hiawatha line in Minneapolis.<br />
This <strong>station</strong> was introduced into an<br />
automobile dominated environment<br />
with a mix <strong>of</strong> existing retail, institutional<br />
and residential uses. Although <strong>station</strong><br />
area planning for TOD was in place and<br />
development and investment have occurred<br />
around <strong>the</strong> <strong>station</strong>, a lack <strong>of</strong> coordinated<br />
implementation and investment in <strong>the</strong><br />
surrounding streetscape and pedestrian<br />
realm has limited <strong>the</strong> success <strong>of</strong> this<br />
particular TOD.<br />
Hi-Lake underscores <strong>the</strong> need for coordination<br />
between <strong>station</strong> design, pedestrian and bicycle<br />
infrastructure investment and appropriate<br />
mixed use development.<br />
