34 East Liberty & the TOD principles As previously stated East Liberty Station already has many of the qualities desirable for TOD, but it also has factors that limit the its current functionality as a TOD and are barriers to future transit-oriented development. 3. Create walkable places for people. Walkability around the station varies radically from one edge of the station to another. In part this is due to the recent reconstruction efforts along Penn Circle which brought the standard of the pedestrian environment to up to a very high standard through new streetscape improvements. The diversity of conditions in visible in the diagram on the next page and in the images below. The station itself could also be improved in the future with improved landscape, lighting and seating elements. 1. Maximize location efficiency The area around the station is already very mixed use, providing a range of housing choices and employment opportunities. It’s location in the middle of the east end plateau, means that numerous neighborhoods flow into direct connections making it a natural center for the eastern end of the city. Density varies around the station and in some directions particularly to the east, there are opportunities to increase the residential densities which are well below the desirable level for a Mixed- Use Urban Center station in some parts of the station area. A New Penn Avenue Streetscape C Penn & Shady Intersection 2. Build a mix of housing choices and complimentary uses C F As previously stated the land use around the station is already quite diverse, however there are opportunities to increase housing density and choice in the station area. Although higher density housing in the form of low-income high-rise tower was recently removed from East Liberty, looking to mid-rise residential buildings on some sites to the east of the station may be an appropriate future TOD strategy.
