The market demand had only recently picked up. 6 store on Penn Avenue which recently opened in the summer of 2011. Redevelopment of the former Nabisco bakery on Penn Avenue into the mixeduse Bakery Square continued this momentum. New higher quality mixedincome rental and affordable housing projects commenced alongside the commercial revitalization led by the efforts of ELDI, the URS and The Community Builders. In a little over a decade, 1,400 public housing units within three high rise structures – Liberty Park, East Mall Tower and Penn Major TOD development opportunities in relation to the redesigned station Circle Apartments – have been replaced with 450 new mixed-income units. While many affordable housing units were created by 2010, much of this new development only included small amounts of market rate/affordable market rate rentals. Especially limited are new single family detached units. Within each core residential area of each neighborhood, over 30% of the housing stock was built before 1940. The focus on rental housing in East Liberty has somewhat detracted from the development of for-sale units where In an attempt to continue the momentum of significant renewal efforts within the study area, the latest planning strategy focuses on TOD as the preferred alternative to reverse decades of auto dependent development. TOD is a method for organizing relatively compact, high density mixed-use development around transit as a means of encouraging transit use and creating more efficient and sustainable land use patterns. More than simply a project next to a train station, it represents the creation of a walkable, active and beautiful place centered-around transit access at a human scale. The approach aims to create healthy, connected neighborhoods with integration between the station and the surrounding community. TOD provided a synergy between economic, land use, transportation, environmental, housing and social equity goals. By facilitating public transit use, this development type can reduce dependence on fossil fuels, lower residents’ transportation costs, ease congestion, improve safety, promote walking/health and
and improve environmental quality. It can also be a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization through new investments as residents are better connected to jobs, commercial activity and services. Proposed TRID Boundary & Phasing Years 1 - 5 Years 5 - 10 Years 10 + N Negley Ave Penn Circle W Penn Circle N East Liberty’s renaissance through TOD will be centered around direct access to the PAAC MLK East Busway. The local station lies at the heart of the elTRID study area. Both the station itself and the sites immediately adjacent to it are prime candidates for TOD. Combined with other potential sites within a short walk of the station, tremendous redevelopment opportunities exist in the neighborhood. The elTRID study area is defined by the half-mil radius around the station platforms and further refined to the 5 & 10 minute walking distance as an even more accurate measure of TOD potential. All of the East Liberty business district sites within this station pedestrian shed, with much of it within a five minute walk from the platform. The ten minute walking-shed extends well into Shadyside and to the edges of East Liberty into Larimer. Connections to Downtown Pittsburgh are provided by the busway with additional strong transit service to Oakland, the city’s university and medical hub.
