82 back into two-way traffic in 2003 and 2011, Penn Circle West and North remain as sections of high-speed one-way street dividing the core of East Liberty from the surrounding neighborhoods. Converting the remaining sections of Penn Circle to two-way traffic is essential for the implementation of the residential housing strategy envisioned for the western edge of the neighborhood in the community plan. The conversion will also diversify the available routes for PM peak traffic and relieve pressure from the segment of Penn Ave between Penn Circle South and Shady Avenue adjacent to the station. Town Square Streetscape Another key public realm improvement for East Liberty is the Town Square project to improve the streetscapes and facades in the core of the retail district. The Town Square masterplan proposes minor street alterations and significant streetscape improvements in the blocks surrounding East Liberty Presbyterian Church. Larimer Avenue Park A final major infrastructure improvement is the creation of a new park along Larimer Avenue to the north of the station. This park proposed in the Larimer Vision Plan, will create a new green address for continued residential development along Larimer Avenue. The park is also a key element in the larger green infrastructure strategy for East Liberty, creating a series of rain gardens for the collection of stormwater. Penn Circle West Penn Circle North Broad Street Broad Street 2-Way Conversion & Broad Street Plaza Like Penn Circle, Broad Street has also been identified a candidate for conversion from one-way to two-way traffic to support Broad street’s revitalization a secondary commercial street. The plan includes changes to the cartway as well as streetscape improvements and a plaza at Broad Street and Highland Avenue. Town Square Masterplan - Semple Brown Design The plan calls for new sidewalks, street trees and landscape, lighting, and street furniture, as well as special paving and new pavilions in key locations. In addition key development and renovation opportunities in this area are recommended. The town square will from the centerpiece of East Liberty’s public realm, and is essential to the community vision for a revitalized mixed-use district. The masterplan’s proposed streetscape improvements for Penn Avenue would connect to the new pedestrian routes proposed for the station in this study, creating a seamless high-quality public realm leading form the station platform to the center of the neighborhood.

TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT SITE IMPROVEMENT NEEDS Some of the largest sites for future transitoriented development are currently organized as large super blocks lacking internal site circulation or utilities. In order for these sites to be developed with a mix of uses including housing, these larger sites will require substantial infrastructure improvements. Needs will include new streets and sidewalks, new street lighting, new on-site utilities, and new parking both surface and in some cases structured. In most cases these sites are superblocks resulting from the Urban Renewal era reorganization of East Liberty’s streets. Creating a finer grain network of circulation on these sites for pedestrians bicycles and cars is essential to allow them to be redeveloped in a mix-use pedestrian oriented manner consistent with TOD principles. Eastside III Mellon’s Orchard Bakery Square II Larimer Ave. Housing Major TOD Sites The design creates an internal street along the railroad and busway edge ensuring that routes to the station are accessible and visible from key intersections in East Liberty. The deck also creates a new shared two-level parking reserve supporting the mixeduse Eastside development. The proposed new station pedestrian bridge is designed to connect to the pedestrian sidewalks through Eastside. The upper level deck and pedestrian realm of Eastside are essential to connections to East Liberty Station that will help maximize the impact of the TOD in the larger district. 83 A private development site of particular importance to the station is the Eastside III project adjacent to the station. The current proposal for Eastside II, developed in conjunction with the proposed station design, creates a continuous upper level deck at the elevation of the new station pedestrian bridge and Penn and Highland Avenues. This new “ground plane” allows direct pedestrian routes to the station through the development block from the Penn, Highland and Penn Circle South.
