30 State Center Transit Oriented Development Strategy Development Concept
Existing light-rail service Metro platform MTA bus Development Concept • Order is created at the intersection of North Howard Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard by widening the block of Chase Street between Howard Street and Park Avenue to accommodate two-way traffic and then eliminating the oneway westbound segment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd. east of Howard Street. This will allow for a more organized traffic flow and better pedestrian crossing supporting revitalization of North Howard Street as a pedestrian-oriented boulevard connecting to the Cultural Core. Transit The concentration of land uses in the core of the Eutaw District will be within easy walking distance of the Cultural Center and State Center rail transit stations, as well as several bus lines, making transit a viable option for residents and visitors to the district. Not only do the land uses and street network facilitate the ease of using transit, but the existing stations will be enhanced to ensure that people have a safe, efficient and pleasant experience. The Metro station will be an architectural jewel set in the dynamic Plaza ‘D Art heightening the sense of arrival for transit users arriving, departing, or transferring to one of the many transit routes that converge here. The Cultural Center LRT stop will be reconstructed as a full-fledged station noted for its innovative design. The stations will appeal not only to the eye, but to all of the senses: they will be tactile, auditory and fully accessible to persons with disabilities. They will become the gateways to this new and dynamic destination. Together, the increased walkability of the district and the welcoming design of the transit stations should entice new visitors to use the transit system and encourage continued use for repeat trips to and from the district.
