Summary Paper - Lake Worth Station Area "Charrette"

You might remember many posts about the Transit Oriented Development charrette that was held in Lake Worth as part of the Rail-Volution Conference. A team of experts attending this national conference made their way to Lake Worth and focused on the area around our existing Tri-Rail station. The final report has been issued now. I have posted it on a companion website that you can reach by clicking here. Like this blog, you can click on the images and make them larger for easier reading. Since these are jpeg files, you might have to click on them once more when they appear in the new window. I also have a copy of the "Summary Paper" in pdf format, which would be easy to save on your own hard drive and likely be easier to read. If you would like your own copy, I can e-mail one to you. Just let me know through an e-mail to wesblackman@gmail.com.

As I have said before, we were very fortunate to have a group of highly talented and trained professionals in the field of mass transit visit and study a portion of our City. This work ties in nicely with the Master Plan that is in the final stages of completion. It is also consistent with our City's focus on smart growth and green building techniques.
