MCCRIMMON STATION AREA
The
McCrimmon Transit Small Area Plan
supports the goals and policies of the Town’s
community-wide Land Use and Transportation Plans in the following ways:
1.
It promotes
livability
by supporting the creation of a new and increasingly popular transportation and
lifestyle option in the community.
2.
It supports an
environmentally friendly and energy efficient community
by creating less-polluting
travel choices, such as walking and transit, and providing more energy efficient development, such as
multi-family housing in near proximity to shopping, offices, and premium transit options.
3.
It fosters a
sense of place
through the use of high-quality design principles and the creation of vibrant
public spaces.
4.
It promotes
lifecycle housing
by integrating workforce housing into the development design, combining
this with affordable transit service.
5.
It improves
transportation mobility
by supporting the expansion of transportation options available to
Morrisville residents and area workers.
6.
It promotes
infill development
and environmental quality by promoting redevelopment of a
brownfields site.
7.
It supports the
elderly, the young, and those with disabilities
by creating centers of activity that are
accessible on foot and by transit.
8.
It
enhances economic competitiveness
by creating a focal point for high-quality new development,
and by supporting new travel options near major employment and educational facilities including
Perimeter Park, Lenovo, and the planned technology campus for Wake Technical Community College.
In these ways, the Plan helps lay the foundation for more sustainable lifestyles and investments that advance
Morrisville’s community vision.
