McCrimmon Transit Small Area Plan

TOWN OF MORRISVILLE

| TOD Concept Design

The images that follow illustrate some of the design

concepts that we used to help create a strong,

dynamic vision for the future of this area.

The design process hinged on both an internal

assessment of the McCrimmon station area, but

also gatherings of the public over three separate,

open meetings. An important meeting was where

the public viewed images of different kinds of

development and their placement across the station

area.The attendees used “instant polling” devices to

respond to these questions anonymously and so that

they could see the results in real-time.

Morrisville design staff worked with private

consultants to interpret these results and present

them use rendered graphics.This design was detailed

based on several operating principles:

Creating an inviting pedestrian & vehicular link

to the rail station

Creating a destination concentration of

restaurants

Putting parking to the rear of buildings

Having a retail anchor at the “hard” corner of

McCrimmon Parkway and Church Street

Creating an iconic social gathering place

energized by perimeter retail options and

amenities

Including high-density residential homes

Ensuring a mix of uses occurs that support TOD

Having a direct boulevard route to the

rail station

Transitioning the TOD project scale gently down

to the adjacent residential development patterns

Creating new connections to McCrimmon

Parkway and Church Street

Establishing an active street environment framed

by buildings

Creating publicly accessible open space, parks,

and trail connections

The following images illustrate the design concepts

that were derived from using all of this information.
