MCCRIMMON STATION AREA
Vision |
7
As a result, Morrisville’s 2009 community-wide
Land Use and Transportation Plans include goals
and policies to integrate land use and transportation
planning, and support walkable, mixed-use
development around planned transit stations (see full
range of applicable goals and policies on page 8).The
plans also identify the intersection of McCrimmon
Parkway and NC 54 as a suitable location for a
potential transit station, establish general parameters
for transit-oriented development, and call for a more
detailed study of how to redevelop land around
the McCrimmon Parkway-NC 54 intersection for
transit-oriented development.
In 2011, the Town Council passed a resolution
strongly supporting the McCrimmon Parkway
transit station and the concept of transit-oriented
development in this location (Resolution 2011-095).
This
McCrimmon Transit Small Area Plan
implements
the goals of the adopted
Land Use and Transportation
Plans
and establishes a more detailed policy
framework for how transit-oriented development
should occur in this location. In so doing, it describes
a vision for a vibrant activity center in northern
Morrisville that is connected to high-quality transit
service and linked by safe pedestrian connections to
surrounding neighborhoods and businesses.
