Project Context <br />The River Road Corridor Study <br />aimed to identify opportunity areas <br />on the River Road corridor where <br />the development of compact, transit - <br />oriented communities would be <br />stimulated by land use <br />recommendations and targeted <br />investments that support a high level <br />of access to reliable and frequent <br />transit service. The project evolved <br />over time to become more aligned <br />with the River Road -Santa Clara <br />neighborhood planning process, <br />which is further discussed in the next <br />section. The neighborhood planning <br />process emphasized community <br />members leading their own process <br />and as such, involved public <br />engagement and input that is <br />reflected in this Corridor Study. <br />The River Road Corridor Study <br />became a land use and <br />transportation strategy that <br />leverages the planned development <br />and multimodal investments along <br />the River Road corridor to support <br />neighborhood goals, encourage <br />development and economic vitality <br />and make transit and active modes <br />of transportation easier and more <br />attractive to use. The goals of the <br />project are to: <br />• Produce a data -supported <br />study of the physical <br />environment, development, <br />zonin code and economic <br />� <br />�.�� I <br />7j9 <br />lrVln� <br />���✓1�: - t � I N�nBaker I. <br />River 4v@ <br />1 I <br />I MaXwel! <br />r <br />Cipdne 1 <br />r � <br />� r <br />o � <br />I <br />0 <br />��!/llllllllry!llR�rypq/ �� . maSaa Key Map <br />g r <br />opportunities; Figure 1.
