AGENDA


1. Presentation: Transit-Oriented Development

Patrick Starr and Greta Milles, from the Pennsylvania Environmental Council (PEC), will discuss the Council's work on transit-oriented development (TOD). Specifically, they will discuss the development potential for TOD along SEPTA's proposed "Cross-County Metro" service in Montgomery County. Transit-oriented development can be defined as concentrated, higher density development located within one-half mile of public transit that has mixed uses, a pedestrian-friendly layout, a strong sense of "place" and public areas and open spaces.

Mary Bell, Senior Regional Planner, will distribute copies of DVRPC's Report on Homelessness, which Regional Housing Committee members reviewed in draft form earlier this year.

3. Information Item: Updates from Committee Members
