TransLink Transit-Oriented Communities Design Guidelines
Burnaby, BC
Nelson\Nygaard served as lead authors for Vancouver TransLink's Transit-Oriented Communities Design Guidelines. Based on best practices and research on the key factors that influence travel behavior, this document will serve as the agency's guidance to municipalities, developers and other stakeholders in Metro Vancouver, helping to guide development patterns, street networks, demand management policies, and other elements of community design in ways that will promote livability and support an efficient and cost-effective regional transit system.

WAVE Short Range Transit Plan
Wilmington, NC
Wave Transit's 2011 Short Range Transit Plan was designed to set the strategic direction for the transit system’s development over the next five years, assuming no net funding increase. Among the key challenges was the need to retain geographic coverage while balancing the need to provide a direct, consistent, and easily understandable route structure. Nelson\Nygaard and Hayes Planning conducted a detailed review of service needs and opportunities, using a combination of passenger surveys, stakeholder interviews, and route-by-route evaluations. The final service design balances straightening out many of the system's loops while retaining service coverage, strengthens the connection between downtown Wilmington and Forden Station, creates shorter travel times for many riders, and reduces service duplication. It is scheduled for implementation in the Fall 2012.

Borderline Neighborhood Shared
Streets Project
Santa Monica, CA
Santa Monica’s Borderline Street Design is one of the first shared space designs in the United States. The concept mixes all road users in a low-speed environment where physical cues guide driver behavior rather than traditional traffic signals, signs, markings and curbs. Longfellow Street is two blocks long and 40-feet wide; it lies one block from a major arterial and links the Borderline neighborhood’s retail corridor with Ozone Park, a treasured neighborhood resource in Santa Monica.

Capital TOD Study
Washington, DC
The District of Columbia's Office of Planning (DCOP) is working to maximize the value of transit-served areas and transform them into fully functioning Transit Oriented Developments (TOD). To assist DCOP, Nelson\Nygaard led a team of transportation, land use, and economic development planners in a study of 35 sites as a preliminary step toward establishing new TOD zoning standards that strike the right balance between a "one-size-fits-all" approach and a cumbersome series of TOD overlays. The sites were selected to represent the range of TOD opportunities across the District—sites with different characteristics that have yet to substantially achieve their TOD-potential.

San Francisco Better Streets Plan - Streetscape Design Services
San Francisco, CA
The City of San Francisco recognized the need to improve upon the sometimes ad hoc and conflicting policies regarding the design and management of diverse city streets that must accommodate multiple modes and serve multiple functions. For this reason, the City Design Group of the San Francisco Planning Department led a multidisciplinary city agency and consultant team effort to develop the Better Streets Plan.
Nelson\Nygaard supported Community
Design + Architecture on the technical street design work and led the innovative community outreach. The plan was adopted unanimously by the Board of Supervisors in December of 2010 and is already being implemented on projects throughout the City. CNU honored this project with a 2011 Charter Award.
