Site Area Description
Substantial commercial retail development is located along NE 6th Avenue, Dixie Highway, and NE 125th Street in this area. The adjacent areas include multifamily and some-single family residential development. Most commercial businesses are located at the sidewalk edge interspersed with some small surface parking spaces and lots. A few businesses have moderate setbacks with some limited surface parking between the building and the sidewalk. The site is served by bus routes 9, 10, 16, 75, and G, but is not located along any of the planned rapid transit corridors. Household density is moderate, in the 3.5 to 7.0 per acre range. However, one zone located along Dixie Highway southwest of the intermodal site exceeds 7.0 households per acre. Employment densities are generally low to moderate, in the 12.5 to 25 employees per acre range. There are no vacant parcels, underutilized properties, or visible ongoing development activities in the area adjacent to the site.
