Summary:
This report presents results from surveys of residents at several transit-oriented developments (TODs) in the cities of Portland and Gresham, along the MAX blue line between downtown Portland and Gresham. The research complements survey work done in 2005 at sites near three MAX stations in Hillsboro and Beaverton (west of downtown) and the Merrick apartments near the Convention Center in Portland....
This report presents results from surveys of residents at several transit-oriented developments (TODs) in the cities of Portland and Gresham, along the MAX blue line between downtown Portland and Gresham. The research complements survey work done in 2005 at sites near three MAX stations in Hillsboro and Beaverton (west of downtown) and the Merrick apartments near the Convention Center in Portland. Results from those surveys are in a May 2006 report, Travel and Transit Use at Portland Area Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) available at http://www.transnow.org/publication/final-reports/documents/TNW2006-03.pdf.
The TODs included in this study are shown in Table 1, with pictures following. All of the TODs are within one-quarter mile (straight line) distance, with several being adjacent to the MAX station. Maps of each station area and TOD locations are included in the Appendix. All of the developments are higher density than surrounding residential areas, though they were not high density; the buildings were all 2-4 stories. All of the developments included parking for residents, though at a lower number per dwelling unit than found in many suburban multifamily housing developments.
