City of Lexington, NC Multi-Modal Transportation Station Area Plan
In 2010, the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the City of Lexington, NC a TIGER grant to prepare a Multi-Modal Transportation Station Area Plan (SAP) for the City’s Depot District:
The purpose of the Project is to develop a multi-modal facility to serve the community’s transportation needs and induce redevelopment within the Depot District to further revitalize the City’s uptown area. As a multi-modal facility, the Project will serve passenger rail, local and regional transit services, taxi, bicycle, and pedestrian networks. As a community resource, the Project will create an anchor for redevelopment and economic revitalization of the Depot District by transforming a vacant and dormant warehouse district into a viable mixed-use activity center.
The project outcomes will be a SAP, including final engineering plans and a final environmental analysis document for: (1) a new Passenger Station Building; (2) necessary adjacent railroad improvements; and (3) nearby sidewalk and bicycle streetscape improvements. FRA and the City have signed an Environmental Assessment (EA), which will be available for 30 days for public review and comment. The EA and instructions for submitting comments can be found here.
