High quality rapid transit systems have been shown to increase property values in
their vicinity as these properties become "location efficient".
More Information [2]
The investment in high quality rapid transit tends to attract future residential and
business development along its path; it has a positive influence on land development
and promotes more efficient land use.
A well designed rapid transit system creates more location options for people moving
into the city or relocating - options that do not require the use of a motor vehicle.
"High quality light rail vehicles may offer on-street service in some areas
before branching off onto private right-of-ways to deliver rapid transit to
outlying areas."

The Transportation Master Plan [TMP] sets the construction of a light rail
transit extension to Heritage as a priority for the next ten years!
