The TRID Master Plan examined two existing transit stations that sit at the nexus between deteriorated, poverty-stricken communities and communities experiencing growth and investment. The plan's objectives include:
• Elevating the role of transportation in achieving Philadelphia's sustainability goals;
• Discouraging driving by promoting transit use and enhancing pedestrian and bicycle-oriented infrastructure
• Re-purposing outdated infrastructure for new uses;
• Creating new and enhanced connections between the stations and local destinations;
• Developing a phased approach to physically rebuilding the fabric around each station, incorporating higher densities and new park space.
