Climate-Friendly Areas Evaluation Report

10Has existing development and huge gaps in development, so there are opportunities to make this area denser and easier for residents to access and use via active transportation if there were more housing and development. Its location close to downtown and a freeway exit/entrance also make it really attractive as an accessible area, as does its proximity to Phoenix. 4It is not as adjacent to shopping centers and its distance from downtown and the freeway make it less attractive as an area that could support residents who seek to solely use active transportation. It is an advantage that it is near to Asante, and might take some pressure off Barnett, which sees far too much traffic to feel safe or accessible for active transportation users. 9Developing this area would help to provide more equitable resources to parts of our community that are under-served and most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.
