It included a vision statement in its 2005 <br /> Comprehensive Plan. The opportunity now exists to build on this vision toward ideas that will <br /> incentivize development and move the area toward becoming a genuine transit oriented <br /> neighborhood. A broadly endorsed vision will enhance opportunities for zoning decisions, <br /> development incentives,pilot projects and investments that work toward achieving the vision. <br /> The Everett Station District Alliance began meeting in June 2014 and formed as an organization <br /> in January 2015. Its purpose is to contribute ideas for stimulating the development of a vibrant <br /> community in the Station area. <br /> Our-Vision <br /> Residential units, located over ground-level businesses,will have a significant <br /> presence near the transit station <br /> Pedestrian-friendly walkways and bicycle infrastructure will be easily <br /> accessible to the train and bus station <br /> Open space (pocket parks) for children, adults and seniors will be a safe, <br /> attractive and inviting feature of the neighborhood <br /> Friendly, attractive, safe, walkable connections up the hill to the Downtown <br /> Everett area will be valued and utilized by commuters, residents and <br /> employees in the station area. <br /> The ability to commute to and from work will incentivize significant job <br /> growth in proximity to the station. <br /> 133 <br />
