CONCEPT EVALUATION <br /> <br />• <br />LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Once a general approach to the future transportation patterns was agreed to, the <br />consulting team explored a range of concept alternatives for land use and local <br />transportation patterns. Since the land use patterns north of the rail road tracks were <br />not anticipated to change from the phase one plan, the following concepts address <br />land use, connectivity and transportation from the BNSF rail line, west across Highway <br />~o~i6g to the Mississippi River. The following are the four concept alternatives with <br />corresponding pros and cons for each: <br />CONCEPT ALTERNATIVE #1 <br />Pros <br />Continuous public access to the river <br />Increased housing options on the river <br />Broad open space connections <br />Prominent civic uses along the river <br />Cons <br />Transition of existing single family <br />neighborhood <br />Limited highway commercial uses at the <br />future interchange <br />
