There were also a variety of small open <br /> spaces to be utilized for green space and recreational areas. The "big picture" concept <br /> behind Elk River Station is to promote transit-oriented development in response to the <br /> Northstar Corridor commuter parking lot and eventually rail. The residential units were <br /> comprised of 4 60-unit apartment buildings and back-to-back and row townhomes. <br /> The concept has been changed in order to reduce the amount of vehicle trips per day out of <br /> the site. The number of apartment buildings have been reduced to one, and more <br /> townhomes have been added. <br />
