MLU-3.5bFocus new development in areas that will allow residents, employees and visitors to safely, conveniently, and enjoyable travel as a pedestrian, or by biking, or transit, such as in Transit Priority Areas (TPAs), and areas of the City with the lowest amount of vehicular travel.

This is a key focus of the City Planning Department's ongoing work on community plan updates and is a primary goal of the  Blueprint SD initiative. Blueprint SD uses the latest data to identify areas for more homes and jobs, making sure they're close to convenient and affordable options for walking, biking, and using public transit for daily needs like work, school, or shopping. This updated growth strategy, or "blueprint," has refreshed the General Plan, which provides overall direction for growth.
