The SCYTHE evaluation ranks subway stations based on factors beneficial for transit-oriented development. Key criteria include population density near the station, travel times to Midtown, and proximity to low-density zoning areas. Stations serving lower populations are prioritized to enhance neighborhood density, which alleviates road congestion. Shorter commutes lead to greater convenience for residents, and building in low-density neighborhoods promotes living in areas with adequate amenities rather than less ideal locations. The approach aims to create efficient housing solutions that align with transit accessibility and community well-being.
Streetsblog analyzed the potential for transit-oriented development at outer borough stations ripe for increased neighborhood density, focusing on population, travel time, and zoning.
