How does the Modern Streetcar affect land use and land use planning?
In the Albuquerque area, the Modern Streetcar will encourage people to live more centrally which has the potential to increase infill. Also, fixed transit systems with good land use policy have shown to reduce demand for driving by creating more compact, efficient forms of development that are pedestrian friendly. Such systems also lead to the development of exciting urban environments where services, ie. live, work, play, are located closer together.
