AICP A summary of a two-year study by the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission of seven station areas along a soon-to-be completed light rail line in southern New Jersey, connecting Camden to Trenton. A wide variety of recommendations include master plan and zoning changes, access and infrastructure improvements, funding options, and development opportunity areas. Each station area presents different challenges, from a depressed company town, to a bedroom community, to a strong central business district. Additional topics include the benefits of TOD, implementation barriers, and overall lessons learned.
