The emphasis is on solid urban form and building community b encouraging a more compact mix of uses in the neighborhoods. Streei and roads are exarnined as pathways for people, not just cars. TN approach abandons the road-widening, reactive planning cycle for a moi deliberate, proactive one. DOVER, KOHL & PARTNERS 1 own planning After receiving a grant from the Transportation and Coinmunity an System Preservation Program (TCSP), Johnson City began a process t reintegatc land usc and transportation throughout the city. The city about 55,000 residents, which sits at the edge of eastern Tennessee, in long been a regional center for commerce and medical services. The di ! connect between transportation and land use, apparent in the post-wa rapid growth, has been increasing steadily in Johnson City.

The overall size is about a 1/4 mile radius (or five minute walk). This allows many uses to be located within walking distance of residences. Different areas in the neighborhood are based on intensity. A mix of uses is encouraged. Streets and blocks are scaled to facilitate walking and biking. Buildings are oriented to the street, with doors arid windows facing it. Public green space serves as community gathering places. Special sites are The approach used in Johnson City began with a public process known as a "char - rette." In February of 2006, Dover, K & Partners along with Z1-IA and Glattin Jackson, stayed on -site in Johnson City,` -' meeting with community members, devel- opers, and city staff. This intense briefing session lasted over week and during this time, the charrette team was able to gain much local knowl- edge. Initial ideas were presented at the end of the week to the community. For the next year, the team worked at their home offices, refining ideas and concepts, even- tually creating Connecting Johnson City: the Land Use and Transportation Plan. The images on these pages are excerpted from that plan and comprise the basic con cepts and ideas that form it The plan seeks to reintegrate the often disconnected land use and transportation with images, site plans, and policy changes. Redevelopment of key sites can be a cru- cial first step. Real life, built examples send a signal to the community that the ideals that they helped create during the charrette process will become reality. The concepts for these specific areas can be used as transferable prototypes The Armory site (left) is located near a medical center and the Veterans Administration. The new site plan and ren dering show how the concepts of mixed- use and walkable streets can be applied to a brownfield site. Center - mix of uses including housing an neighborhood stores Great Public Places Streets Are Transformed Fa'r • ' y q t e. 9•: a • l 11 cY� '• ..� • Great public places, such as parks are pla7ns, are an important part of civic life. Johnson Citians have a fair amount of community and regional parks, but many residents do not have a small neighborhood park within walking distance. New parks downtown (left) and as part of the converted South Roan Shopping Center (above) are key. Fi s % `, � ,4:..73 Walnut Street is ' r ^ .` 4 one of the oldest streets in Johnson e 4 City. Road widen - ings solely aimed at improving auto- mobile traffic have left this comer devoid of any real sense of place. A modest step in redevelopment can begin by adding on- street parking, widening the side- walks, and adding street trees at the sidewalk edge. But this transportation improvement is only the first step. When land use changes by con- structing buildings at the street edge, the long term view shows a great transformation of the corner. Ground floor retail adds to the pedestrian experience. Johnson.
