*********************************************************************
The Bergamot Area Plan is a focused planning
effort intended to give voice to community
preferences for land uses, circulation networks,
infrastructure, parking strategies, and design
of buildings in the mixed-use, transit-oriented
Bergamot area. The Plan is partially funded by a
HUD Community Challenges grant encouraging
compact, mixed-use development linked to
transit.
The below map depicts the project area, which
includes 140 acres of land in four proposed land use
districts: The Bergamot Transit Village, the
Mixed-Use Creative District, the Conservation -
Creative Sector District, and the Conservation -
Art Center District.
The Bergamot Area Plan is partially
funded by a federal Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) planning grant. This
grant is intended to fund planning efforts that
encourage compact, mixed-use and
transit-oriented development that includes
affordable housing, jobs and community services
in ways that reduce vehicle dependence and
greenhouse gas emissions. For more information
