Grand MetroLink Station TAP Report: A Case Study in Public-Private PartnershipsAPA Missouri ChapterSt. Louis, MO Public-private partnerships create connections, leverage resources, and serve as catalysts for action. In October 2012, Citizens for Modern Transit (CMT), a non-profit working to support and expand the Metrolink, and Metro Transit, the St. Louis Region’s public transportation agency, partnered with the Urban Land Institute (ULI) to explore development opportunities around the Grand MetroLink Station. Through the ULI’s Technical Assistance Program (TAP), a panel of experts worked with CMT and Metro to identify short- and long-term improvements for transit-oriented development around the station.
AICP level planners will learn planning and implementation strategies for transit-oriented development, the benefits of and opportunities for public-private partnerships, the impact of multi-modal transportation systems on economic development, strategies for enhancing pedestrian connectivity, and the impact of public infrastructure to catalyze private development.
