Q1. Percentage of disabled households in the Census block group surrounding the project. If the project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST percentage of disabled households.

Q2. Percentage of low income households are there in the Census block group surrounding of the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST percentage of low income households.

Q3. Percentage of residents are over age 65 in the Census block group surrounding the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST percentage of residents over age 65.

Q4. Percentage of residents are under age 18 in the Census block group surrounding the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST percentage of residents under age 18.

Q5. Average net residential density in the block group around the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST residential density.

Q6. Mean retail FAR in the block group around the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST mean retail FAR.

Q7. Land use mix in the block group around the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST level of land use mix.

Q8. The intersection density/ sq mile in the block group around the project. If project spans more than one block group, score the block group with the HIGHEST intersection density.

Q9. Is all or part of the project in an area with a pedestrian-oriented street environment OR where the building codes support the future development of such a street environment? (buildings close to the street, windows, awnings and a high level of detail, street trees/ landscaping, etc.)

TOTAL Score

Case study: The projects that scored the highest in these categories – reflecting a high level of potential demand—crossed through areas with relatively high land use mix and residential density, as well as areas with a greater percentage of youth, elderly and low income populations (populations that tend to have a higher dependence on non-motorized transport). Project #2, 1st Ave S (between 320th and 344th St), Project #6, along 14th Ave S (north of 320th), and Project #11, along 320th (between 1st Ave S and 11th/14th Ave S), scored the highest based on the criteria in this section.
