EXISTING LAND USE

A key component to transit success is its incorporation with land use and land use planning. Key land use principles discussed included: • Transit currently serves most of the City’s key activity centers - The Factory - Downtown Franklin - The Williamson Medical Center and surrounding medical facilities including: Rolling Hills Hospital, Vanderbilt Children’s Clinic and numerous specialty surgical and medical facilities - Parkway Commons - Cool Springs Galleria • Land use planning and approvals can better incorporate transit planning (such as the Westhaven development); a lack of planning has created developments that warrant but lack transit
