The Classen Corridor Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Plan is a community-driven effort to shape the future of the neighborhoods and business districts along the Classen Boulevard corridor. Centered around the new RAPID NW transit line, the plan aims to create safer, more walkable streets, expand access to housing options, support local businesses, and enhance the everyday experience of the people who live and work in the area.

Every comment and idea helps shape the vision, ensuring the final plan reflects the needs and priorities of the people who know the corridor best.
