Tri-Creek Greenway Phase Three Focal Area

Arterial streets are challenging to walk and bike on, along, or even across.  Without convenient, low-stress crossings, arterial streets discourage walking and biking by creating barriers between origins and destinations.  The Phase Three Focal Area is bordered by Kanis Road to the north, Baseline to the south, University Ave. to the east and John Barrow Rd. and Stagecoach Rd. to the west (Fig. 1).  This area holds approximately XXXX residents and XXXX households (see "Demographics" below).

Without the Tri-Creek Greenway, arterial streets and creeks within the Phase Three Focal Area divides it into seven disconnected pockets challenging to move in between walking or biking (Fig. 2).

Demographics

Phase Three includes seven complete Census Block Groups and portions of three more Census Block Groups (Tables 1 and 2).  Because Census Block Groups tend to be divided by arterial streets, estimation of Phase Three five pockets is possible (Fig. 3). However, Census Block Groups are not always arranged as needed for this analysis; best estimates were made with the available data (Table 2).  Readers are encouraged to review the available data and how it was used to estimate demographics for the Phase Three Focal Area and its five pockets to better understand the limits of this interpretation (Table 3).
