Uniting Along Division Street

The Division Street TOD Project aims to make the most of our community's upcoming investment in public transit by encouraging accessible, mixed-use communities within close proximity to high-frequency transit stations.

TOD Project Purpose and Scope:

With a vision of a corridor-wide Transit-Oriented Development framework, this project provides station-specific economic analysis, land-use recommendations, multi-modal guidance to support long-term economic resiliency and employment along Division Street.

This project aligns local communities and government agencies to create a common vision for the next generation of development along Division Street.

Why Division Street?

Division Street connects neighborhoods, businesses, and schools while serving as a critical transit route. STA’s Route 25 hosts almost a million people each year, and the corridor currently sees 50,000 cars per day. With the opening of the North Spokane Corridor taking Division Street's place as the primary north-south freeway, this plan reimagines options for the corridor.

This study evaluates the potential for Division Street to become a model for transit-oriented development within Spokane.

What is Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)?

Transit-Oriented Development, or TOD, encourages walkable mixed-use communities centered around public transit. TOD fosters neighborhoods where people can live, work, shop, and access services within walking distance of transit options.

The Division Street TOD Project aims to:

• Enhance Mobility
  • Improve connections between neighborhoods, transit stops, and key destinations along Division Street. This includes better sidewalks, bike lanes, and safe crossings.

• Support Infill Development
  • Encourage a mix of residential, retail, and office spaces to serve the diverse needs of the community.

• Create Inviting and Safe Public Spaces
  • Design and activate spaces where people can gather, relax, and interact. Adding parks, plazas, and tree-lined streets will enhance community connections and contribute to a vibrant public gathering space.
