It is my understanding that the plan is being p`repazed in direct response to Salem <br />City Council's approval of the Core Area and North Downtown Master Plans (February,1996 and <br />June, 1997, respectively). <br />A central component of Salem's downtown plans is providing a development pattern that is transit <br />friendly. The goals of adding housing, increasing density and adding employment in the ceniral city <br />are, of course, central to the success of a healthy transit system. The City's support of transit is <br />exemplified by City Council's expressed desire to participate financially in development of the new <br />transit facility currently under construction in downtown Salem. <br />With close coordination between the Transit District and the City's Departments of Public Works <br />and Community Development, I am confident that you will be able to develop a Transit <br />Development Plan that is an assest to the District and the City. I look forward to our respective staff <br />working together to bring the plan together. <br />Sincerely; <br />( ~ ~~ ~ <br />William Healy, Director <br />Community Development <br />
