Abstract
Using rail corridors for BRT may limit right-of-way costs, yet little is known about the land development impacts of this model. This research examines the perceptions and outcomes of implementing BRT station area developments within freight rail corridors using (1) surveys with planners, homebuilders, and developers and (2) Poisson regressions of building permit data in Winnipeg, Canada. Our survey results show that while planners do not view the existence of freight lines positively, homebuilders and developers do not see rail corridors as a barrier to development. This is confirmed by regression results of permit data that show that Winnipeg has experienced more non-detached single-family dwellings, like row- or townhouses, in close proximity to BRT stations. These findings demonstrate that while planners perceive rail lines as a barrier to transit-oriented development, in some cases, land adjacent to rail lines exhibit significant development interest from a market perspective.

Résumé
L'utilisation de corridors ferroviaires pour le SRB peut limiter les coûts d'emprise, mais on sait peu de choses sur les impacts de ce modèle sur l'aménagement du territoire. Cette recherche examine les perceptions et les résultats de la mise en oeuvre des développements de la zone des gares SRB dans les corridors ferroviaires de marchandises à l'aide (1) d'enquêtes auprès des planificateurs, des constructeurs d'habitations et des promoteurs et (2) de régressions de Poisson des données des permis de construire à Winnipeg, au Canada. Les résultats de notre enquête montrent que même si les planificateurs ne considèrent pas l'existence de lignes de fret d'un bon œil, les constructeurs d'habitations et les promoteurs ne considèrent pas les corridors ferroviaires comme un obstacle au développement. Ceci est confirmé par les résultats de régression des données sur les permis qui montrent que Winnipeg a connu davantage d'habitations unifamiliales non attenantes, comme des maisons en rangée ou en rangée, à proximité des stations SRB. Ces résultats démontrent que même si les planificateurs perçoivent les lignes ferroviaires comme un obstacle au développement axé sur le transport en commun, dans certains cas, les terrains adjacents aux lignes ferroviaires présentent un intérêt important en matière de développement du point de vue du marché.
