• Abstract:
  As central cities in California continue their renaissance, commercial gentrification is
  
  often identified by residents as a concern. For many, commercial gentrification means the
  
  intrusion of new businesses that force out a favorite food shop or a longstanding retail store
  
  because of higher rents. For others, it means an influx of hip cafés, trendy retail boutiques, and
  
  gourmet fast food restaurants - places that change the fabric of their familiar neighborhood, for
  
  better or for worse. For many merchants, commercial gentrification can have implications for
  
  economic survival, as increased rents may lead to displacement and business closures.
  
  This report was born out of these concerns, which we uncovered when interviewing
  
  community stakeholders as part of our earlier research on residential gentrification in Los
  
  Angeles and the Bay Area (See Chapple, Loukaitou-Sideris, Waddell, Chatman, & Ong, 2017).
  
  Over the course of this past work, interviews with community members and planners revealed
  
  rapidly-changing storefronts to be a recurring concern. As we looked deeper into this
  
  phenomenon, we found that potential relationships between commercial gentrification and
  
  transit-oriented development (TOD), transit ridership, and traffic safety were relatively
  
  unexplored.
  
  This report focuses on the San Francisco Bay and Los Angeles regions and addresses
  
  gaps in our understanding of the relationship between commercial gentrification and TOD, rail
  
  transit ridership, and traffic safety.
