(1) Consider directing major public infrastructure investments, including major transportation investments, to reinforce compact urban development; and

(2) Consider giving priority to investments that promote infill or redevelopment of existing urban areas to encourage the density necessary to support alternative modes of transportation. [2009 c.873 § 14]
