The Plan Commission has 3 applications for car-oriented businesses on the agenda today. A car wash half a block from a future bus rapid transit station. A Starbucks _without_ walk-up access in the middle of a neighborhood. A bank drive-through in a regional mixed use district. In each case, staff analysis points out how this is against the recommendations in plans and ordinance, and yet they recommend approval. Our ordinance is too weak.

A lot of dense and tall redevelopment in the coming years.

It's always the rule that when a governor or mayor announces improvements in transit oriented development of cities and communities, the /#GOP opposes. They still believe in their myriads of single family homes with endless access roads, congested stroads and multi lane highways.

Question for @bethsawin about : How does one write about multiple failures that lead to a big missed opportunity that could have solved multiple problems? Circular writing...
My town is redeveloping its mall. It will generate traffic, pollution, and who knows what else because it won't be . I've identified a handful of unrelated oversights that could have combined for a thoughtful shift in thinking.
Could you share good examples of writing?

After hours of testimony and debate, the Common Council passed a ordinance. Within a 1/4 mile from high frequency transit routes, an overlay district will make it easier to develop to higher density. Included measures: (1/)

Don't want to get overly excited for this, but it feels like a huge step forward to improving cities for everyone

- Cities in WA state have set precedent of (some of) what's possible
- Solid bipartisan support
- This policy focuses on incentives, not punishments
- Bold push from the federal level

Cleveland was the 5th largest city in the US in 1920, but suburban sprawl over the next 80 years gutted it. Can revitalize the city and make it a desirable place to live?

It’s a shame the success of Metro Center at Ownings Mills hasn’t silenced the NiMBYs in Timonium. This sounds like a pretty cool project with undue opposition.

In Woodley Park. Can you envision something new by the Metro? I like to imagine a nice cafe with outdoor seating where you could meet a friend coming by Metro.
