The White House just announced new actions to lower housing costs for the millions of Americans who struggle to pay rent—and a new report by our Center for Geospatial Solutions is directly informing one solution.   CGS’ findings, which leverages its Who Owns America® analysis, provides a parcel-level examination of development potential on federal, state, and local land holdings. Our data experts identified over 276,000 acres of potential buildable, government-owned land in transit-accessible urban areas—which could support over 1.9 million additional homes.   Read the White House’s announcement: https://lnkd.in/gZfH7FmV   Check out CGS’ “Development Opportunity on America’s Public Lands” report: https://lnkd.in/g7Ui_-ia

"Urban land use reform, affordable housing, reliable transit, and safe streets are now top-priority, must-have interventions for climate change. We have to end the era of car-powered suburban sprawl, and make it legal — and less expensive — to build housing in our urban cores, or in the central business districts of suburban areas, near jobs, transit, and services. " https://lnkd.in/ej9D858t

Doesn't Huntsville have a film festival coming up? Anyone in Huntsville with suitable venue, that may want to partner with HUBS Coop to screen this and maybe some other urban transportation design ideas with a discussion following? Would be cool!

Effective mobility planning is much more than moving people from A to B. It allows cities to reimagine streets as places to stay rather than pass through. Amsterdam’s De Pijp neighborhood is doing exactly that; removing most of its on-street car parking with spectacular results. How we move around the city impacts it in immense and immeasurable ways. Change how we move, and the possibilities for changing the city are endless. Reducing car supremacy extends far beyond saving the planet; it’s essential to create liveable, inclusive, and prosperous places. De Pijp was ground zero in the defense of Amsterdam against the invading automobile, with families taking to the streets in protest. So it’s fitting that decades later, it’s the site of an incredible public realm improvement that will inspire the rest of the city to follow suit. In the grander scheme, Amsterdam is removing 1,500 surface car parking spaces each year—with a total of 10,000 by 2025—only possible through decades of successful transport policy. As we often say: ask not what your city can do for cycling, but what cycling can do for your city.

Who benefits from critical infrastructure like bridges? This is a critical question transportation professionals need to tackle this century as investments face challenges like affordability, climate change, and electrification. In collaboration with Replica and HEAVY.AI, we analyzed how modeled socially vulnerable populations use every major bridge in the United States to develop an equity weighted criticality score. This quantitative measure can center conversations about how socially vulnerable populations benefit or bear environmental burdens from critical infrastructure like bridges. Alta Planning Design #Civic #Analytics team is proud to contribute to this effort by contributing to the analysis conception, approach, narrative, and case studies. Many of the ideas behind this analysis are inspired by an article I co-authored with Karel Martens (he) and Cheryl Croshere titled, "Models and the Questions We Ask" which identifies how models can be oriented to answer new questions needed to advance transportation planning. Thank you to Steven Turell and Mike Flaxman for pushing this forward within Replica and Heavy, and to Hannah Day-Kapell, Cole Peiffer, AICP, Grace Young, Izzy Youngs, Brett Hondorp, Beth Flanagan, Patrick Wilson, Arthur Getman, Kelly Dunn (Glenn), and many others for their contributions and review to this effort.

It was a glorious #BikeToWorkDay morning at the Boulder Chamber! We created an extra-super station this year, featuring more partners and vendors than ever before, including Voodoo Doughnut, HandleStash, Cocktail Caravan, Ampersand Coffee Roasters, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Play Boulder, Open Studios, and others who offered lots of fun activities and delicious treats. I bopped around all morning capturing the fun! Here's a little taste - more on our Boulder Chamber Transportation Connections (BCTC) blog soon! #WayToGo
