Portland's Complete Streets Policy - GSMSummit 2014, Bruce HymanGrowSmart Maine
Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
The Summit offers you a wonderful opportunity to be a part of the transformative change in Maine that we’ve seen these gatherings produce. We encourage you to consider the value of being actively involved in growing Maine’s economy and protecting the reasons we choose to live here.
This proposed project is intended to improve traffic circulation and access to properties along the Loop 250 frontage road. The extension of Beal Parkway would provide a new connection to Thomason Drive and will reduce traffic in adjacent neighborhoods. A roundabout is also proposed at the intersection of Thomason Drive and Illinois Avenue to provide a safer interchange of traffic between the three roadways.

A presentation made by Nicholas de Wolff to Burbank City Council and fellow Sustainability Commissioners, outlining the benefits of Complete Streets, and new ways to consider the role of the streetscape in urban areas.
Rick Hall analyzes the economic, health and environmental implications of creating pedestrian friendly, walkable neighborhoods. While recognizing the importance of walkability to the overall effort of healthy urban development, Mr. Hall highlights the "top ten" factors contributing to walkability. Topping this list is small block size. Mr. Hall's presentation reminds us of the importance of contextual connectivity, pedestrian accessibility as well as urban density and their contribution sustainable city design.
the Community Access Project sings out the concerns of people with physical and sensory disabilities in these Public Comments to MassDOT. Three recommendations, with photos, are included.
On March 2015, the City of Summit initiated a Feasibility Study on the vision of converting the abandoned Rahway Valley Railroad into a rail trail more commonly referred to as the Summit Parkline. The Study develops feasible and economical concepts for a 1.2-mile trail and linear park on the existing railroad right-of-way. The Summit Parkline is a unique opportunity for the City to create a recreational amenity that has potential to be a major local and regional attraction and character-giving symbol for the community.

Sustainable Mobility Plan for Udaipur - 2014 by Ashutosh Nirvadyaacharixyzashu

Organic Urbanism: human-oriented design for metropolisesOleksandr Galychyn
Abstract
Existing theories of sustainable development have failed to address three common structural elements of the
human-oriented transportation system: healthy neighborhoods, Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) connected
by integrated public-soft transportation network. The newly emerged conceptual model for zero-emission and zerowaste
urban design named Green Urbanism like the previous theories has failed to develop those three structural
elements of organic city.
In this paper approaches regarding the successful integration of soft transportation to the transit network will be
discussed. Secondly, the best physical standard for TOD will be determined by comparing TODs in Japan, Denmark,
Ukraine and Turkey by socio-economic indicators of each TOD type. Finally, the concept of healthy neighborhood
will be developed based on the Lehmann’s healthy community&district definitions, concept of human oriented
transportation, and the latest eco-mobility study from Barcelona. Thus, new conceptual model for sustainable city
will be proposed.
The proposed "Outer Beltway" would cut through Loudoun & Prince William counties in Virginia. As we see it, this controversial new highway would take land from a National Park, open up over 100,000 acres to scattered development, and has the potential to actually increase traffic congestion on nearby roads.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Presentation by Jared Jageler, David Adler, Noelia Duchovny, and Evan Herrnstadt, analysts in CBO’s Microeconomic Studies and Health Analysis Divisions, at the Association of Environmental and Resource Economists Summer Conference.
This session provides a comprehensive overview of the latest updates to the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly known as the Uniform Guidance) outlined in the 2 CFR 200.
With a focus on the 2024 revisions issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), participants will gain insight into the key changes affecting federal grant recipients. The session will delve into critical regulatory updates, providing attendees with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate and comply with the evolving landscape of federal grant management.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the rationale behind the 2024 updates to the Uniform Guidance outlined in 2 CFR 200, and their implications for federal grant recipients.
- Identify the key changes and revisions introduced by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in the 2024 edition of 2 CFR 200.
- Gain proficiency in applying the updated regulations to ensure compliance with federal grant requirements and avoid potential audit findings.
- Develop strategies for effectively implementing the new guidelines within the grant management processes of their respective organizations, fostering efficiency and accountability in federal grant administration.

19. Context-sensitive Arterials
A collection of images of arterial roadways that balance user
needs, including before/after photos where available.

As speeds increase, “cone of
vision” shrinks and driver pays less
attention to surroundings.

Guiding Principles
1. A street that is safe for pedestrians
is a street that is safe for all users.
2. People, including drivers and
bicyclists, are rarely killed in walkable
environments.
3. Walkable environments can still
accommodate vehicle traffic.

problems are usually far
less serious than

108. Traffic reduction is partly
explained by recognizing
that people react to a
change in road conditions
in much more complex
ways than has
traditionally been
assumed in traffic models.
