Mayor's Economic Development Commission presentationMatthew Crane
The mayor of Jasper presented on current and potential economic development projects and initiatives in the city. There are many ongoing and planned projects focused on improving infrastructure, developing a sense of place, and promoting the city. Projects include developing the downtown and riverfront areas, renovating old buildings, expanding trails and parks, conducting transportation and utility studies, and strengthening partnerships. The goal is to connect all projects and growth, avoid isolated initiatives, and continue building momentum to attract new residents and businesses to Jasper.
The Central West Focus Area Steering Committee report summarizes the committee's small area plan for development. The 17-member committee included residents and stakeholders and made decisions by consensus or 2/3 supermajority. The plan promotes walkability, bikeability, and public spaces while respecting neighborhoods. It analyzes development alternatives and their traffic and stormwater impacts. The committee gathered extensive community input through multiple public events.
This document discusses the economic benefits of placemaking and complete streets. Placemaking creates great public spaces that improve quality of life and economic development by attracting businesses and talent. Complete streets that accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists and public transit alongside vehicles make communities more livable and boost economic indicators like property values, retail sales, and development. Case studies show projects that converted roads to be more multimodal generated hundreds of millions in economic output and private investment. Walkable communities with good public spaces are shown to have higher property values.

Workshop 4: Planning new developments - think people, think bicycle
The document summarizes the Midtown Plan, which is an urban design vision for revitalizing the Midtown area of Fort Collins, Colorado. The plan divides the Midtown corridor into three character areas - Gardens, Arts & Entertainment, and Innovation - and calls for improvements like a pedestrian promenade along MAX transit, improved intersections for safety, and a network of public spaces. The implementation strategy encourages new private investment that coordinates with public entities and utilizes financing and regulatory tools to incentivize development consistent with the plan's vision of a vibrant, transit- and pedestrian-oriented destination.
This document discusses opportunities for improved regional transit cooperation in Southern New England and the Northeast Corridor megaregion. It notes that eight of the ten densest US states are located in the Northeast Corridor. Addressing issues like traffic congestion and air pollution requires coordinating transportation planning and services across state and county lines. The document then focuses on opportunities for regional cooperation in three specific areas - Southern New England as a whole, the Knowledge Corridor region between Springfield, MA and New Haven, CT, and the metro Hartford, CT region. It discusses integrating services, fare payment, and mobility options across these regions.

The document discusses the challenges of aging urban expressways built in the 1950s-60s and two case studies of highway transformations in Providence, RI and Hartford, CT. It notes that many original highways are deteriorating, exceeding capacity, and failing to meet safety standards. The Providence case study outlines the replacement of I-195, which opened up 40 acres of land for development when completed in 2009. The Hartford study discusses ongoing planning to replace the aging I-84 viaduct, including alternatives considered and their projected costs. Engaging stakeholders and balancing transportation and urban design goals are emphasized as important lessons from these projects.
The document provides an overview of the Dumbarton Rail Corridor project including:
1) The roles and responsibilities of the key project partners - San Mateo County Transit District, Cross Bay Transit Partners (Facebook and Plenary Group), and regulatory agencies.
2) Updates on engineering and environmental work including potential station sites, alignment options, and key environmental topics.
3) Details on the public outreach process including recent introductory meetings and themes from community feedback.
4) The anticipated project schedule and timeline for environmental review and permitting, engineering, and construction.
India has established several national initiatives and policies to address climate change and sustainable transport, including the National Action Plan on Climate Change with eight missions, and the National Urban Transport Policy. The policies focus on integrating land use and transport planning, expanding public and non-motorized transport, and using innovations financing. However, implementing sustainable transport projects in India faces unique challenges due to factors like the dominance of two-wheelers, rising incomes encouraging personal vehicle ownership, and constraints from climate and terrain in some cities. Several cities are now working to introduce modern bus services and bus rapid transit systems, but have encountered problems due to lack of capacity and experience in planning and operating sustainable transport projects.

Reston Bike Share Feasibility Study: Public Open HouseFairfax County
The document summarizes a feasibility study examining a potential bike sharing system for Reston, Virginia. It describes bike sharing as a network of bicycles distributed around an area for short one-way trips. The study examined the viability of a 13-station, 130-bike system in Reston and identified opportunities like connections to transit and an existing bicycling culture. Key challenges included community densities, locating stations on private property, and identifying funding sources. The study concluded a bike share system was feasible for Reston if careful planning addressed issues like wayfinding, trails, access, and securing capital and operating funds.
The Bicycle Improvement Project (BIP) is a multi-phase project led by the San Angelo Metropolitan Planning Organization (SA-MPO) to create a network of shared and separated bicycle lanes totaling over 12 miles throughout San Angelo. Phase 1 of the project, which is essential to future bike projects, will connect neighborhoods, Goodfellow Air Force Base, and Angelo State University while encouraging cycling and improving safety. The project aims to improve quality of life and connect communities by providing an alternative way to access downtown San Angelo on bike, which could reduce parking needs and attract more visitors and economic activity.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
