NJ Complete Streets Summit Keynote - Charles Marohn
The document summarizes a New Jersey Complete Streets Summit that discussed building streets for all modes of transportation rather than just automobiles. It notes that Complete Streets is a rational approach and that streets should accommodate people first rather than being dominated by automobiles. Engineers are willing to build Complete Streets because it keeps their focus on traffic speed and volume rather than prioritizing safety and costs like the public prefers.

Fulton Market Streetscape Public Meeting 12/10/2014
The document summarizes recommendations for improving the Fulton Market Streetscape between Ogden Avenue and Halsted Street in Chicago. It discusses conducting community outreach to understand issues and visions. Proposed improvements include upgrading infrastructure, enhancing pedestrian safety and accessibility, and designing the street to be flexible and accommodate different uses over time and between day and night. The improvements would be implemented in two phases from 2015 to 2017, starting with the section from Carpenter Street to Halsted Street.
Rethinking Neighborhood Design
This document evaluates different aspects of neighborhood design in downtown Salt Lake City on a scale of 1 to 10. It summarizes that:
1) Energy use of buildings scored 5/10 due to a lack of alternative energy sources and lack of building heating/cooling to mitigate heat islands.
2) Transportation options scored 8.5/10, praising shade and pedestrian protections but noting better bike lanes are needed.
3) The overall neighborhood design scored 6.8 out of 10 across all categories. Improvements in affordable housing, bike lanes, public spaces, and addressing vacant buildings were recommended.
Clifton Avenue Streetscape Design - Posters
The document proposes transforming Clifton Avenue from an automobile-dominated corridor into a multi-modal public space using principles of balance, safety, and eco-design. The proposal would include widened sidewalks, bike lanes, traffic calming measures like a raised median and narrower lanes to slow traffic, and green infrastructure like bioswales and trees to manage stormwater runoff in a self-sustaining manner. The goal is to improve connectivity between Burnet Woods, the university, and surrounding neighborhoods while creating a more comfortable environment for all users.

Leith economic framework presentation dec14
This document provides an economic framework for investing in jobs in Leith, Edinburgh. It finds that there are good prospects for new jobs in administrative/support services and accommodation/food services. Developing the creative, tourism, and retail sectors can help promote Leith and attract visitors. There are some excellent development opportunity sites among the limited vacant lands and buildings. The document outlines four programs to guide activity: investing in development/regeneration, supporting inward investment and key industries, assisting local businesses, and helping unemployed residents into work or education. Next steps include consulting on the framework and developing specific action areas, timelines, and responsibilities.
Neighbourhood meetings 2011
The document summarizes the city of Edinburgh's financial context and revenue budget for 2011/12. It breaks down the budget by service, resource, staffing (FTE), and funding. It notes factors that will impact the budget such as the UK spending review, welfare reform, and inflation. It also discusses the city's growing population and changing demographics, which will increase demand for services amid reduced funding in real terms over the period from 2010/11 to 2017/18.

Forth energy 2nd exhibition banners
The document summarizes questions raised at a previous public exhibition about a proposed renewable energy plant in Leith, Scotland. It addresses concerns about air quality, noise levels, fuel supply, jobs and benefits. Key points include:
- The plant will be designed to not significantly impact local air quality or noise levels. Emissions will meet strict regulations.
- Fuel will predominantly be imported wood chips and pellets but some UK-sourced fuel may be used in future. Life-cycle carbon emissions are estimated to be 89% lower than a coal plant.
- The plant would create 300-500 construction jobs and 45 permanent jobs, benefiting the local economy. Heat could also be supplied locally.
Banner 3
Forth Energy is proposing to develop renewable energy plants in Scotland that would convert biomass into energy through a multi-step process. The biomass fuel would be obtained from sustainably harvested timber, transported by sea, and stored at port facilities. This fuel would then be converted into renewable electricity and heat through a process involving boilers, turbines, and carefully controlled emissions systems. Forth Energy is conducting an environmental impact assessment to identify and mitigate any significant environmental impacts, and is consulting with local councils, environmental agencies, and interest groups to gather input on the proposed plants.

Review of Local Landscape Designations, Edinburgh
This document summarizes a review of Edinburgh's landscape designations. It discusses undertaking a landscape character assessment that identified 15 landscape types and 75 areas. Candidate Special Landscape Areas were evaluated against criteria like scenic quality and naturalness. Some areas were proposed for designation as SLAs while others were proposed for de-designation.
