Livable streets are designed to provide safe access for physical activity for all ages and abilities through features like sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks and street trees. They benefit communities by promoting health, transportation options, and economic development. While over half of Americans want to drive less and walk or bike more, only 1% of transportation funding goes to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. Missouri's Livable Streets project aims to build support for livable streets statewide by providing resources and assistance to advocates and communities adopting livable streets policies.
Trends in New Jersey Land Use: Addressing Obesity Through PlanningNew Jersey Future
Presented at the New Jersey Chapter of the American Planning Association annual conference, Nov. 4, 2011, by Outreach and Development Director Dan Fatton
This document provides information on the costs and benefits of complete streets. It discusses how complete streets can improve public health by promoting physical activity, safety, and access to destinations. Economic benefits include job creation, increased property values and business revenue. Traffic is better managed through complete streets, as evidenced in Portland and Boulder which saw increased biking and walking and decreased driving. User fees do not cover full road costs, and complete streets may reduce costs by offering transportation alternatives.
This document summarizes transportation trends among young people and Americans in general. It notes that vehicle miles traveled have declined 23% among 16-34 year olds since 2001, and that the share of 14-34 year olds without a driver's license has increased. This decline is attributed to economic and lifestyle changes, as well as changing attitudes and new technologies. Additionally, millennials are more likely to live in urban areas and use multiple modes of transportation like transit, walking and biking compared to older generations. Public policy choices around affordable and efficient transit options will help determine future transportation patterns.
The document discusses Washington State's efforts to measure biking and walking through various performance measures and data collection. It notes the state's goal to reduce crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians while doubling biking and walking. However, the data shows the number of fatalities and serious injuries involving bicyclists and pedestrians has remained high. The state is working to improve data collection on biking and walking through expanded count programs and surveys to better inform planning and safety efforts.

This document discusses a study on the livelihoods of women living in the Semmencherry Resettlement Area in Chennai, India. The study examines how women's access to public transportation affects their livelihood assets and spatial practices. It finds that transportation has a multiplier effect, improving livelihood assets for women who can freely choose transportation, but worsening the position of women dependent on transportation for their livelihoods. The document outlines the study's methodology, case context, findings on daily travel and access to facilities. It analyzes factors influencing transportation access and the strategies women use to cope. The conclusion is that transportation plays a key role in inclusion or exclusion from the city and its livelihood opportunities.

This document discusses two projects related to transportation alternatives: 1) A project to develop an efficient concept of operations for smart dial-a-ride transit to provide on-demand mobility for seniors, with the goals of cost savings, reduced energy use, and pollution reduction. 2) A project to study user preferences for bicycling and walking facilities and develop a guide for local governments to plan infrastructure that promotes alternatives to driving.
This document discusses transforming commercial corridors into healthy corridors. It notes that many corridors are currently automobile-centric and negatively impact health, safety, and community. A healthy corridors approach considers how the built environment along a corridor can support physical activity, safety, access to healthy food/services, transportation options, housing affordability, and social cohesion to benefit surrounding neighborhoods. This involves understanding baseline conditions and needs, engaging the community including underserved groups, and considering health outcomes when planning improvements. The goal is to create vibrant, equitable and sustainable places through corridor redevelopment.
Making the most of bike commuting - New Albany, Indianaericvancemartin
This document summarizes a workshop that explored how increasing bicycle infrastructure in New Albany, Indiana could impact bicycle commuting rates and public health outcomes. It describes three scenarios: the current situation with low infrastructure/commuting; a scenario with more lanes and paths that could double commuters; and a scenario with infrastructure on all major roads that could increase commuters five-fold. Scientific studies were cited showing that more infrastructure correlates with more riders and better health outcomes like reduced obesity and diabetes rates. Cost-benefit analyses of infrastructure in other cities found benefits outweigh costs in reduced healthcare and fuel costs or increased safety.
This document discusses encouraging more cycling, especially among women. It notes that the proportion of female cyclists can indicate how welcoming a city is to cycling. Research shows that women tend to make more, shorter trips while juggling other tasks, so their safety, comfort and transportation needs should be specifically considered in city planning. The document outlines gaps in considering how gender influences mobility and use of public spaces. The presenter's research aims to better understand gender differences to inform inclusive planning of cities and cycling infrastructure.
The document summarizes the results of a regional poll of 800 residents in 7 parishes along the Baton Rouge to New Orleans corridor on quality of life and transportation issues. Key findings include that residents express affection for their neighborhoods but have concerns about issues like traffic, housing costs and energy costs. They value walkable neighborhoods and prefer solutions like expanding public transit and building new bike/walking paths over widening roads. A majority support passenger rail connecting Baton Rouge and New Orleans and believe it could help reduce traffic and boost economic growth.
This document discusses funding opportunities for Complete Streets projects from various sources. It provides examples of cities that have passed voter-supported transportation funding measures for multi-modal projects. Surveys show public support for spending on walking, biking and transit over road expansion alone. Examples are given of cities that obtained federal grants or private contributions to fund Complete Streets projects. Adopting a Complete Streets policy can make a city more competitive for certain sources of local, state and federal transportation funding.
Suburban sprawl has led to increased car dependency and lack of physical activity, contributing to rising obesity rates. As more Americans moved to car-centric suburbs lacking sidewalks and bike lanes, they must drive more and walk less to run errands. This sedentary lifestyle has resulted in 64% of adults being overweight and almost 1/3 being obese, with 280,000 dying annually from obesity. Implementing smart growth community designs with mixed-used, walkable neighborhoods may help address this public health crisis by promoting active transportation.
This document discusses strategies for addressing concerns that Complete Streets policies are too costly. It provides four key answers: 1) Complete Streets are necessary to accommodate existing users like pedestrians, cyclists, and those with disabilities; 2) Complete Streets can be achieved within existing transportation budgets; 3) Complete Streets can lead to new funding opportunities; and 4) Complete Streets add lasting value to communities. It emphasizes using real examples, photos, statistics, and quotes to show the needs of vulnerable users and that the up-front costs of Complete Streets are outweighed by their long-term benefits.

Innovations Within Our Means, Presentation 3Trailnet
Livable streets are designed to provide safe access for physical activity for all ages and abilities through features like sidewalks, bike lanes, crosswalks and street trees. They benefit communities by promoting health, transportation options, and economic development. While over half of Americans want to drive less and walk or bike more, only 1% of transportation funding goes to pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure. Missouri's Livable Streets project aims to build support for livable streets statewide through advocacy, policy work, and coalition building at the local level.
Manatee County APHA Power of Policy ApplicationMegan Jourdan
The document describes a proposed Complete Streets policy for Manatee County, Florida. It notes that unintentional injuries, obesity, and air pollution are major public health issues affecting the county.

The Minneapolis Bicycle Story David PetersonTrailnet
The Minneapolis Bicycle Story provides a history of bicycle planning and infrastructure development in Minneapolis over several decades. It details how an extensive system of off-street parkways and trails were established beginning in the early 1900s. In the 1970s, the first on-street bike lanes were installed and a system of on-street bike routes was developed downtown in the 1990s. Major opportunities like bridge reconstructions have been leveraged to improve bicycle facilities. Today, Minneapolis has over 85 miles of off-street trails and a growing network of on-street low-stress bikeways through strategies like bike boulevards and protected bike lanes. Coordination between numerous city departments and external organizations has been key to funding and implementing the bicycle network.
This document discusses Indianapolis' policies and plans to promote bicycling and complete streets. It summarizes the city's Bicycle Master Plan from 2012, which was informed by public meetings and a Bicycle Advisory Committee. It also outlines the Complete Streets Policy from 2012 that requires quarterly reporting on metrics like bike lanes built and pedestrian accommodations. A Complete Streets Advisory Committee provides feedback and helps promote walkability and bikeability near schools. The city utilizes these committees, social media, and stakeholder meetings to communicate its message and track progress through standardized monthly, quarterly and GIS-based reports.
The document discusses the benefits of planting trees, including providing shade, improving aesthetics and safety, lowering energy costs and improving air quality. It also notes that planting trees in developments can increase property values and decrease crime rates. The document provides an example cost analysis showing that planting trees in 120 houses would save money after 10 years due to reduced energy costs from the trees providing shade and cooling.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Council Member Brad Lander discussed participatory budgeting that has been implemented in New York City's 39th district. Participatory budgeting allows community members to directly decide how to spend part of a public budget through a democratic process. In the first year over 6,000 voters and 250 budget delegates were involved in the district's participatory budgeting process. It identified community project ideas and funding priorities through neighborhood assemblies and delegate meetings. While challenges remain, participatory budgeting has deepened civic engagement and trust in government by giving residents a direct say in budget decisions.

Central West End Story: How a Walkable, Diverse Neighborhood Bounced Back fr...Trailnet
The Central West End neighborhood in St. Louis experienced a period of decline from the 1970s but has since bounced back. It transitioned from a population loss and high vacancy rates to a stable population, low vacancy rates, and increasing housing values. While the neighborhood exhibits characteristics of gentrification like rising incomes and a younger population, it has maintained more racial and economic diversity than typical gentrified neighborhoods. The recovery was driven by private and public investments as well as community organizations focused on livability.
Bus Rapid Transit: Meeting international best practiceTrailnet
The document discusses best practices for Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems based on ITDP's experience working with cities worldwide. It outlines that BRT aims to save passengers time and provide high quality service to attract riders. Key elements of international gold standard BRT corridors include dedicated bus lanes, off-board fare collection, platform-level boarding, frequent service, and beautiful stations. BRT can also stimulate transitoriented development when corridors have developable land, transit-supportive zoning, and financial incentives are provided to developers. The quality of the transit investment is more important than the mode, as seen in the positive impacts of BRT systems in Cleveland and Seattle.

The document outlines the strengths and weaknesses of the regional community development system, and then describes the mission and approach of inveSTL to support neighborhoods in the St. Louis region. inveSTL aims to engage residents and stakeholders through fundraising events and donations. It allocates 75% of funds towards long-term neighborhood investments chosen through a voting process, and uses 25% for near-term needs.
This document outlines a development plan created through a community engagement process for the neighborhood of O'Fallon. Residents, city officials, universities, and social services worked together in block units and groups to create vision statements, outcomes, strategies, and programs around housing, economic development, health, education, and creating equity. The plan aims to positively impact the region by increasing minority participation, building new partnerships, and becoming a model for redevelopment. Lessons learned included the importance of resources, partners, recruiting less visible groups, building trust, and addressing personality clashes. The full plan can be viewed online.
The Great Rivers Greenway District works to improve the St. Louis region through investments in greenways and trails. It has funded $104 million in projects, preserving 1500 acres and connecting 40 communities across 104 miles of trails. With 140 community partners, the district aims to promote health, transportation options, and economic growth. For every $1 million invested in trail development, 11.4 jobs are created according to a University of Massachusetts study. Current projects include the St. Vincent Greenway and Confluence Greenway, which will provide new connections and access to nature in the region.
The document discusses how buildings are major contributors to energy consumption, waste output, CO2 emissions, and water use. Green buildings can reduce energy use by 24-50%, CO2 emissions by 33-39%, water use by 40%, and solid waste by 70%. Green building techniques include building reuse, green roofs, rainwater management, and LEED for Neighborhood Development certification which focuses on smart location, mixed-use neighborhoods, walkability, and access to transit. Local examples of LEED ND projects are provided. The presentation encourages making every building green by utilizing credits for local food production, tree-lined streets, and reducing heat islands.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.
