"Lifestyle Habits"

During the July 14th Governmental Services Standing Committee meeting, an interesting large scale issue was raised for discussion. The theme of the issue was our "community's lifestyle habits", and how we design our neighborhoods for them.

Some of the specific subdivision design elements that were included in this theme were:

1) amount of parking required (both on street and off) for neighborhoods;
2) pedestrian oriented design; and,
3) design standards for narrower neighborhood streets.

Standing Committee Meeting

On July 14th, I presented a project update to the Governmental Services Standing Committee of City Council.

The presentation outlined the project to date, including its scope; general findings; and public engagement strategies and statistics. A video of the presentation will be available shortly.

The Governmental Services Committee regularly scheduled meeting is the second Monday of each month, at 7:00 a.m. at City Hall.
