CNN’s First
Joint Land-Use & Transportation Committee is
By Sandra Lefrancois The first joint Land-Use and
Transportation Committee meeting occurred on April 7th after
the Bureau of Planning presentation on the District Liaison Program at
CNN. Four out of seven neighborhood reps participated and discussed the
benefits of combining Land-Use and Transportation opportunities. One
of the major roles expressed by the committee is to share ideas and support
neighborhoods to overcome barriers of meeting various land-use and transportation
needs. Such topics include implementation of traffic calming devices,
the designation and maintenance of common green space, a shared vision
for improving commercial streetscapes & traffic flow and the impact
of new design on surrounding neighborhood. Other objectives voiced by Steven
Eggleston, Land-Use Chair of Roseway, involve getting up to speed on current
Land-Use regulations, codes and other practices. One of the key benefits
of working together is to strengthen the relationship between local residents
and agencies in order to guide change at the local level.
