Reframing Key Transportation Conventions

2006-05-12 , Russ, Troy

The primary transportation challenge of any integrated Land Use and Transportation Study is to balance the success and livability of the local community with its responsibility to accommodate regional transportation demand. Livability is focused on balancing vehicular service requirements with local business, neighborhood and pedestrian needs. Module 4 presents how several key transportation obstacles to Livable Street Design should be approached and enable the community development community to engage transportation professionals and ensure transportation facilities are designed for communities. Key transposition conventions examined will include: project design traffic, roadway functional classifications, design speed, and roadway design standards. Instructor: Troy Russ, AICP

Urban Design & Community Context

2006-05-11 , Dagenhart, Richard , McKinney, Ed

Module 2 will present basic community elements and how these elements can be assessed. This session will demonstrate structural elements of conducting a contextual analysis for the social, physical and economic conditions of a community, or study area, in which the transportation initiative is situated. This multi-disciplined assessment will allow the project team and the local community to understand the complex issues related to community development, its relationship and sensitivity to roadway design alternatives, and most importantly, the expectations of the project's vested stakeholders.

Implementation Tools: Land Use & Transportation

2006-05-12 , Russ, Troy

Module 5 will discuss the implementation process from both a public and private perspective. A property executed community design process that engages vested stakeholders will result in community consensus and political support for most initiatives. This module will outline the needed implementation steps for moving beyond vision to reality. Both short-term partnership and funding opportunities for public initiatives will be discussed as well as longer-term land development regulations and incentives packages needed for contributing private investment. Instructor: Troy Russ, AICP

The Design & Planning Process: Developing a Community Vision

2006-05-11 , McKinney, Ed , Dagenhart, Richard

Module 3 will present how successfully integrated land use and transportation projects actively involve local residents and business owners to take ownership of the project, ensuring its implementation. The module will demonstrate how the project team does not "design for" the community, but rather "designs with" the community. The session will demonstrate a successful model of community engagement and a successful approach to developing a community vision through stakeholder and partner agency participation. This comprehensive design effort moves beyond the traditional public information process and empowers local partnering public agencies and vested stakeholders to influence the transportation initiative and community design process. Instructors: Ed McKinney, AICP / Richard Dagenhart, AIA
