Urbanism Café is TODAY at 5:30pm, Sweetwaters @ 123 W. Washington. Hot topic from last night's session with consultants: should we "hold out" for office buildings along Plymouth for an "innovation" district? Or make all buildings have some retail in "retail" districts? #a2council
Today is the first Wednesday of the month, which means Urbanism Happy Hour at Blue Tractor, 5-7pm. It's always a fun time! Come with a question or problem you'd like the group to discuss, and I'll have some updates too. (Yard sign courtesy of The Nimbee)

It's the first Wednesday of the month, so **today** is Urbanism Happy Hour! Please join Neighborhood Institute friends at Blue Tractor from 5-7pm. No agenda, except for a request to come with one idea for how to change a locally-hated street into something amazing! #a2council
"In broad strokes what we're seeing is just limited supply," said Kirk Westphal, executive director of Neighborhood Institute. "And the supply is being limited by zoning ordinances... Cities in general just have to move a lot more quickly on this."

@the_transit_guy I love intercity trains, I just wonder if prioritizing these destinations makes sense given the density, transit coverage, and parking abundance?

❤️ "We propose that the federal government use highway funding as a legal mechanism to force states to adopt zoning reform... under exclusionary zoning, development is encouraged to unnecessarily sprawl overloading interstate highways, thus forcing expensive highway widenings."
Does zoning fire you up? I’m so excited that a statewide conversation about land use and zoning is happening in #michigan! Email michigancoalitionforhousing@gmail to join in! #zoning#YIMBY#urbanplanning
