Scene in Edmonds: Around town Saturday dlvr.it/T66Xfc
Look at the unabashed civic aspiration & vision on this *public WiFi portal* in Palatine, IL. Every city should be this proud of its evolution! (No idea how this manifests in policy, but coming from Seattle - where “cities” are embarrassed about change - it’s refreshing.)
This Wednesday - come hang in Edmonds.
This is a diagram from an urban evolution study commissioned by the City of Edmonds – more than 50 years ago!!! We've been thinking about changing our development patterns for *half a century.* Time is completely up on excuses. This needs to happen now.

This one-size-fits-all approach will cover more land with asphalt, encourage more car use, and increase traffic congestion – and road wear – in Edmonds. (image via @culdesac)
Send a letter and let the Planning Board know: "one-size-fits-all" doesn't work for Edmonds, or our ADUs! actionnetwork.org/letters/suppor…
@mackeyguenther @thenordicmuseum Agreed completely! Fortunately there is a broad & diverse coalition of non-profits, politicians, small businesses and (over 1200!!!) community members who are Fighting For the 40 to be built as designed!! Folks can join that coalition at actionnetwork.org/letters/fight-…
See you there!

A recent study investigated how building typology affects total energy performance & daylight in buildings w/ similar urban densities The results: The point access typology is the best plan type, providing optimal daylight & energy performance solarlits.com/jd/6-187#f1
Sometimes, Council needs a reminder map, or three, of where the existing ingredients for successful neighborhoods – sidewalks, community spaces, and high latent demand, just to name a few – are actually located in Edmonds. (Spoiler: it's not along State Route 99.)

“Walking makes us healthier, happier and more connected to our neighbors through spontaneous interactions. All of Seattle could become walkable with an ambitious Comprehensive Plan. We could build a city where everyone could walk to… daily necessities”
Today, only 44% of Seattleites can walk to basic daily necessities. We can do better w/an ambtious Seattle Comprehensive Plan that restores neighborhood centers, expands their size, and fills in other walkability gaps by increasing the ability to build. seattletimes.com/opinion/letter…
@loganb @CityofBothell Great question. I think you'd have to look at a variety of incentives, like no parking mandates, extra floor, tax breaks, & ensuring no extra "exactions" for rebuilding nearby utilities beyond the regular impact fees (which are also super $$$$). Also allow zero lot line.

Peek at the Eastrail running behind Uwajimaya. It will take you to PCC, REI, Trader Joe’s, Target, Home Depot and Best Buy 4 blocks away. It’s gonna be epic when it eventually continues over the Wilburton Trestle and 405 and I-90 to connect with the open segment to Renton.
I had enough forethought to pick up beer and breakfast at a country store I passed by. I am very smart.
I more-or-less seriously think that this, modified as need be to fit the case, is responsible for a lot of the flatness of contemporary culture: a whole lot of makers engaging only with xeroxes-of-xeroxes-of-xeroxes instead of going Back To The Well
