Williston 2050 Engagement Insights Report is Live! williston2050.com/report
Honestly I had too much fun talking over wastewater capacity with the Williston Selectboard last night. youtu.be/EEUIw9FpOLc?li…
Crossover is tomorrow. H.687 will get smooshed together with S. 311. H. 683 (Designations Reform) has been rolled into H.687. We'll need to see what the Senate does with all of this post crossover.

We had our 4th Form-Based Code review today. This image is a comparison of what was allowable under our own zoning (top) and what is now required under our FBC (below). FBC also lifted the density caps that would have prohibited the bottom building from being approved:
Good thing I keep a metal ski scraper in my car. Did a little cleanup on my lunch break the other day. Anybody else seeing these around? @btvcleanupcrew
Nice piece about downtown revitalization efforts around Chittenden County here, including a conversation focused on Maple Tree Place and its recent sale. mynbc5.com/article/maple-…
I’d encourage folks to read this @nytimes piece on homelessness Houston has a robust outreach program, integrated w/ police & w/ coordination among all service providers & they can build inexpensive homes (200k per unit) Homelessness is ⬇️ 60% from 2011 nytimes.com/2023/11/29/opi…
Who on here posted that black and white drawing comparison of building facades- one with ornament and one with articulation? I'm trying to find the image again...
Really terrific aerial imagery of Williston, coupled with a podcast about our #williston2050 Town Plan effort: youtube.com/watch?v=pCVf4n…

Getting pumped for some #williston2050 public engagement so I thought I'd ask Dall-e what it will look like. Apparently the planners will be giants:
Licensed Engineer: "Enforcement is the only way to control speed." Also Licensed Engineer: "10-ft lanes, are you crazy? That would slow down traffic!"
It's only been like five years since I posted the idea of #fakebouldernow... vtdigger.org/2023/10/13/sta…

This is great news! Williston Road today divides these neighborhoods with nearly a mile of state highway. And, a crosswalk would allow me to dismount my bike westbound and safely cross to Davis Parkway to get home, rather than make the scary/dangerous left there.

Tax increment financing is a common tool often (mis)used for commercial development. In the hands of Muskegon, MI, it's being used to build hundreds of starter homes on vacant lots and sell them below the cost of construction— without taking a loss. This program scales.
REFUND!?!
"The report frames the Code as a shift away from regulating residential density qua density; in the higher-density districts, the Code does away with statutory density limits altogether, regulating density only by building dimensions." @salimfurth marketurbanism.com/2024/03/29/yim…
The #BTV Neighborhood Code is now signed. Thank you to our Planning Director Meagan Tuttle for making it possible with her outstanding work. In years to come many more people will get to live in this wonderful place as a result of this progress.
Big news! We’re proud to announce that last summer our Pleistocene rewilding biologists released 17 breeding pairs of Ostriches at Victory Basin WMA to help recreate the ecosystem that occurred there ~15,000 years ago. The team has reported that the ostriches are now flourishing.
Burlington approves golf course rezoning, making way for 10,000 new housing units. Environmental groups applaud the city's commitment to reducing sprawl and transportation sector emissions. Proposed street network shown below, extending the Burlington street grid over I-89.
My favorite Bagel experience was probably riding down North Ave with a large group of people on bikes to chat with @MiroBTV outside, complete with a news crew in tow (see video): burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/loc…
Burlington’s new Zoning is mostly unprecedented in New England. Really only comparable to ambitious reforms like Minneapolis and Sacramento. Two buildings now allowed on every parcel, multifamily along major bus routes, 4-plexes allowed everywhere.
Excited to pass the #BTV Neighborhood Code tonight. Finding a home, condo, or apartment in Burlington is too difficult. Housing opportunities of the past are not available today. We must fix that, and the NC is a critical step in that direction. 🧵(1/5)
Congratulations to Norwood for passing their MBTA Communities zoning article at Town Meeting 103-48 last night.
Great news from Norwood, where zoning article 4 (MBTACA zoning) passed last night 103 to 48!!! 🎉🏘️
I’m out here on the local internet trying to get my neighbors on board with some more permissive zoning in BTV.

We could simply cut larger Child Tax Credit checks for parents with children under 6. That would be more administratively straightforward and has the added benefit that it'd be more culture war 'neutral' in that it'd help stay-at-parents as much as those who use childcare. 2/2
