🚶♀️🚲 This morning at the APA Utah Fall Conference, I attended “The Transportation/Land Use Connection - Making Active Transportation Work” session. The session highlighted the importance of designing communities that support active transportation and shared some great insights. Key takeaways: • Improved Infrastructure: Prioritizing wayfinding, signage, aesthetics, lighting, and amenities can create inviting, safe spaces that make walking and cycling more accessible. • Mixed-Use Centers: Bringing destinations and housing closer to central areas not only reduces commute times but also encourages more people to walk or bike. • Public Transit Connection: Effective active transportation must be paired with strong public transit options to provide comprehensive mobility solutions. Thoughtful planning around zoning and safe streets can help create communities that prioritize people and place, encouraging healthier, more sustainable lifestyles. #APAUtah #UrbanPlanning #ActiveTransportation #LandUsePlanning #SustainableCities #PublicTransit #EnvironmentalPlanning #TransportationPlanning

Great to see walking routes being developed in unexpected places. You wouldn't think that there was enough nature available to facilitate a 15 mile (24km) Green Route across London but there is. The Green Link Walk runs (!) from Epping Forest to Peckham town and spans five boroughs, links almost 40 areas of green space and a number of waterways via mostly quiet streets. It passes buildings from the 12th to the 21st centuries and wetlands teaming with wildlife. This is the eighth route to be included in the Walk London Network and the Inner London Ramblers plan 5 more. The route was conceived by a partnership of local authorities, transport agencies, government bodies and interest groups (walkers themselves). Amidst a 10% rise in leisure walking post-pandemic 57% of Londoners expressed a desire for increased walking spaces In light of this trend London’s aims to become the most walkable city globally. There's a valuable lesson here in how authorities and communities can make the most of the urban environment by mapping an attractive walkway through it. Let's hope other cities are keeping a close eye on this development. We suspect some will follow this lead. #GreenLinkWalk #selfguidedhiking #outdoors #London #walking https://lnkd.in/gpJ3-hbw

Just wrapped up an insightful meeting with the city planning department 🏙️ We discussed some exciting new initiatives aimed at making our downtown core more walkable and pedestrian-friendly. As a transportation engineer, I'm really encouraged to see the city taking such a people-centric approach to urban design. Too often, our cities are built around the needs of cars rather than the needs of those on foot. But this new plan is all about reclaiming public spaces for pedestrians, with wider sidewalks, more crosswalks, and better connectivity between key destinations. The data shows that when we prioritize walkability, everyone benefits - local businesses see increased foot traffic, emissions and congestion go down, and community engagement goes up as people spend more time outdoors and interacting with their neighbors. Plus, it just makes the city a more vibrant, livable place overall. 🌇 Proud to be part of a profession that's helping to drive this kind of positive change. Who else is excited to see their downtown become more walkable? 👟 #transportation #urbanplanning #sustainability #peoplefirst
