Creating a walkable city entails more than simply laying down a sidewalk and considering the task complete. It involves the strategic closure of streets to facilitate outdoor dining, the establishment of pedestrian plazas for live entertainment, the connection of various downtown areas through walkways and numerous other measures. This article delves into the many advantages brought about by such initiatives. Additionally, it offers valuable advice on initiating a walkability campaign and overcoming potential challenges faced by municipal leaders during the process.

Are you getting Ready for Parking Day? Start preparing to join thousands of people in a global movement to expose how cities and towns have focused their policies on building out parking more than building productive places. My colleague Carlee Alm-LaBar shares one powerful way for cities to increase their resilience and productivity by abolishing parking minimums. Carlee literally took to the streets in her own community to demonstrate outdoor dining opportunities in her downtown. Parking Day provided the much needed nudge to show how selectively occupying on-street parking spaces could be used for dining. For local heroes like you, embracing this challenge often involves taking small steps before reaching the final goal. Parking season is approaching, reminding us we are not alone and its time for you to take that next smallest step. https://lnkd.in/eiJ5Ny2B

A trial of improvements to Collins Street (Molle to Murray Street), including more street planting, opportunities for street side dining and seating as well as separated cycle lanes has been approved at Council. The trial aligns with the Hobart Transport Strategy and the Central Hobart Plan and follows 15 years of urban design planning, asking the question: How do we create a city for people? Feedback during the extensive engagement period resulted in many improvements to the original plan, including; - Returning 10 on-street car parking bays. - Increasing the current accessible parking bays from two to five. - Retaining Victoria Street as a one-way route and saving seven car spaces. - Developing a plan to extend opening hours of Centrepoint carpark to support local businesses when the trial begins. - Launching a Parking Availability app that shows exactly where of the 1000+ parking spots are within the Collins Street city block in real time. - Keeping 24 hour loading zones on all street blocks. Key features of the trial, set to start in early 2025: - New street planting, outdoor seating, and dining areas - Safer, separated cycle lanes - Extended carpark hours for local businesses - A proposed 30 km/h speed limit for safety The trial will run for two years and a full report will be presented to the Council after the trial period.

With changing tastes and needs of American consumers, real estate conversions have been growing in popularity across the nation. Along with the recent rise in office-to-residential conversions, house-to-restaurant conversions, a more recent adaptation, have also been prevalent. These “micro restaurants” are popping up in places like Los Angeles, CA, Austin, TX, and Nashville, TN. Developers are transforming groups of old homes into walkable culinary hubs for the surrounding high-density neighborhoods. Residents of these transformed neighborhoods gain the ability to purchase a coffee or eat dinner without traveling far distances to do so. #realestate #american #consumers #conversions #popularity #office #residential #restaurant #losangeles #austin #nashville #developers #neighborhoods #distances #restructurednews If you're interested to learn more about our newsletter, subscribe here: www.restructurednews.com or follow us on Instagram @restructurednews and TikTok @restructurednews https://lnkd.in/eRZ42sbA

The rapid transformation of commercial real estate into lifestyle-oriented spaces reflects changing consumer preferences and the evolving nature of work and leisure. This reinvention prioritizes experiences and community engagement, fostering environments that blend retail, dining, and recreational opportunities. As we adapt to these shifts, stakeholders must remain agile to meet the demands of a dynamic market.

Throwback Thursday! Looking back at one of our most challenging installations—Patrick McGovern's two-level patio. Initially, we assumed the retractable roof would cover either the top or bottom patio. However, the client wanted a roof to span both levels and connect two separate buildings. On top of that, he requested an electric opening system—something we hadn’t yet developed at the time. And the deadline? Before St. Patrick’s Day, the pub's biggest event of the year. Despite these challenges, we delivered. The structure was completed on time, though the roof was manually operated for that first event in 2013. This project highlights our commitment to innovation and adaptability. At Cabrio Structures, we thrive on challenges and turn them into opportunities to grow and evolve. #TBT #RetractableRoof #RetractableEnclosure #RetractableEnclosures #RetractableRoofSystems #PatioDesign #PoolEnclosure #PatioEnclosure #NationalRestaurantAssociation #RestaurantPatio #RestaurantDesign #HospitalityDesign #Hospitality #CabrioLux
