2 Local Government Commission Nonprofit membership organization based in Sacramento, CA of local government officials elected and staff Founded in 1979 to work on energy issues During 1980s expanded to work on pollution prevention, waste management, hazardous waste 1991: Started working on land use issues The Ahwahnee Principles, 1991 Response to our members concerns over sprawling, poorly planned development in their communities Assembled with assistance from leading architects and planners working on innovative solutions 2
3 The Ahwahnee Principles, 1991 Revitalize existing parts of our communities through infill development Plan complete and integrated communities with mix of uses Within walking distance of one another Within walking distance of transit stops With a diversity of housing types With a center focus The Ahwahnee Principles for More Livable Communities Embraced by local government officials in California and other states LGC initiated programs on land use and transportation planning 1993 created Center for Livable Communities Partnered with Air Districts since early 1990s Over 200 cities and counties in California adopted all or part into their planning documents Since 2001 have organized National New Partners for Smart Growth Conference 3

12 The Challenge Retrofit and Design Neighborhoods to Lower Trips and Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) How Smart Growth can help Changes to Land Use pattern Reduction in trips and VMT as result of 4Ds: Density = Compact Development Diversity = Land Use Mix Design = Site Design, Street Design Destination = Accessibility/Street Network Connectivity Emphasis on creating walkable, bicycle- and transit-friendly neighborhoods Emphasis on placemaking creating great community gathering places, increase sense of community Smart Growth concepts help achieve security/safety goals Walkable, mixed-use, transit friendly neighborhoods have more eyes-onthe-street, natural surveillance, self-policing Slower, safer streets result in fewer motor vehicle crashes Well-connected street networks (and lanes/alleys) provide greater access to all parts of a community 12
13 Smart Growth concepts might conflict with security/safety goals Concern that alleys/trail connectors might allow criminal activity, impede police access Concern that narrower, slower streets might restrict emergency response Access for fire trucks Room for setting up fire trucks, especially ladder trucks Economic Benefits of Smart Growth Just as companies now compete on quality, communities will too. Collaborative Economics, Linking the New Economy to the Livable Community Livability isn t some middle class luxury. It is an economic imperative. Robert Solow, Nobel Prize-winning Economist 13
14 Principles of Smart Growth/ Livable Communities Ten Principles of Smart Growth Preserve Open Space, Farmland, Natural Beauty and Critical Environmental Areas Strengthen and Direct Development Towards Existing Communities Take Advantage of Compact Building Design Mix Land Uses Create Range of Housing Opportunities and Choices Provide a Variety of Transportation Choices Create Walkable Neighborhoods Foster Distinctive, Attractive Communities with a Strong Sense of Place Encourage Community and Stakeholder Collaboration Make Development Decisions Predictable, Fair and Cost Effective 14

46 Safe Streets Need Good Sidewalks The Burden of Physical Inactivity The Problem 27% of adults are sedentary 61% of adults are overweight 1 in 4 adults is obese The Outcome Obesity, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, Diabetes Physical inactivity is a primary factor in over 250,000 deaths annually. Medical costs associated with physical inactivity and its consequences may exceed $120 billion annually. Data Sources: 2000 BRFSS, 1999 NHANES, Powell 1994, Pratt et. al
47 Physical Inactivity and Overweight Trends Among Youth 1 in 7 youth ages 6 19 is overweight Children spend more time watching television in a year than they do attending school The Disappearing Walk to School 1 in 4 trips made by 5-15 year olds are for the journey to and from school. Only 10% of these trips are made by walking and bicycling. Of school trips one mile or less, about 28% are walk-based and less than 1% are bike-based. 47

Surface Transportation Policy Project Mean Streets 1997 report The PDI shows that the most dangerous places to walk are metropolitan areas marked by newer, low-density developments, where wide, high-speed arterial streets offer few sidewalks or crosswalks.
