I recently spoke with The Times about the state of property development on green belt land. After studying the data at Searchland we found that developing just 1% would deliver more than double the national housing target.It’s a heavily polictical debate, but is largely missunderstood because the green belt designation doesn’t mean “green” at all!You can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e7AAzpm9

https://lnkd.in/g_Jrd3NHIn a time of historic funding allocation, land scarcity, affordability struggles and new sustainability goals, brownfields are poised to see an unprecedented revival. Law360's Real Estate Authority has spent months investigating the opportunities and challenges that lie in redeveloping contaminated land.

🏢 Brownfields, properties with potentially hazardous substances, are more common than you might think, with over 450,000 such sites scattered across the U.S. These sites pose complex challenges when it comes to development.🌎 The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Justice40 Initiative mark a historic turning point, offering substantial investments to support disadvantaged communities that have long borne the burden of pollution and discriminatory practices.🌆 But the real question is, is your community ready to seize these transformative opportunities? Are you equipped with the best practices to create successful and sustainable restoration and revitalization programs?🤝 Join us in this engaging discussion led by a multi-disciplinary panel of subject matter experts. They will share their invaluable experiences and insights on how to navigate the world of EJ, brownfield redevelopment, and community revitalization. Don't miss out on this chance to learn from the best!📺 Watch the full event and dive deeper into these critical issues here: https://lnkd.in/eTyq-EYJ

Today, Santa Monica Bay Foundation will host a program to discuss plans for improving Santa Monica Bay at 2:00 PM PST. Please realize that Santa Monica Bay is not a real bay, but an exposed California coast that is open to both north western to south eastern swells and gets surf and swell to over 20 feet on an annual basis many times per year. The distance across the opening of the bay is about 35 miles and the channel islands are distant from shore and act to focus swell energy more than block it. Also realize that SMB is well developed and is rimmed with structures, roads, artificial beaches and much evidence of encroachment. The development has blocked natural erosion that would replenish rock substrate to provide anchorage for kelp holdfasts for about 150 years. Much of the bay is lined with rip-rap and structures that do not really perform well.Sealevel rise is expected to increase so what is planned to be accomplished needs to be on a large scale, well planned, measured, and have an open data set that is owned, managed, and operated maintained by The County of Los Angeles Beaches and Harbors Commission, who should be the leaders in any planning and program so that permit process can be expedited.Current experts on this including all federal, local, and state agencies should report to the Los Angeles County agency created to own all of these type of projects along the coast of Los Angeles County.An important goal should be the protection and expansion of the biosphere and the economies that will support these activities.

ICYMI — August 2, 2023: The Minneapolis park system’s 55 miles of parkways and 13 lakes are not just iconic features – they also play a critical role as infrastructure. The parkways connect parks, lakes and creeks – the “backbone” of the park system – as well as neighborhoods throughout the city. The lakes are green infrastructure that provides important quality-of-life and environmental benefits for people, plants and wildlife.Yet for decades, dedicated funding for this infrastructure has been inadequate (for parkways) or non-existent (for stormwater management on parkland that impacts the lakes). After several years of deteriorating conditions, this infrastructure is at a critical point.Without adequate dedicated funding, the parkways are projected to become largely unusable in about 15 years. Without dedicated funding for stormwater management on parkland, lake water quality will decline due to impacts of polluted stormwater, which will in turn impact public use of the lakes.MPRB Commissioners approved resolutions on April 12, 2023, requesting the City of Minneapolis increase parkway funding and provide dedicated, sustainable funding to support the MPRB’s management of MPRB-owned stormwater infrastructure on park properties. Commissioner Meg Forney tells us more. https://lnkd.in/dq5BNtKB..........#rotary #rotaryclub #community #minneapolis #infrastructure

MARK YOUR CALENDARS NOW: Senator Löki Gale Tobin--the Alaska state senator representing District I, which includes #DowntownAnchorage--will be co-hosting an informational constituent meeting with AMATS (Municipality of Anchorage's transit planning authority) on the Seward-to-Glenn Planning Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study, on Saturday, Mar. 30, from 10 a.m. - noon, at the Fairview Rec Center (1121 E. 10th Ave). Scan the QR code in the graphic to provide comment.The Seward-to-Glenn PEL Study will evaluate options for improving travel between the Seward and Glenn Highways, connecting the Port of Alaska directly to our local highway network, and evaluating the impacts that those options have on the accessibility, walkability, and livability of surrounding neighborhoods potentially impacted by these changes. You can find the direct link to PEL Study's website by navigating to the linktr.ee in our bio, or by navigating to sewardglennconnection.com in your web browser. Draft studies on impacts for pedestrians, bicyclists, and other detailed alternatives are available at that website, and are open for public comment until Apr. 7. Major roads in #DowntownAnchorage that could be greatly impacted include 5th Ave. (which feeds directly into the Glenn Highway to the east), portions of 5th and 6th Aves. (where the Seward Highway converges downtown via Gambell St. and Ingra St.), and A St. and C St. between 1st and 6th Aves (leading out of the Port of Alaska toward the highway system). Not only could the outcomes of this study have major impacts for our neighborhood, it could also affect eastward neighborhoods as far as Mountain View, and as far south as Midtown. Because of the potential impacts that the outcome of this study could have across the city, it is vital that the PEL Study has as much public input as possible, to ensure that future planning efforts are responsive to citizen concerns and informed by community input. #DowntownTogether #PublicPolicy #LocalGovernment #ImprovingNeighborhoods #CityInfrastructure
