15. Other Land Use Responses
Way too many low income areas are concentrated making crime rates in the city inflate and gang activity rise. Breaking these areas up will help crime. Look at what New Haven, CT did with it's ghettos as an example of good planning.
Need better roads and services
There seems to be too much development on the periphery; development needs to occur in urbanized areas.
Need more stores; another Wal-Mart out closer to 301
Neighborhoods should be connected/interconnected so that neighbors do not need to leave one neighborhood to get to another. "Deep" development is needed to prevent Bragg Blvd-type development.
Land use needs to be higher density. Strip commercial with each their own points of access is out of control. There are loads of derelict lots in this study area that need to be reused or held to a certain condition standard.
Less government housing in Area 4

16. Mapping a Better Outcome
Creating a Community without Covering Old Ground

17. Not a Blank Slate, and Not Homogeneous, Either
Typically, we would start with overarching goals to help us guide the course of the study and its recommendations. Next, we would develop many scenarios to define directions for the study area, and refine them based on our initial interpretation of study goals.
This approach does not lend itself well to this particular study because:
Towns and Counties already have adopted visions, goals, and objectives
The study area is very diverse and complex, and does not lend itself well to generic goals
When generic goals are used, generic outcomes almost always result: “the lowest common denominator”

Create “Building Blocks”

Apply to Study Area
Turning the Normal Process on its Head
Use our knowledge of our own communities to create the best possible conservation areas, suburbs, towns, cities, downtowns, and other place types to create land use and transportation “building blocks” that we can apply to different parts of our diverse region.

19. A. Open Spaces Most Rural Preservation/Conservation-Minded
Doesn’t produce traffic demand
Doesn’t produce school demand
Doesn’t produce demand for public services like water/sewer
Not supportive of any alternative mode of travel

25. Apply Building Blocks to Map…
Discuss Land Use Types for Each Undeveloped (Hatched) Area
Write in (a) boundary of the area; and (b) the letter designation
Make additional notes, as needed, for specific instructions
