Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

Tolling a street in Dallas

According to "Highland Park considers plan to make Dallas drivers pay to use stretch of Mockingbird," from the Dallas Morning News, that town is fed up with "through drivers" from Dallas.

Another way to deal with this, because you have to balance regional mobility with more local concerns, is to do HOV-2 on key non-freeway through/commuter corridors during rush periods.
