Walkable Streets provides the following professional services

 

 Writing and amending land development codes -- particularly those that emphasize compact, walkable, pedestrian-oriented, quality of life objectives.

 Writing and amending Comprehensive Community Plans -- particularly land use, urban design, transportation, solid waste, recreation, and environmental conservation.

 Bicycle, greenway and pedestrian planning, including a walking and bicycling audit in the field.

 Giving locally-tailored motivational speeches (20 minutes to 90 minutes in length) to elected officials, citizens, professional staff. The speeches I give:

  Road to Ruin: Traffic Congestion, Urban Sprawl, and Quality of Life (a speech about my book, requiring approximately 40-60 min.)

  Big Box Retail: What can a community do about it? (a speech about Big Box strategies, requiring approximately 30 min.)

  Healthy People, Healthy Streets, Healthy Communities: Fighting Obesity and Other Health Problems with Urban Design (40 min.)

  Protecting Neighborhood Quality of Life (30 min.)

Select which speech is best for you, and schedule me for a speech by sending email to dom@walkablestreets.com

 

 Preparing and revising regulations, plans and policies in order to use "plain English" instead of "legalese" or bureaucratic jargon.
