Main Street, let’s learn from our successes. We could still do better! [The APA's] “Johnson explained that planning is something that has outcomes not seen for several years or decades. So to convince communities that planning is worth doing, it’s useful to have good examples to point to.” It did not take decades to see outcomes of upzoning the South University area. Many regret those outcomes. Our award-winning outcomes, like South Main Street, were planned before the recently proposed zoning amendments.
Decades ago, we planned to sustain the unique and complex character of our City. Will future planning outcomes yield more or fewer City awards for great streets and great places?
