  84.            &lt;div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A new study reveals that increased speed limits on interstate freeways have a rippling effect, raising the number of speeding-related crashes in adjacent neighborhoods.&lt;/p&gt;
  85. &lt;p&gt;As Kea Wilson explains in Streetsblog USA, “In an analysis of three U.S. highway segments whose maximum speeds were increased at some point in the last decade — I-85 in Georgia, I-84 in Oregon and I-75 and I-69 in Michigan — researchers found that all reported significant new "clusters" of speeding-related crashes within a one-mile radius of the interstate.”&lt;/p&gt;
  86. &lt;p&gt;The findings belie the popular belief that interstate speeds don’t affect people traveling on other roads — including pedestrians and cyclists who never enter freeways. According to Dr. C.Y. David Yang, president and executive director of the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety, “similarly to the ‘distraction hangover’ that drivers experience even after they stop using a cell phone behind the wheel, motorists don't immediately register just how quickly they need to slow down after they exit the interstate — especially when local roads themselves are designed like highways where it's perfectly fine to go fast.”&lt;/p&gt;
  87. &lt;p&gt;Wilson points out that interstate routes and speed limits are controlled at the state level, giving local communities little say in the process. “While Yang stops short of saying that speed limits should never be raised on the highway, he says it's critical that stakeholders like state, county, and city departments of transportation communicate in advance of those increases, so the locals can take action to slow drivers down, like modifying road designs.”&lt;/p&gt;

  159.            &lt;div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Safety improvements are coming to a major street in Oakland, California, reports Kristin J. Bender in The Mercury News, after 18 or more pedestrians were killed on International Boulevard in the last two years. “Improvements are being funded by a $400,000 grant from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and $1.8 million from the city of Oakland, officials said.”&lt;/p&gt;
  160. &lt;p&gt;The project joins other efforts to make Bay Area streets safer and more connected for pedestrians, transit users, and cyclists. In San Mateo County, the local transportation authority plans to improve sidewalk crossings and bike and pedestrian routes that connect to Caltrain, BART, and other public transit. “That could include building pathways over or under the elevated Caltrain tracks and adjacent Highway 101 corridor to better connect the downtown area to the city’s job center and biotech hub in its former industrial core to the east.”  &lt;/p&gt;
  161. &lt;p&gt;Bender notes that “last week, the Regional Network Management Council, a coalition of Bay Area transit agencies, earmarked more than $18 million for eight projects under the Bus Accelerated Infrastructure Delivery program, commonly known as ‘BusAID.’” The program is designed to improve bus speed and reliability and make key transit corridors safer for all users.&lt;/p&gt;

  236.            &lt;div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a pilot program set to begin by the end of the year, &lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/city-profile/los-angeles" class="planopedia-link"&gt;Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt; Metro will install AI-powered cameras on transit buses to help identify and ticket cars illegally parked in bus lanes.&lt;/p&gt;
  237. &lt;p&gt;The program will launch with a 60-day ‘warning period,’ reports Colleen Shalby in the Los Angeles Times. “The program, designed by technology company Hayden AI, is meant to improve bus times, increase ridership and address mobility concerns.”&lt;/p&gt;
  238. &lt;p&gt;Metro says the cameras only record when a potential violation is observed. “Once a recording is made, it will be submitted to L.A. Department of Transportation where a human will assess whether a ticket should be issued.”&lt;/p&gt;
  239. &lt;p&gt;According to Shalby, “The use of video imaging to enforce parking violations was legalized in 2021. Video that does not include a parking violation must be destroyed within 15 days, the law states.”&lt;/p&gt;

  311.            &lt;div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;A proposed state bill in the Colorado legislature would wield the state’s financial power to encourage transit-oriented development (TOD).&lt;/p&gt;
  312. &lt;p&gt;As Andrew Kenney explains for CPR News, HB24-1313 would cut off access to the state’s Highway Users Tax Fund (HUTF), which funds transportation infrastructure, to cities that don’t allow dense development near transit. “The bill sets a target number of housing units for each city, based on how many miles of high-frequency bus and train lines cross the city. The cities would then have to ensure that they have ‘zoning capacity’ for that level of &lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/definition/density" class="planopedia-link"&gt;density&lt;/a&gt; near transit lines — basically, that their own development rules aren’t preventing builders from reaching those targets.”&lt;/p&gt;
  313. &lt;p&gt;The bill would apply to cities that have high-frequency bus or rail service and includes some incentives including tax credits for &lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/definition/affordable-housing-0" class="planopedia-link"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/definition/affordable-housing" class="planopedia-link"&gt;affordable housing&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  314. &lt;p&gt;Critics of the bill say it amounts to regulatory overreach and could pose a danger to Coloradans traveling on local roads if cities have to cut back on maintenance and services like snow plowing. “If the HUTF provision were to be removed, the law still could include legal requirements for cities to revise their zoning, but the state would have one less option to gain compliance.”&lt;/p&gt;

  385.            &lt;div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Grand Rapids, Michigan city officials unanimously approved a package of zoning reforms aimed at increasing the housing supply, reports Michael Kransz in M Live. The city aims to add more than 14,000 new housing units by 2027 to meet rising demand.&lt;/p&gt;
  386. &lt;p&gt;According to Kransz, “The broad set of changes apply to residential neighborhoods and will remove some city approvals needed for developers to create &lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/definition/multi-family-housing" class="planopedia-link"&gt;multi-family housing&lt;/a&gt; developments with six or less apartments in those neighborhoods. It will also remove some city approvals needed to build smaller, independent residential dwelling units attached or detached to homes.” The new rules also eliminate &lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/definition/parking-requirements" class="planopedia-link"&gt;parking requirements&lt;/a&gt; for new housing with less than six units and raises the number of unrelated people that can live in a household. City leaders hope these changes will create more opportunities for smaller, &lt;a href="https://www.planetizen.com/definition/infill-development" class="planopedia-link"&gt;infill development&lt;/a&gt; projects.&lt;/p&gt;
  387. &lt;p&gt;Grand Rapids planners are developing a Community Master Plan to guide development over the next two decades.&lt;/p&gt;

  460. &lt;p&gt;“New short-term rentals can also operate with on-site management in parts of the city labeled "heritage districts" in Haggard Park and Downtown,” according to Jones.&lt;/p&gt;
  461. &lt;p&gt;Short-term rentals listed on platforms like Airbnb are a contentious issue in many localities where the rise of STRs has precipitated a reduced housing stock and higher housing costs.&lt;/p&gt;
