Hopefully the Englewood streetscape project be a successful example of how making a retail corridor a safer and more pleasant place to walk, bike, ride transit , and shop can foster a most peaceful, prosperous, and vibrant community.
By encouraging families to send their children to school by transit rather than driving them there, we'd also get a safer, healthier, and more efficient city.
While our city's TOD ordinance has spurred more transit-friendly development in wealthy and gentrifying neighborhoods, it has done relatively little to encourage investment in parts of the city that need it the most.
