The 2007 Building Communities Conference set for Thursday June 14th at McWane Science Center in downtown Birmingham. This year's focus and session title is State of the Practice in Thoroughfare Design: Rural, Suburban and Urban Applications. If you have any interest in roadway design or corridor planning and development you don't want to miss this session. We have an excellent program that will include quality speakers, case studies and participant interaction (see agenda included in attached brochure). Please register before May 30th.
Important meeting Thursday, May 3 from 6:00 to 7:00 PM at the Birmingham Botantical Gardens when the consultant hired by the cities of Homewood and Mountain Brook will discuss alternatives to the proposed elevated highway. Ian Lockwood of the urban planning firm Glatting Jackson will speak. His approach is from the perspective of land use and urban planning--and understanding that the solutions we adopt today may have far reaching and unintended consequences tomorrow for our city and our area. His emphasis is on sustainable, environmentally friendly solutions sensitive to context.
