		<title>Roundabouts on the Rise</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok here&#8217;s another short article from the July 2011 issue of Governing Magazine. Chances are you&#8217;ve seen more roundabouts and traffic circles over the past decade than ever before. The mayor of Carmel, Indiana envisions a city free of traffic lights by replacing them with roundabouts and traffic circles. Carmel was to have 60 intersection roundabouts by the end of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Yellow Page Waste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Trying to get through my magazine stack, I found this article in the July 2011 issue of Governing Magazine. Yes, slightly behind. Because receiving multiple volumes of unwanted yellow page books each year is a pet peeve of mine, I found it interesting. Even though I have followed the instructions to opt-out for multiple consecutive years, I still receive [...]]]></description>

		<title>Harvesting Locally</title>
		<description><![CDATA[During the January 10, 2012 Orange County Board of County Commissioners meeting, District 1 Commissioner Scott Boyd raised an issue related to water management that I found particularly interesting. He showed an aerial photo of a section of Horizon West within walking distance from my home. This track of land consists of a residence and a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Orange County 2012 Redevelopment Conference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A couple of days ago, I attended the Orange County 2012 Redevelopment Conference which featured some great speakers.  These were my favorite comments as well as some interesting statements: Galina Tachieva: Why do we need sprawl repair?  Exurban is too expensive to build and not sustainable environmentally. Must rethink the model for health and well-being.  We&#8217;ve been deprived [...]]]></description>

		<title>Governing Magazine: Advocates Say Housing Policy Discourages Mixed-Use Development</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found a version of this article in the December issue of Governing Magazine.  I&#8217;m posting a link to the online version.  It explains how federal policies limit the non-residential portion of projects, in effect limiting multi-use opportunities.  Due to codes and general fear of multi-use opportunities, we continue to build single-use developments, each segregated [...]]]></description>

		<title>Architecture No-No: Fake Element Applied In Fake Manner</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we begin a new year, I plan to begin two new series on my blog. The first will be Architecture No-Nos and will include (often blatant) design flaws found around us. The other will be Missed Opportunities. The missed opportunities often will apply to development that would have been perfectly suited for mixed uses. I&#8217;m no [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safe-To-Schools Intersection Study: County Road 535 &amp; Overstreet Road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The neighborhood school, Sunset Park Elementary, is on one side of this dangerous intersection, and the families it serves reside on the other. Though it was not designed for this (but should have been), children walk to school each weekday through the intersection. I&#8217;ve spent some time considering the design of this intersection. The link [...]]]></description>

		<title>Road Connectivity in Lakeside Village</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks, residents in Lakeside Village have come together again. They have been organizing to plea with county leaders to deny a request by Avatar Homes to remove the required southern connector road in Lakeside Village from the planned development. The planned development is a set of guidelines attached to the property [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pens!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I do like a good pen. It doesn&#8217;t have to be an expensive pen.  It just needs to feel nice and write well. One of my favorites is the Pentel Sign Pen.  This capped felt-tip is perfect for quick diagramming.]]></description>

		<title>Much Ado About Main</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most interesting urban renewal efforts occurred in my hometown of Rock Hill, South Carolina. As a young person, I remember visiting the Town Center Mall moreso than my peers because my mom&#8217;s office was in a 70&#8242;s shiny corporate-looking building on the end of the mall. Town Center Mall was actually built [...]]]></description>
