Re-Defining Exurbia. Greybelts: The answer may lie in thinking big. The government’s release of greybelt land proposes a common-sense approach to edge of city planning by focusing housing delivery on areas that are previously developed. Can we use this logical starting point and stretch it a bit further? Written by Lucas Lawrence https://bit.ly/4epARsM

In urban development, the symbiotic relationship between public transport and property values emerges as a central player. As cities grow denser and the demand for efficient mobility escalates, the impact of public transport on real estate prices has become a topic of burgeoning significance. Come with us as we take a deep dive into the multi-dimensional benefits of public transport for property values, considering factors that influence this impact while exploring the value of convenience, accessibility, types of public transport and the quality of the transit experience. Although the connection between public transport and property value is generally positive, it's not an absolute rule. Related elements, including transit quality and localised market dynamics can reshape this relationship. Amid the evolving urban landscapes, comprehending the intricate ties between public transport and property values remains imperative for planners, developers and us investors.

Exciting Milestone for Baltimore: Rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge Proud to share a significant update for our beloved city posted yesterday. The Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) and the Maryland Department of Transportation State Highway Administration (SHA) have secured key federal environmental approvals for the reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge. The Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Categorical Exclusion (CE) classification and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval for the I-695 Francis Scott Key Bridge Rebuild Project marks a crucial step forward. This project, led by the unwavering efforts of MDTA, SHA, and the leadership of Governor Wes Moore, will restore a vital link in our interstate system, with significant positive impacts on our community and economy. This approval ensures that the replacement bridge, built within the former bridge’s right-of-way, will have the same capacity of four travel lanes without significant impacts on community, natural, or cultural resources. Key Highlights of the Project: - No significant impacts on planned growth or land use. - No relocations of people or businesses. - Travel patterns will remain consistent with pre-collapse conditions. - No impact on historic or recreational resources. The MDTA has also released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a $75 million General Engineering Consultant contract. This step further ensures the seamless execution of the project, incorporating strong community engagement and compliance with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise goals. As a Baltimore native, I'm incredibly optimistic about the future this rebuild promises for our city. It symbolizes resilience, connectivity, and progress. Stay tuned for more updates and community events related to the bridge's reconstruction. #BaltimoreStrong #FrancisScottKeyBridge #Transportation #Infrastructure #Community #Progress #Resilience #Rebuild #MDTA #SHA #GovernorWesMoore #FHWA #EnvironmentalApproval
