Commission reviews Regent Street preferred design; staff told to prioritize pedestrian crossings and off-street bike connections City staff presented a preferred "community main street" design for Regent Street aimed at wider sidewalks, midblock bump-outs, parking as a pedestrian buffer and accommodations for emergency access. Commissioners supported the overall direction but pressed staff for stronger crossing treatments, clearer delivery/curb-management plans and the best off-street bike connections to the Southwest Path.

Madison is transforming Regent Street into a vibrant community hub with wider sidewalks and improved pedestrian safety, but will it meet the needs of cyclists too?

Communities do not need more programs. They need systems where the right choices are the easy choices, where impact is visible, and where participation is structural.

That is the difference between campaigns and infrastructure.

Imagine a neighborhood where:
→ Environmental impact is visible to everyone
→ Healthy living is designed in, not opted into
→ Neighbors are connected, not just co-located

That is not a vision. It is infrastructure.

Murfreesboro workshop advances updates to city design guidelines, adds flexible open-space and material standards Consultants and city staff previewed revisions that would recategorize formal open space by land use, add an "enhanced landscape" option, separate design rules for townhomes and industrial buildings, limit metal-panel coverage by quality standards, and ban flat canopies for fuel stations and car washes. No formal vote was taken; the revisions will move to Planning Commission and then to City Council for acknowledgement.

Murfreesboro is revamping its design guidelines with fresh open-space rules and new standards for townhomes and industrial buildings—could this reshape the city's future?

Planning commission endorses objective design standards for Roseville residential infill The Planning Commission unanimously recommended the City Council consider and adopt objective design standards for residential infill (file PL25-0450). Staff said the standards close a gap where state law and project types now require only objective standards and where older neighborhoods lack the specific-plan standards that guide newer areas.

Roseville's Planning Commission is paving the way for a vibrant, livable community by recommending new design standards for residential development that protect neighborhood aesthetics!
