Last month, Smart Growth America released study findings of economic benefits to communities that develop Complete Streets. Listen to the findings and learn the case studies here as Van Nuys Neighborhood Council helps shape City of Los Angeles’ Complete Streets plans along Van Nuys Blvd.
The VNNC needs YOU to join local academics, budget advocates, Van Nuys small businesses, historic preservationists, ecological conservationists and community-centric land-use advocates to help shape Van Nuys Blvd into a complete street. California’s climate laws and innovative local leadership offer us a once in a lifetime opportunity to create a strong community designed for climate and economic resiliency.
In March, the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council hosted its first sustainable planning summit to inform the community about City of Los Angeles initiatives and local quality of life advocacy driven by California’s climate laws. This post continues dialog that began at the summit.
