Denver's landmark integrated land-use and transporation plan has been approved.
"In the past, city planners have usually treated transportation and land use separately. The right hand of public-works planners has not been overly aware of what the left hand of other city planners was doing. But in Blueprint Denver's case, the city's Public Works department pitched in to the planning effort, as have many council persons, 46 members of an advisory committee, and many hundreds of other Denver citizens who appeared at public hearings, open houses in each of the 13 council districts, and at a great number of impassioned neighborhood discussions... Blueprint Denver also specifies that a substantial revision of Denver's zoning code is in order. The plan itself does not change any zoning anywhere, but it has set in motion the process to streamline the current zoning code, which is monstrously complicated and encyclopedic."
