SUMMARY:Public Involvement in the Transportation Decision-Making Process
DESCRIPTION:This is just one of many courses sponsored by the National Highway Institute. This one will be held in Atlanta on April 3-5\, 2012. Check the NHI web site for more information on this and other courses.  DescriptionPublic involvement is much more than public hearings. It involves creative thinking as well as the willingness and ability to interact openly and sensitively to the public's preferred forms of communication and participation. Public involvement is about reaching out to and involving the public in transportation decisionmaking. The public should have a role in every phase of decisionmaking\, including the design of the participation plan itself. Successful public involvement addresses the public's procedural\, psychological\, and substantive needs while gathering useful information. By focusing on interests--rather than positions--public involvement can become more meaningful as well as useful.  Upon completion of the course\, participants will be able to:    Describe U.S. DOT transportation decisionmaking processes\, including those that trigger the National Environmental Policy Act  Describe the relationship between public involvement and decisionmaking  Develop a public involvement plan with stakeholder assistance that includes attention to non-traditional populations as an evaluation component  Describe interest-based problem solving and the values that underlie it  Identify ways to enhance public involvement plans    Who Should AttendFederal\, State\, and local transportation agency staff\, metropolitan planning organization personnel\, transit operators\, consultants\, and others who are responsible for planning\, implementing\, or participating in any phase of the public involvement process.

Come one; come all to GPA’s Spring Conference 2012\, to be held at the Crowne Plaza Atlanta Perimeter at Ravinia in Dunwoody\, Georgia on March 21\, 2011.

The City has continued to grow and prosper as many well known shopping and mixed used developments have opened\, along with many of the Atlanta metro area’s top restaurants.  Doug Hooker the new Executive Director of the Atlanta Regional Commission will be our luncheon keynote speaker.

SUMMARY:Cents & Sensibility: Atlanta's Transportation Vision
DESCRIPTION:In 2012\, the 10-county Atlanta region (Cherokee\, Clayton\, Cobb\, DeKalb\, Douglas\, Fayette\, Fulton\, Gwinnett\, Henry and Rockdale) will vote on whether to pass a 1% sales tax. The revenue generated by this tax will be used to fund a list of transportation projects\, ranging from transit\, roads\, safety\, pedestrian and bike improvements\, and technology updates.

This is a free symposium that Georgia Tech’s Student Planning Association (SPA) offers annually in celebration of the American Planning Association's World Town Planning Day. This will be an exciting opportunity to hear and discuss the effects of the referendum before we go to vote in 2012.

SUMMARY:GT Professorial Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The School of City and Regional Planning at Georgia Tech is pleased to host Dan Immergluck for a lecture marking his promotion to professor: What's Next? Prognosis and Prospects for Housing and Urban Form After the Crisis  MORE INFORMATION  Parking available in Peters Parking Deck  AICP Certification Maintenance credits applied for.  There are no shortages of forecasts for how housing markets and urban development might change over the next decades as a result of the foreclosure crisis\, financial regulatory reform\, the restructuring of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac\, and other seismic shifts in financial markets and public policy. For many\, the volume and pace of change in recent years in this arena have been overwhelming. What do we know - or think we know -- about the future of housing markets\, housing finance\, and homeownership? What about prospects for rental housing? What will various changes in housing finance and public policy mean for our urban and suburban futures? Will the new financial structures and associated policy thrusts align with an agenda of sustainable urban development and planning or work against it? What about goals of social equity and efforts to provide decent housing for lower-income households? What policy choices lay ahead that will be pivotal in answering some of these questions?  Dan Immergluck conducts research on housing and real estate markets\, mortgage finance and foreclosures\, community reinvestment and fair lending\, neighborhood change\, and related public policy. He teaches courses in real estate finance\, housing policy and research methods. Dr. Immergluck has authored three books\, more than 30 articles in scholarly journals and scores of applied research and policy reports. He manages applied research projects at local and national levels. He has testified before Congress and state and local legislative bodies. His work has been cited in a wide variety of government and policy reports. Professor Immergluck has been frequently quoted and cited in the media\, including in the New York Times\, the Wall Street Journal\, the Washington Post\, Time Magazine\, USA Today and a wide variety of regional and local newspapers. His most recent book\, Foreclosed: High-Risk Lending\, Deregulation\, and the Undermining of America's Mortgage Market\, was reissued in paperback in 2011 by Cornell University Press.

SUMMARY:Designing and Operating Streets and Roads
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Department of Public Health’s Office of Injury Prevention\, the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety\, and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) are pleased to offer the third annual workshop on Designing and Operating Streets and Roads to Accommodate Older Drivers and Pedestrians.  The target audiences for this workshop are Georgia’s roadway designers\, traffic engineers\, and highway safety specialists. The workshop will be held at Atlanta’s Loudermilk Center from 8a.m.-4p.m. on Friday\, September 9th\, 2011. (Registration and continental breakfast will begin at 7:45a.m.\, and vouchers for the parking deck will be provided to all attendees.) This training is being offered in accordance with recommendations from the Governor’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan\, which has designated older driver safety as one of its key emphasis areas. Aging impacts a variety of skills and abilities necessary for safe driving. Many highway design and traffic control elements can be improved to better meet the aging population’s needs. Furthermore\, all road users can benefit from safety improvements that are designed with older drivers in mind.  Designing and Operating Streets and Roads to Accommodate Older Drivers and Pedestrians will familiarize participants with the physical\, perceptual\, and cognitive impairments that can impact the ability to safely navigate a vehicle\, and illustrate key strategies for improving safety and mobility for older roadway users. The workshop will highlight the relationship between the FHWA Highway Design Handbook for Older Drivers and Pedestrians and existing standards and guidelines in the areas of highway geometry\, operations\, and traffic control devices.  This workshop was designed for safety professionals who plan\, design\, review\, recommend\, and/or approve the use of enhanced design and traffic operational criteria for transportation projects. The workshop will be conducted by Gene Amparano and Mark Doctor\, safety engineers of the FHWA Office of Technical Services.  Photos and a description of last year’s workshop are posted on the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety website.  **THERE IS NO COST FOR THIS TRAINING\, BUT SPACE IS LIMITED\, AND REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!**   To accept this invitation\, please RSVP to Jennifer Curry or calling 404-657-2894.

SUMMARY:Planner's Network Chapter Meeting
DESCRIPTION:An official "organizing meeting" will be held on Thursday\, June 16th at 6:30 P.M. at the Central Library of the Atlanta-Fulton County Library System in the 2nd Floor Meeting Room. During this meeting\, we will be going in to greater detail about:    What a Planner's Network Chapter can be expected to do within a community  Some of the opportunities for action within Atlanta (specifically in regards to the proposed construction of a new Atlanta Falcon's stadium)\, and  The general structure of the type of Chapter that we would like to set up.    If some of you are still a little unsure about the benefits of membership within a Planner's Network Chapter\, below is a copy of the excellent e-mail that Moki Macias sent last month.  "Why a Planner's Network chapter for Atlanta?  A group of graduate students in the Georgia Tech School of City Planning have been engaged in social justice planning issuesfor the last several years -- but we realize that to become a powerful voice for progressive planning in Atlanta we must join together with a much broader network of residents\, practitioners\, and advocates who are engaged in this work\, as well as connect to others who are pushing forward these critical conversations across the country.  We know that Atlanta\, as many of you have in fact taught us\, has a long history of struggle--with both major injustices and hard-fought victories--around issues of equitable development\, affordable housing\, quality public services and infrastructure\, and public participation in the decisions that shape our neighborhoods\, public spaces\, and city as a whole. There are many informal and formal networks that have carried this work forward. The Planner's Network is another opportunity to knit together a wide range of people -- neighborhood leaders\, Grady nurses\, city planners\, MARTA riders\, students\, housing advocates -- that can share information\, collaborate on activities\, and frame issues through a progressive planning lens.  There are numerous issues right now that could benefit from the energies of such a network\, such as the proposed new Falcons Stadium\, which is going forward with remarkably little transparency or public engagement (particularly shocking after the experiences of Peoplestown and Lightening residents with the last two stadiums that were built in Atlanta!). We've attached a flyer about the upcoming Community Townhall on this issue - hope you can come out on the 29th!  Benefits of Membership    A platform for collective agendas\, calls to action\, and events related to racial\, economic\, environmental and social justice in Atlanta  Access to a network and listerve of local folks interested in progressive planning issues  Access to the national Planner's Network listserve\, events\, conferences\, and publications  Opportunities for leadership & skill-building"

SUMMARY:Real Estate Finance from Simple to Complex (CM Approved)
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will parse the fundamental components of real estate finance so that participants will better understand the financial pro formas that real estate developers present to planners and economic developers when seeking public approvals for projects.  Three finance exercises involving realistic real estate developments will then be conducted.  The first will demonstrate a simple project involving equity and debt but that does not involve public participation.  The second will be a project that requires a public-private partnership and the consequent effects on the finances of both parties.  The third will get a little more complicated as an urban redevelopment project involving not only a public-private partnership but also tax credits and tax increment financing\, demonstrating the impacts on the financial pro forma and the economic value of the investment to the developer and\, separately\, to the public entity.  This webcast is sponsored by the Economic Development Division.  REGISTER ONLINE

SUMMARY:Form-based Zoning (CM | TBD)
DESCRIPTION:Why Your City Planning is Pushing This!  REGISTER ONLINE or for more information call 770-813-3370  Form-based codes foster predictable built results and a high-quality public realm by using physical form and design (rather than separation of uses) as the organizing principle for the code. Form-based codes offer a powerful alternative to conventional zoning\, allowing communities to consider more than land use and density.  This half-day course is an interactive course\, answering the following questions by using examples from around the country as well as visiting a local site. The course will provide a basic understanding of form-based codes:    how they are different  how they can be applied  how they can help implement more sustainable communities    Course Cost:    $45     Government and Council Member  $65     Non-Member

SUMMARY:Complete Streets (CM | TBD)
DESCRIPTION:.Mobility is for Everyone!  REGISTER ONLINE or for more information call 770-813-3370  The streets of our cities and towns are an important part of our communities. They allow children to get to school and parents to get to work They bring together neighbor sand parents to get to work. They bring together neighbors and draw visitors to neighborhood stores. These streets ought to be designed for everyone whether young or old\, on foot or on bicycle\, in a car or in a bus –but too often they are designed only for speeding cars or creeping traffic jams.  Now\, in communities across the country\, a movement is growing to “complete” the streets. States\, cities\, and towns are asking their planners and engineers to build roads that are safer\, more accessible\, and easier for everyone. In the process\, they are creating better communities for people to live\, play\, work\, and shop.  Training provided by:Brad StraderPresident and Managing PartnerITE certified Professional Transportation Planner Chair\, ITE Transportation Planning Council  Course Cost:    $45 Government and Council Member  $65     Non-Member    You will learn:    What are “Complete Streets”  What do “Complete Streets” policies do  The many types of “Complete Streets”

SUMMARY:Rethinking Planning: Is There a Better Way
DESCRIPTION:Denver planner and this year’s Serenbe Institute Visiting Fellow\, Jeff Winston\, will present a lecture\, “Rethinking Planning:  Is There a Better Way\,” at 4:00 PM Saturday\, May 7 at the Serenbe Institute Studio.  It will be immediately followed by a reception at Brigitte and Shelton Stanfill’s house.  There is no charge and everyone is invited.  In more than 25 years of professional practice\, Winston Associates has completed more than 35 comprehensive plans—for towns\, cities and regions.  The time is right to take a fresh look at the current state of planning—how well it really works\, how it’s perceived by the general public\, and how can it be made more transparent\, understandable\, less expensive and actually used in day to day decision-making by communities. The question posed is: does this require modest adjustments to what we do today\, or do we need to reexamine our approach from top to bottom?

SUMMARY:Sustainable Atlanta Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:Sustainable Atlanta Roundtable: Public Health and the Environment  Speakers:    Raymond Lindholm\, Legal Research Fellow with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention   Michael Elliot\, Ph.D.\, School of City and Regional Planning\, Georgia Institute of Technology    Public health has been a factor in comprehensive planning since the Industrial Revolution\, when people looking for jobs caused overcrowding\, inadequate housing and overwhelmed public services. At the same time\, the factories providing those jobs were polluting the air and water\, requiring long working hours and employing children among other issues. All of these ingredients contributed to a poor health environment. Enter city planning.  Planning’s emphasis on public health has gone up and down over the last century. Today\, we are seeing a renewed interest as the cause and effect of well planned development decisions on improved public health are being reinforced by good research. Our speakers Michael Elliott\, Ph.D.\, School of City and Regional Planning\, Georgia Tech and Raymond Lindholm\, Legal Research Fellow with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention\, are well qualified to lead our discussion of these subjects.  The Sustainable Atlanta Roundtable is generally hosted on the first Friday of each month; however\, please check this site for updates as occasional scheduling changes do occur.  Cost:    Southface Member Discount $5 off  Students (payable at door with valid student ID) $10  Online Registration $15  AIA Members Seeking CEUs $20    More information on their website at:http://www.southface.org/get-involved/attend-event/sustainable-atlanta-roundtable

SUMMARY:YPG: Historic Fourth Ward Park Tour/Beltline Update
DESCRIPTION:All GPA planners are invited to our next GPA/YPG event on Wednesday\, March 30th at the Historic Fourth Ward Park in Atlanta.  The Historic Fourth Ward Park is a 35-acre greenspace located at 680 Dallas Street\, roughly between North Avenue and Freedom Parkway\, near City Hall East and the Masquerade. It is the first new park built as a part of the Atlanta BeltLine.  This event is a little more interactive than our previous events since we’ll be on site at the park and able to see the results of recent planning efforts in Atlanta.  The Agenda:    6:00 – Meet on the north end of the park above the fountain.  6:15 – Kevin Burke begins our guided tour of the park.  Upon completion\, Ryan Gravel will give us an update on the BeltLine.  After the speakers have concluded\, we’ll head over to Bookhouse Pub (about 2 blocks away on Ponce) to grab a drink with our fellow planners.     We are pursuing AICP CM credits for this event and have two very knowledgeable speakers lined up:    Kevin Burke\, senior landscape architect at Atlanta Beltline Inc.\, will be taking us on a tour of the park and explaining its unique features. Kevin has more than 29 years of professional experience on a range of institutional\, roadway\, college and university\, and park projects.  Prior to joining ABI\, Kevin worked for a number of years on the “Big Dig” in Boston.  Ryan Gravel\, whose joint master’s thesis in Architecture and City Planning from Georgia Tech in 1999 was the original vision for the Atlanta BeltLine\, will be giving us an update on BeltLine planning as well as implementation.  Eight years of his subsequent work as a volunteer and later in the nonprofit and government sectors was critical to the BeltLine’s success\, which is now a $2+ billion public-private initiative in the early stages of implementation.  Now practicing Urban Design at Perkins+Will\, Ryan is Design Manager for the firm’s BeltLine Corridor Design contract\, which will determine the character and design details for the trail\, transit guideway\, stations\, access points\, public spaces\, public art\, streetscapes\, lighting\, plants and materials.     If you’d like more information about the park\, please visit http://www.h4wpc.org/.  See you on the 30th!

SUMMARY:Georgia Water Planning Workshop (CM | 5.0)
DESCRIPTION:The Georgia Water Planning Workshop is a first collaboration between the Georgia Association of Water Professionals and the Georgia Chapter of the American Planning Association.  The Workshop will cover a range of topics and is divided into two parts. The fist part of the Workshop includes an historical overview of water in Georgia\, specifically focused on how water has facilitated growth and development throughout the State over time. A summary overview of the how water\, wastewater\, and stormwater infrastructure is built\, operated and maintained will then be presented for purposes of putting into context\, the issues and variables that affect water/wastewater/stormwater managers.  The first part will be wrapped up with a presentation of the water situation facing Georgia today\, with specific attention on recent legislation and how water supply/quality could impact future growth and development.  The second part of the Workshop includes a group of speakers (some Planners and some water/wastewater/stormwater managers) who will outline their experiences of how Planners and water/wastewater/stormwater managers work together to make growth and development decisions.  A panel of speakers will then answer questions and present their views on better ways for Planners and water/wastewater/stormwater managers to work together to grow and develop our living spaces more sustainably.  Session I:  Georgia’s Water History (Presented by Jack Dozier)Session I will provide a brief review of water in Georgia\, specifically focused on how water has facilitated growth and development throughout the State over time.  This presentation will include a discussion of the evolution of environmental legislation\, what inspired that legislation\, and how it in turn changed our approach to growth.  The presentation will highlight the need for environmental protection and economic growth to go hand-in-hand\, and not one at the expense of the other\, to enable us to enjoy a quality of life unparalleled at any time in history.  Session II: Water\, Wastewater and Stormwater System Infrastructure (Presented by Pam Burnett and Ellen Heath)Session II will provide an overview of how water\, wastewater and stormwater infrastructure is built\, operated\, and maintained. Included in this session will be a presentation of the issues that water managers face including multi-jurisdictional watershed management\, reduced water availability\, higher energy costs\, reduced revenues due to water conservation\, more stringent water treatment regulations\, and customer affordability/rate structures.  Session III: The Water Situation Today (Presented by Katie Kirkpatrick and David Ashley)Session III will focus on the water situation facing Georgia today\, with specific emphasis on water supply\, water quality\, and how water availability could impact future growth and development throughout the State.   Included in this presentation is a discussion on the allocation of water among three competing states (Georgia\, Alabama and Florida); the Judge Magnuson decision on the use of water from Lake Lanier; and the Statewide Water Plan\, and what it means for Planners.  Session IV: Working with Planners (Janeane Giarrusso\, Donna Joe\, Garnett Brown\, Mike Hopkins)During Session IV\, representatives from different water managers will present their experiences of how they work with Planning and Development Departments both on a daily and long term planning basis.  Examples of “what works” and “what doesn’t work” when collaborating among land use planners and infrastructure providers will be presented. Examples of multi-departmental coordination and collaboration will be presented as a model for sustainable water infrastructure development.  Session V: Collaboration Opportunities for a More Sustainable Future (Panel of Speakers from previous Sessions)A panel of speakers from the previous Sessions will answer questions from the audience and present their views on opportunities for Planners and water managers to work better together. Some uestions that will be raised to facilitate discussion include:    How frequently should Planners and water managers interact?   What land use regulations/policies can help provide for a more sustainable water development pattern?   The cost of energy is a water manager’s biggest cost; how can we facilitate more sustainable infrastructure energy development patterns?    Is concurrency planning a model for Georgia?

SUMMARY:Integrating Transportation Options for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:A Lifelong Community is a community where individuals can live throughout their lifetime; they provide a full range of options to residents\, ensuring a high quality of life for all. Lifelong mobility and accessibility provides access and transportation to people of all ages and abilities. Real mobility begins inside the home and carries throughout the entire built environment. So how do we build on the framework of current development patterns to ensure older adults have access to critical goods and services?    This workshop will examine several key components of Lifelong Communities from a transportation standpoint. These principles\, and how they are employed by local governments today\, will provide participants with ideas and resources to make their communities more livable for all residents.    AICP CM Credits are being pursued for this course.    REGISTER NOW ONLINE AT: http://llctransportation.eventbrite.com
