Planning
How should council bring the 15-minute districts described in the City Plan to life?
Context:
A key component of the City Plan is the creation of districts that allow people to easily complete their daily needs, such as getting to work, picking up groceries, going to the park, or running errands, within a 15-minute travel time by walking, cycling, or riding transit.
