the @burkemuseum emails info on car parking that they send out, but not how to get there by bike or transit - with a brand new light rail station just a few blocks away?

how do we change this? Image
this is a LEED GOLD building! (yes, i know LEED is trash) Image
this is what the deutsches museum in munich shows for how to get there. transit *first* Image
berlin's pergamonmuseum? only lists low-carbon ways to get to the museum

transit, regional rail and long distance rail

not even a section on car parking Image
how hard would it be for the burke to put this online?

we have the following zero/low carbon options for visiting the museum!

1. we are 3 blocks north of the burke gilman

2. we are 2 blocks east of the U-district light rail

3. buses x/y/z all stop within 1/4 mile of museum Image
to be clear, the burke *does* have alternatives to driving, it's just not prioritized in how they contact people. zero/low carbon options should be the priority, not driving.

on top of this, patrons have to do the work Image

For #COP26: 26 climate actions cities should be taking, in order to make more resilient in face of climate change. in no particular order - just strategies I think cities should be adopting in order to both improve livability while adapting to realities of a warming world. Image
1. passivhaus mandates
PH is great, I've advocated it since training a decade ago. it’s an energy standard that ensures durability, comfort and resilience. It’s applicable for educational buildings, multifamily, offices, hospitals, museums, archives

passivhaustrust.org.uk/what_is_passiv…
Unlike the EU, there are no jurisdictions in the US that mandate energy requirements anywhere close to something like passivhaus. PH also provides fresh, filtered ventilation: critical during wildfires, in polluted environs. could be defense against airborne diseases like COVID

alright. mega 🧵 summarizing my closing keynote for vivre en ville's collectivites viables in montreal last week.

i crammed a lot in, probably too much - but was also trying to link it to presentations from prev. 2 days. unsure how successful i was, but it was fun.
the arc of my presentation is that in seattle, and likely most of north america, we do not build resource-light buildings, and have forgotten how to build livable districts. if you follow me here on the twitters, you know this is a *constant* topic of mine.
and we've also introduced a plethora of regulations, layers of bureaucracies, and processes designed to ensure we aren't building the most energy efficient buildings, the least carbon intensive ones, the most spatially efficient ones, the most livable ones, etc.

'In total the proposed [Roosevelt Station] rezones would increase the neighborhood’s capacity for development by over 600 housing units'

climate. arson.

buildingconnections.seattle.gov/2011/08/01/pro…
'The zoned capacity of over 40 dwelling units / net acre is in line with the 20 – 75 dwelling units / net acre found in demonstrated models of great TOD around transit stations in similar neighborhoods'

i can't believe planners wrote this.
'The zoning originally approved by DPD would allow about 350 new units of housing in the area around the station above and beyond what the current zoning allows.'

i wonder why we can't meet our climate goals?

would you live in a large family friendly cooperative, next to a park, with a variety of housing units (studios to 6-BR cluster apartments), with a car-free middle, playgrounds, massive balconies, and ample bike parking

like this?

common rooms all over the place - can be used for music rooms, meetings. a larger room is available for use by wider community.

guest rooms so you don't need larger apartments...

starting to think development in this country is really bad, you guys...
the land is owned by the city of bern

the developer is a swiss non-profit

the project procurement was through a design competition, not a 'request for proposal'

the brief called out for high quality projects, innovation in construction, mix of unit types and affordability.
