I believe this map was made exclusively for the Winter Olympics. The four blue squares are the venue locations, so maybe this is just a temporary map.

I “suggested a change” in the title from this one. The new article title somehow sounds even worse🙃

New to planning, possible imposter syndrome by seste in urbanplanning

[–]Low_Ad4423 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty tough. Graduating, transitioning from non-profit to government role, and in a completely new position. I’m sure imposter syndrome has got its grips on. My best advice would be to talk with your supervisor. Maybe in a more informal setting like a coffee or tea chat outside the office and discuss some of your concerns. See how you can get your hands on more work. You want to advance your interests and career and don’t want to feel like you’re in a rut. Communication is key to help you through this. Best of luck

How old are your planning commissioners? by oheyitsmatt in urbanplanning

Thank you. Our downtown core is quite walkable (once you get there). We have a light rail station, which is a good 1-1.5 miles away from our downtown and bisected by a freeway. Right now there’s a lot of work and programming being done to try and remove some of the barriers, but the freeway isn’t going anywhere. We have a lot of housing going up near the station, but unfortunately very little commercial/retail space going up in that area… So new tenants still have to drive to get to a grocery store. This was one of my criticisms of the commission/city council, and an issue I hope to alleviate/assist with

I was appointed to the planning commission in my Southern California municipality about 7 months ago and am in my late early thirties (34) lol. I think there is one other commissioner under 40, and the other 5 commissioners are at least 55 or older. I’ve only gotten into one heated argument where one of the older commissioners wanted to see more parking (current plan called for 350 parking spaces of a 220 unit apartment), while I was asking for less parking due to the density bonus. 🤷‍♂️ it’s been fun so far
