Do it Here, You Can Do it Anywhere! Complete Streets in Missouri

Speakers: Ed Kraemer, Co-Chair, Lee’s Summit City Health Education Advisory Board; Michael Park, City Traffic Engineer, City of Lee’s Summit, MO; Marlene Nagel, Community Development Director, Mid-America Regional Council.

(2 hour session) Just six years ago, Missouri had only three Complete Streets policies. Now the state has more than 20 Complete Streets policies at the local, regional and statewide level, and has been identified as one of the leaders in the nationwide Complete Streets movement. All six of the state’s six largest cities have now adopted Complete Streets policies; citywide Complete Streets policies cover over 1.4 million of the state’s residents. At the metropolitan planning organization level, Complete Streets policies cover more than half of the state’s residents. How were these policies created and adopted? What were the strategies used by advocacy groups, agencies and local citizens? What challenges did they face in creating and adopting policies? How did they overcome the objections? How successful have the policies been? What challenges are advocates, citizens and agencies facing now? Get a take-home list of strategies, ideas and examples.

Sustainability and Net Zero Energy Studies with DoD Clients

Speakers: David Mechtly, Project Manager, now with HDR, Inc.; Mark Imel, Energy Services Technical Director, HDR, Inc. Moderator: Damian Kelly, Technical Director and Project Manager, HDR, Inc.

The federal government has, through a series of public laws, executive orders and presidential memorandums, set out an ambitious mandated program to address energy/water/waste/greenhouse gas reduction, a reduced dependence on fossil fuel, and increased usage in alternative fuels for federal agencies. The panelists from the Defense Distribution Center-Susquehanna and HDR share their experiences in accomplishing the mandates while integrating sustainability and net-zero energy planning at a Defense Logistics Agency installation over the past year. Sustainability topics discussed include sustainability components, component support activities, and a capital investment strategy and implementation plan. Net Zero Energy topics include energy reduction measures, “right-sizing” the GSA fleet using combinatorial optimization, recommending grid/islanded-connected micro-grid architecture/control, providing the resulting renewable energy solution, discussing feasible funding mechanisms, and incorporating all aspects of Net Zero into an implementation plan.

Advances in GIS for Smart Growth — Horizontal and Vertical

Speakers: Jon Harrison, Senior Consultant for Local Government Solutions, ESRI; Councilmember, City of Redlands, CA; Matthew Baker, Product Engineer, ESRI; Eric Wittner, 3D GIS Specialist, ESRI

Whether it’s appealing, vibrant infill and retail revitalization, complete streets and public spaces, traffic calming, or a more extensive network of safe bike routes and pedestrian trails – using GIS in 2D and 3D can make a difference. Like the broader toolbox of smart-growth concepts and strategies, the techniques and capabilities of GIS are advancing and emerging. GIS can intertwine complex details of demographic, geographic and urban design factors that communities can use to easily analyze and visualize the implications of alternative development scenarios. With GIS we can 'see' what and how possible solutions work.
