Last night (2015-06-29) a public input meeting was held on the west side in Richmond Park (1101 Richmond St. NW) concerning a proposal to perform a road diet trial on Alpine Ave. This diet includes the recently resurfaced section of Alpine between Leonard St. and Richmond St. This is a trial which would be put in place this summer and observed to determine the lane configuration that would be used for next section of the road to be resurfaced [from Richmond to Ann St].

These news items in addition to announcements that the DASH downtown circulator will be reconstituted and redesigned. As well as promises of car-sharing services in downtown - but nothing specific yet. And the Michigan St. Corridor plan was officially adopted.

As development spreads into the west side we are seeing the rehabilitation of the Bridge St. corridor. These means more pedestrians and users of non-automotive modes of transportation. In response the city is starting to talk about how to improve the corridor for all users.

There is no shortage of comments aghast at the cost of the new urban-core apartments. They are even referred to as housing for the "supra-rich". These apartments tend to start at $800 for a studio, $1,000 for a one-bedroom unit, and $1,200 and up for a two-bedroom unit.
But lets break down the numbers. Ball-park estimates of what percentage of net income someone should spend on housing varies between 25% and 40%. The mortgage agencies Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FMCC) use a 28% of income cut-off.
