THRILLED TO HAVE JUST COMPLETED RECORDING AN EPISODE

FOR THE PLANNING COMMISSION PODCAST

The hour flew by talking about Universal Design and how it delivers dignity for people with disabilities.

I also explained how Universal Design is the most sustainable, flexible, durable, resilient and cost-effective approach to the built environment.

The hosts, Chris Danley and Don Kostelec, really get it. They introduce walkability, Americans with Disabilities Act compliance and access for all into every project they work on.

Chris is a recognized national expert in Walkability and Health Impact Assessments, is co-creator of the Looking Glass walk audit training academy, crafted the Activity Connection Plan™ and Healthy Conditions Assessment models.

He has conducted numerous planning and assessment projects throughout Idaho, North Carolina, Utah and other states.

He also works with Blue Zones as a subject matter expert in the Built-Environment throughout the United States. inkedin Twitter

Don is a 20-year professional in transportation planning, health analysis and comprehensive planning. 

His work extends from Alaska to Florida and California to New York, but is focused in the Intermountain West. He is an avid walker and has been since the age of 1.

Don is known as a provocative speaker who helps communities better engage the design profession for more equitable and safer street design that prioritizes the safety of people over the movement of cars.

Look for the episode to drop before the end of November at:
