Event Details — Upper Kirby Livable Center Study Community Workshop

The Upper Kirby District is conducting a livable centers study, which includes workshops open to the public. The first of these will take place at the Upper Kirby Building on Wed., January 13th at 6:30pm (please see attached flyer).

From the Citizens’ Transportation Coalition eNews:

The Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) will host the first in a series of Livable Centers planning workshops for Upper Kirby on January 13th.

Livable centers are compact, walkable, mixed-use neighborhoods with a high-quality environment. This kind of land use features excellent local mobility and enables reliance on fewer automobiles.
The study area - bounded by US 59, Greenbriar, Alabama, and Buffalo Speedway - will be home to three stations on the new Universities light rail line. This is an excellent opportunity to get involved early in the study, learn about the neighborhood, and voice your vision for this growing community.
What: Livable Centers - Upper Kirby Study, Community Workshop I
When: Wednesday, Jan 13, 2010 from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm
Where: Upper Kirby District Building, 3015 Richmond, Suite 100, Houston, 77098 (map)
