Articles

"While I believe that promoting wellness, healthy living and removing barriers to mobility are vital goals for all cities, this article in no way endorses a one-size fits all solution or mandate from the state. Just as every city struggles with unique challenges, the solutions need to be flexible, thoughtful, and local in order to result in effective changes."
