Envisioning Stratford


From the online environmental magazine www.grist.org there is an article "10 ways to kick the offshore-oil habit".
Number 5 on the list addresses sprawl: 5. Smarter land use Congress could direct (and help fund) local government efforts to update zoning and land-use regulations in ways that encourage compact development compatible with transit service and friendly to walkers and bikers.
