2020 Year in Review

2020

YEAR IN REVIEW

Friends, We hope that you are well and staying safe. It has been a tumultuous year and one that shows how we must work together for a more sustainable and equitable future. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we campaigned for access to greenspace and safe, open streets for people. We made a rapid pivot to produce high-quality online events and webinars, and decided to close our physical office for up to a year. Be sure to note our new mailing address.

As a team, we had many conversations regarding the demonstrations for racial justice and equity and are committed to centering racial equity in our work. We released a statement on our commitment to fight for racial equity and a Call to Action for Sustainability and Equity. We continue to work to identify our biases, collaborate with a diverse set of partner organizations, and try to uplift marginalized voices in the smart growth community.

We’ve continued our high pace of advocacy, expanded our partnerships, and capitalized on our relationships with decision makers to win more affordable housing, more transit-oriented development, better bus service, and safer streets. But with less than 10 years to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions, we must push our region even harder. Bill Pugh recently joined the team as our Senior Policy Fellow to lead our climate campaign, and we hope you will join us in this critical fight.

The good news is that our smart growth solutions are also climate solutions.

Thank you for your support!

The Coalition for Smarter Growth advocates for walkable, bikeable, inclusive, and transit-oriented communities as the most sustainable and equitable way for the Washington, DC region to grow and provide opportunities for all.

We believe in the strength of partnerships and our victories would not be possible without our many partners across all sectors. Here are a few of our coalitions: We organized Montgomery for All, a grassroots group advocating for progressive updates to the county’s general plan. We co-founded Rise Prince George’s to improve access to economic opportunities with transit-oriented development (TOD) and helped form Maryland Advocates for Sustainable Transportation (MAST). We coordinate the DC Housing Priorities Coalition, and support Ward3Vision, which advocates for TOD, and an inclusive Ward 3 and city. We helped form Fairfax Healthy Communities with conservation, housing, climate, transportation, and racial equity organizations and are part of Liveable Alexandria, committed to affordable housing, TOD, transit, and safe street design. We are leaders in the Virginia Conservation Network, focusing on land use, transportation reform, housing, and climate. Finally, we team with business leaders in the MetroNow coalition, which won dedicated Metro funding and campaigns for bus transformation.

2020’s top stories

2 1

DC’s Comprehensive Plan Over the past four years, we’ve worked to ensure DC’s Comp Plan update creates a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable city. While we won the Framework Element putting housing first, especially around transit, we’ve had to fight for the rest of the plan. For the first time, it would set specific affordable housing goals for each part of the city, even exclusive upper Northwest. We’ve pushed all year for Council action, with hearings finally taking place in November.

3

More housing for Montgomery Many of Montgomery’s transit centers have been under a housing moratorium due to school overcrowding, even though most new students come from turnover of existing single family homes. The moratorium pushed new growth away from transit and job hubs. CSG’s Maryland Advocacy Manager, Jane Lyons, helped guide new recommendations as a member of a community advisory team and collaborated with parents and neighbors to end the counterproductive housing moratorium.

4

Courageous Conversations We partnered with Kaiser Permanente, Challenging Racism, and a diverse planning committee of Black community leaders to host a series of courageous conversations on housing, land use, and the history of redlining and segregation in Montgomery County. Over a hundred community members participated in facilitated discussions about how exclusionary policies impact who can live where, and what can be done to create more welcoming neighborhoods.

Active transportation Together with George Mason University and our partners, we hosted a successful 3-part webinar series highlighting active transportation in Northern Virginia.

Local officials, transportation and health professionals, and community advocates tuned in to discuss new Virginia laws making it safer for biking and walking, COVID-19’s impact on local trails and bikeshare, and the challenges implementing safe street projects. Our campaign for safer streets continues, including a virtual summit planned for Spring 2021.

Open and shared streets

Safer streets, sustainable transportation

Amid the pandemic, more people than ever are spending time outside, using our parks and streets for recreation and exercise. CSG joined the worldwide campaign for reimagining how we use our streets. In Montgomery, we partnered with WABA and local advocates to push county officials for neighborhood greenways, streeteries, and shared streets. In Fairfax, we partnered with FABB and were successful in getting the county to create two open street sections, one on Tysons Boulevard and another on Government Center Parkway. DC has done much better, but the entire region is falling short.

Smart growth means transit and local street networks that are safe for walking and bicycling.

Emergency federal transit funding

Better buses Buses are essential for a sustainable, equitable transportation system. With our MetroNow coalition we are campaigning for bus network redesign, dedicated lanes, and affordable fares.

After years of CSG advocacy, 16th Street bus lanes are starting construction, the city has a new Bus Priority program, and more bus lanes are coming online. Our Montgomery campaign bore fruit with the opening of the county’s first bus rapid transit line, the Flash, on Route 29, and we’ve pulled together a diverse coalition of labor, environmental, transit, and equity advocates on a platform for reimagining and redesigning local bus service in the county.

Due to an increase in telework and uncertainty about safety, transit ridership has plummeted, threatening transit’s ability to support our workforce and economy. CSG partnered with a national coalition of transit advocates to win emergency CARES Act funding, and we’ve continued fighting for transit in a second stimulus package. We organized a letter to the Capital region’s Congressional delegation, securing over a hundred sign-ons from a broad spectrum of business, environment, and labor groups, and elected officials -- from Richmond to Baltimore.

Increased transit funding in Virginia Our multi-year campaign for transportation reform in Virginia, based on our 2005 Reconnecting Virginia vision, saw more progress this year with the restructuring of transportation formulas to increase transit’s share of funding. The state also committed a record $3.7 billion investment in the intercity rail network, including a new Long Bridge over the Potomac and purchase of CSX right of way from DC to North Carolina. The Administration is also funding free or reduced transit fares.

Fighting for a safer Richmond Highway We led our partners in the Route 1 corridor in Fairfax advocating for needed safety improvements for a corridor with a high rate of pedestrian fatalities and injuries. Thanks to our advocacy, VDOT is studying reducing the speed limit to a safer 35 mph, but they remain entrenched against physically redesigning the road with narrower travel lanes, more frequent pedestrian crossings, and shorter crossing distances. CSG remains committed to fighting for the walkable, transit-oriented community envisioned by residents.

Incentives for Montgomery TOD

Transit-oriented development

We campaigned to win passage of two important policies that will support sustainable growth patterns by targeting more housing and jobs at Metro stations.

First, the county eliminated its housing moratorium through its new growth policy and adjusted impact fees and transportation tests to encourage more walkable infill development. Second, Montgomery passed a 15-year property tax exemption for high-rise construction on Metro property. Combining our policy expertise, relationships with officials, and supporter base, we led on both measures, and our supporters sent a total of 200 letters to decision makers.

Smart growth means community commitment to creating walkable, mixed-use, transit-accessible places.

DC’s Comprehensive Plan The DC Comp Plan update has been unusually drawn out. CSG’s Policy Director, Cheryl Cort, has been there every step of the way and mobilized allies to support the draft plan which sets strong goals for affordable housing in each ward and more housing near transit stations and corridors.

We led the Housing Priorities Coalition, met with councilmembers and staff, worked closely with Ward3Vision to inform the community about a legacy of exclusion in Ward 3 and to generate strong Ward 3 support for the plan, co-hosted a forum with Young Transportation Professionals, and sent frequent alerts to our supporters, generating dozens of letters to Council.

Planning for Montgomery

West Falls Church

Inclusive land use policies are key to creating more welcoming, mixed-income communities. We are organizing a diverse grassroots movement for smart growth in Montgomery County. Our community-led group, Montgomery for All, grew to over 150 supporters and has been the leading voice on the county’s general plan update, which will guide land use for the next 30+ years. The group also won an expansion of the Silver Spring Downtown Plan’s boundaries, so that the plan will now consider a range of housing options in the neighborhoods adjacent to the downtown core.

West Falls Church is undergoing a transformation into an inclusive walkable, transit-oriented community. The City portion is well underway, while Fairfax County, WMATA, and VATech continue their planning for a community that will include schools, jobs, housing and retail. CSG and partners are working to ensure inclusion of affordable housing, enhanced stormwater management, and a focus on people, not cars, with a safe network for walking and biking and good interconnection between bus, BRT, and Metrorail.

Route 15 and rural scenic byways

More open space, less sprawl

The battle for the future of Route 15 continues. Loudoun County’s push to widen Route 15 north of Leesburg to four lanes while retaining traffic lights will not only make it less safe but will induce more traffic and speculative land development. Now there is a study of Route 15 south of Leesburg. Working with partners, we still hope to win our safer, context-sensitive alternative: two lanes with roundabouts and traffic calming.

Route 28 at Manassas

Smart growth means protecting our forests and farms from sprawl, and protecting our water and our future.

We joined the campaign for an effective solution for Route 28 near Manassas. The alternative developed by a local activist and planner would fix the existing Route 28, creating a local street network and walkable community in Yorkshire, with a dedicated bus rapid transit lane. Unfortunately, the Prince William Board and NoVA Transportation Authority ignored local opposition and selected a new bypass route that will take homes, impact a minority community, pave a stretch of stream valley, and impact Bull Run. The fight will continue.

Climate change With transportation now the #1 source of our region’s greenhouse gas emissions, we must reduce vehicle miles traveled by creating transit-oriented communities, “15-minute walkable neighborhoods,” and more frequent transit. Unfortunately, we aren’t seeing the commitment from area officials meeting at the Council of Governments and Transportation Planning Board to reduce emissions generated by poor land use, highway expansion, and increased driving. That’s why we hired Senior Policy Fellow Bill Pugh to focus on the land use, transportation, climate connection, and are initiating a major regional campaign.

I-495 and I-270 Toll Lane Expansion The State of Maryland has pressed forward with proposed widening and tolling for the Capital Beltway (I-495) and I-270, despite the destructive impacts on parkland, stormwater, and air quality. We’ve coordinated with partners and local residents to push for a more sustainable alternative centered on transit, demand management, and transitoriented land use, and hired a national traffic modeling expert to expose the flaws in the state analysis. Our coalition, Maryland Advocates for Sustainable Transportation (MAST), collaborated to help residents submit comments on the project’s draft environmental impact statement.

Accessory apartments

Affordable housing

We released the definitive DC homeowner’s manual for creating accessory apartments (ADUs) in partnership with United Planning Organization (UPO) and funded

by Citi Community Investing and Development. ADUs offer new housing options and provide income to the owner or the flexibility to accommodate a family member.

We hosted education events and an online forum, and worked closely with officials to make designing, financing and building an accessory unit easier. It’s paying off with major improvements to the permit process. We also supported Alexandria’s ADU study and pressed Fairfax to do more than their current proposal.

Smart growth means using every tool we have to ensure people have safe, affordable places to live.

Progress on housing in Prince George’s We have long pressed Prince George’s to do more to address affordable housing needs, and over the last year we’ve worked with decision-makers and allies on the Housing Opportunities for All Workgroup and the Purple Line Coalition’s Housing Action Team toward dedicating increased resources to preserving and building homes for residents whose incomes are stretched too thin. We are also broadening our engagement with Prince George’s activists - in our group Rise Prince George’s - to promote more housing, transit-oriented development, and improved transit.

A more inclusive DC DC’s existing Comp Plan is outdated and does not provide the long-term vision we need to address our city’s stark racial disparities in housing, health, and economic opportunity. At the heart of the revised Comp Plan are provisions to increase housing options across the city, especially near transit.

The plan also includes specific policies and actions for COVID-19 response and recovery. We have fought to get the plan approved in 2020, because stretching out adoption will stall new housing and inhibit the investment we need for an equitable economic recovery.

Expanding Inclusionary Zoning To complement the increase in density and housing capacity proposed in the Comp Plan’s Future Land Use Map, we proposed and fought for an Expanded Inclusionary Zoning requirement for any upzoning to capture some of the increased value and pay for more affordable units. Thanks to our efforts, the DC Zoning Commission is now considering expanding inclusionary zoning to provide more units in rezonings that increase the density of the property or convert the use to residential, while ensuring project feasibility.
