We need smart sustainable development

Any/all development throughout Longmont and specifically w/respect to the Main Street Corridor should be required to be best practices Green built with solar power, rooftop gardens for multi-use residential development alternative transportation friendly. North Main needs a community garden, green space, and parks. Any/all projects should also require lots of more-mature trees to make a beautiful canopy and provide shade. The proposed "multi-cultural event center" would best be suited for North Main to bring visitors up that way. A free electric-powered shuttle along Main street (starting on weekends & then adding evenings and weekdays as things progress).
