City-wide planning map aims to make Mobile more walkable

A city-wide planning map is aiming to make Mobile more walkable.

The plan called "Map for Mobile" will go before the city council Tuesday for consideration. The plan outlines methods and approaches the city will follow starting in 2016 to implement zoning, land use, code and ordinance changes and capital improvement priorities.

The map would be the first for South Alabama's largest city in years.

It was approved by the city's planning commission Thursday following a round of mostly positive comments from people involved in the nine-month creation process.

The city spent $150,000 on the process headed by Goodwyn, Mills & Cawood, Inc., a privately-held engineering and architecture firm in Mobile.

The city is encouraging the public to review the draft plan online at www.mapformobile.org.
