2019
YEAR IN REVIEW
Friends, We are proud of CSG’s central role in advocating for a more sustainable Washington DC region. Our success in winning change has been recognized by the Council of Governments, the Catalogue for Philanthropy, and the Washington Business Journal. Our value proposition is a coherent vision and our unique combination of policy expertise, established reputation, relationships with officials and the media, commitment to partnerships, and over 24,000 person email list. Thanks to your generous personal support we have achieved a record of success in advocating for transit-oriented development, housing affordability, transit, and progressive transportation policies. Your support for our mission is more important than ever. With just 10 years to dramatically cut greenhouse gas emissions, CSG must lead the push for more homes close to jobs and transit, for more transit, and for walkable/bikeable communities. We must simultaneously fight the short-sighted push for highways that mean more driving, more traffic, and more emissions. CSG has always had terrific staff and our latest generation isn’t missing a beat. We live in an era of amazing, dedicated young people, in a region among the most diverse in the world. We will work together to win a more inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future.
Stewart Schwartz Executive Director

2019’s top stories

Updating DC’s Comprehensive Plan In 2019, we were at the center of the battle for the future of DC. Would the updated Comp Plan ensure an inclusive city and provide the housing we need? CSG’s Policy Director, Cheryl Cort, brought all of her experience and relationships to bear as she partnered with housing advocates, met with multiple officials, and crafted and won language that made affordable housing and preventing displacement top priorities in the plan.
Accessory apartments in Montgomery County We teamed with Habitat for Humanity Metro Maryland to win zoning changes in Montgomery County, making it easier for homeowners to add a backyard cottage or an apartment in their home. With so many people needing an affordable place to live, these accessory apartments are great for young people, an older family member, or downsizing empty nesters.

Better buses Regional and local bus systems carry nearly as many people each day as Metrorail, but our buses are stuck in traffic. Following our 2018 win for Metro funding, we’ve embarked on a multi-front campaign to win better buses: releasing a DC Bus Report Card; playing a leading role in the development and release of the regional Bus Transformation Project; and launching a campaign for bus priority lanes, route redesign, affordable fares, and faster boarding.
Safer streets We’re fighting for safer streets across the region. Our biggest win with local advocates came in Alexandria where we won City Council approval for a safety “road diet” for Seminary Road. In Loudoun, we’re still working against the odds for roundabouts and traffic calming for Route 15. In Montgomery, we cosponsored a Vision Zero town hall, and in Fairfax, we’re fighting for safer designs for Richmond Highway and Gallows Road.
Coalition for Smarter Growth | Annual Report 2019 5
Safer streets, sustainable transportation Smart growth means transit and local street networks safe for walking and bicycling.
Better buses Our attention-grabbing DC Bus Report Card with MetroHero graded DC bus service as a “D,” but offered a menu of solutions. The July report release and bus forum garnered widespread media coverage and increased focus on DDOT’s H&I bus lane pilot study. Serving on the Executive Committee of the regional Bus Transformation Study, we ensured that dedicated bus lanes, route redesign, better customer information, faster boarding, and more affordable fares were among the top recommendations.
6
A safer Seminary Road We scored a big victory for safer “complete streets” in September when the Alexandria City Council voted 4 to 3 to approve a “road diet” for Seminary Road. In the face of significant civic association opposition, CSG partnered with dedicated local bicycle and pedestrian safety advocates on a petition, alerts, and testifying at the 8-hour Saturday hearing — most moving were neighborhood children speaking with eloquence about how unsafe it was to walk or bicycle along Seminary. The Council approved conversion from 4 to 3 lanes, with dedicated bike lanes and pedestrian medians.
Richmond Highway In recent years, we led the fight for a bus rapid transit line to support walkable, transit-oriented development (TOD) along Richmond Highway (Route 1) in Fairfax. Yet, VDOT’s current proposed road design could present a barrier to pedestrians and successful TOD. CSG and partner groups are pressing the agency to design the roadway, not for 45 mph as planned but for safer 35 mph speeds with narrower travel lanes, shorter crossing distance, and plenty of safe pedestrian crossings.
Potomac Yard Metro This long-planned infill Metrorail station is key to over 7.5 million square feet of walkable, transit-oriented development. Concerns over the permanent loss of 1.5 acres of forested wetlands prompted significant opposition to the selected location, but for engineering, cost, and development reasons, this is the most viable location. As conservationists, we fight to protect wetlands, but here the net environmental benefits in reducing total regional land development, driving, and transportation greenhouse gas emissions outweighed the wetlands impact. Coalition for Smarter Growth | Annual Report 2019 7
Transit-oriented development Smart growth means community commitment to creating walkable, mixed-use, transit-accessible places.
Merrifield plan Retrofitting the suburbs to be more transit-oriented isn’t easy. We dove into Fairfax County planning for conversion of the old Exxon-Mobil office park buildings into a mixeduse research center for INOVA health. While we helped win open space and forest protection, strong stormwater requirements, an urban street grid, and expanded bicycle and pedestrian networks, the plan still overemphasizes road and intersection expansion and we had to press for study of bus rapid transit along Gallows Road.

Prince George’s zoning rewrite Prince George’s continued its path to a modern zoning code that will foster walkable places and transit-oriented development. We’ve been there every step of the way, rallying supporters and urging the County Council to continue the process from zoning rewrite to countywide zoning map amendment. It’s not flashy, but these rules are the building blocks for creating the mixed-use places where people can walk, bicycle, and ride transit more often.
DC’s Comprehensive Plan The debate over the future of DC came to a head in the final council reviews of the Framework Element of the DC Comprehensive Plan. In recent years, court challenges have blocked thousands of new homes, including hundreds of affordable homes. That’s why we fought for and won critical language in the plan that: 1) prioritizes preserving and building more affordable housing and preventing the displacement of residents and 2) fixes the broken review process for Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) so it can be more predictable, while prioritizing affordable housing and preventing displacement. Combining our policy expertise, relationships with officials, supporter base, and dedicated affordable housing partners, we were instrumental in winning these amendments for a more inclusive city. Looking ahead, we need to support the proposed Future Land Use Map, which identifies locations for more transit-accessible housing.
Speaking Up! We regularly speak up in favor of smart growth projects and policies at public hearings, while encouraging our supporters to do so as well. Here are a few from this past year:
Grosvenor Metro Station Montgomery housing moratorium (opposed) Potomac Yard Metro Station National Landing Bus rapid transit on MD-355

More open space, less sprawl Smart growth means protecting our forests and farms from sprawl, and protecting our water and our future.
The Council of Governments supports more housing near transit Our 22-year presence at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) has borne fruit in recent years with the adoption of the smart growth Region Forward vision (2010) and the Visualize 2045 (2018) transportation plan which make transit-oriented development our regional priority. This year, COG jurisdictions agreed to plan for far more housing close to jobs and transit (75% of new growth directed to activity centers) in order to address housing needs and reduce long-distance driving.
10
Route 15 and rural scenic byways We are continuing our assistance to local advocates in the Route 15 fight in Loudoun. Proposals to widen Route 15 to four lanes while retaining traffic lights will not only make it less safe but will induce more traffic volume and likely tie into speculative land development. We commissioned independent consultants who demonstrate that two lanes with roundabouts and traffic calming will be safer and more cost-effective and enhance historic tourism. As a result of our advocacy, the state is now studying this alternative for rural two-lane scenic byways across Virginia.
I-495 and I-270 toll expansion The State of Maryland has pressed forward with proposed widening and tolling for the Capital Beltway (I-495/95) 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 transit-oriented land use. We came together with the League of Women Voters of Maryland and Sierra Club Maryland Chapter to create the Maryland Advocates for Sustainable Transportation (MAST) coalition, now with 16 co-signers, who believe Maryland’s future must be focused on 21st century transit-oriented solutions.
Warehouse or walkable town center? When a massive warehouse distribution center was proposed on a site planned to be part of the mixed-use Westphalia town center, local residents cried foul. CSG joined local residents in pressing the Prince George’s Planning Board to reject the 19-acre warehouse and its 1,800 surface parking spaces as incompatible with the town center plan. We suggested alternative sites better suited to industrial uses. While the county approved the out of character use, the collective outcry prompted the future tenant to withdraw.

Affordable housing Smart growth means using every tool we have to ensure people have safe, affordable places to live.
Accessory apartments in DC Our workshops, online forum, and fact sheets are making it easier to plan, design, finance, permit, and build an accessory apartment in DC. We’ve attracted hundreds of interested homeowners and funding from a grant, which will go to our partners at United Planning Organization. CSG is subcontracted to UPO to write how-to guides and jointly host forums to assist low- to moderate-income homeowners. DC has responded by seeking ways to improve the process, and the buzz we’ve created is encouraging other jurisdictions to ease requirements for accessory apartments.
12
Accessory apartments in Montgomery County Accessory apartments increase the number and diversity of housing options. In Montgomery County, where 47 percent of the housing stock is detached, single family homes, CSG joined Habitat for Humanity in advocating for a zoning amendment making accessory apartments easier for homeowners to provide. Among other changes, it removed prohibitions on accessory cottages in small lot single family zones and on lots less than one acre. We later hosted a community workshop with experts on permitting, licensing, architecture, and other aspects of building an accessory dwelling.
Affordable housing and Amazon With Amazon’s selection of Arlington for its HQ2, CSG and housing partners issued a joint letter pressing state and local governments for stronger policies and funding for affordable housing. While Arlington and Virginia made additional funding commitments, they fall far short of what’s needed, as is also the case in Fairfax and Alexandria. We are also pressing Amazon and private developers to commit to helping meet the need.
Meeting DC’s housing needs The update to the DC Comprehensive Plan has been a fight for enough housing supply and for affordable housing preservation and inclusion to prevent displacement. Our intervention in the last few months was essential to winning language that made housing, affordable housing preservation, inclusionary zoning, and prevention of displacement priorities in the new plan and in planned unit developments (PUDs).
