Just created a new general repository for City of Baltimore #QuartoPub templates https://github.com/city-of-baltimore/quarto-templates/
The only template in there now is the LaTeX PDF template I used for the #BaltimorePlanning CIP report https://planning.baltimorecity.gov/sites/default/files/FY2530_CIP-Recommendation-Report_final_0.pdf
My code is never perfect but I'm doing my best to keep it public and open source!
This is becoming a weird civic recurring occasion for me: delivering an welcoming presentation on the history of Baltimore's street for the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance #Transportation101 class.
Slides are here for the curious: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1veVMSSJeCJI5zxukw-zCuPb0C1bKo7j2iEOXTUlK2Do/edit?usp=sharing
I've done this talk at least once a year and some years twice for the past 5 years! #T101 #BaltimorePlanning

It isn't the most elegant thing in the world but I finished migrating (almost) all my code for developing the city's CIP Report into a reproducible {targets} pipeline.
Still plenty to do but I feel like I'm nearing the end of a 5-month marathon.
I've resurrected a neglected #RStats package to publish this data (and hopefully more soon) https://elipousson.github.io/baltimoredata/reference/baltimore_plans.html
I also published a Baltimore City public entity reference that I made + find super useful https://elipousson.github.io/baltimoredata/reference/entity_reference.html

Spent too much time this evening on updates to my city and regional plan inventory resource https://airtable.com/appC0OOaNJtKU6iHz/shrjvLIxBd5k0rnuH
I've tracked down reference info on 30+ more plans (adding to a 350+ total) in the past couple weeks and added links to a few park plans that weren't online previously.

The structure for this Airtable base is taken from the index of Baltimore City plans I started last month https://airtable.com/shrIb0577rFcNI6vj
That one has since been expanded to include regional plans from the Baltimore Metropolitan Council + community/transportation plans from Baltimore County.
#BaltimorePlanning #UrbanPlanning
This base is an index for community plans, park plans, transportation plans, and related reports or studies for Baltimore City, adjacent counties, and the Baltimore metro area. The goal is to provide a convenient and accessible reference to information plans include: what the scope and related locations for the plan, when the plan was published or adopted, who prepared the plan, and any programs connected to the plan. Tables include: - **plans**: including plans, studies, reports, etc. - **organizations**: including agencies, community organizations, consultants, and funders - **locations**: neighborhoods, parks, planning areas, and other locations included within the scope of a related plan - **entities**: a linked table with agencies, commissions, and other public and quasi-public entities in Baltimore City and Maryland
Started a list of statewide plans from Maryland agencies https://airtable.com/shr9pTAi88CopobD1
So much work goes into planning documents but they are too often forgotten by everyone involved (except the maybe the regulators) as soon as they're done. Curious how we can better see plans in context + keep the current plans top of mind. #MarylandPlanning #BaltimorePlanning
