In most U.S. cities, outdated zoning laws mandate excessive, costly parking, prohibit mixing homes and retail, and generally enforce a car-dependent urban layout. Many people mistake the lack of walkable options for a lack of demand for walkable housing. In reality, the vast majority of Americans would prefer to live in a walkable neighborhood. Culdesac Tempe is developing a model to overcome these barriers, demonstrating that walkable neighborhoods can thrive in the U.S. in the 2020s, even in traditionally car-dependent cities like Phoenix.

The new South Central Extension adds 5.5 more miles of light rail through downtown Phoenix, creating new opportunities for walkable neighborhoods to thrive. Since the original Valley Metro line opened in 2008, it’s supported the growth of walkable hubs across the Valley, including Culdesac Tempe. Seven years ago, we were laughed out of the room for proposing a car-free neighborhood. Today, Culdesac Tempe is thriving, enabled by the light rail and new transportation technologies that make walkable living more attainable.
