in addition to bicycle and pedestrian traffic, creating more green space (parks, hiking/biking single track) instead of urban development on every parcel.

From a practical, Montana-oriented viewpoint, we are vehicle dependent, shaped by seasonal weather, and probably rate highly in number of pets per person. This means that housing with a dedicated yard (even if small), parking for two vehicles, and at least an oversized one vehicle garage will meet demand. Snow removal and public street maintenance must figure into planning.
