As an extension of the EcoDistrict strategies, the Lakewood Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) lays out the plan "to link transportation and land use, increase housing options, promote mixed-use development, expand transportation choice and encourage thoughtful economic growth." Sustainable Lakewood is currently working with the city's Planning Department on rezoning the neighborhood's commercial area. One of our hard-working interns advancing this plan behind the scenes is Timothy Cho! Nicknamed by the team as "Techno Tim" (being very helpful with technology), he is known for his go-getter personality, punctuality and  great people skills. ​
