3. Waco to consider walkability, connectivity updates to subdivision ordinance (star-telegram.com) — Georgetown gets a nod as one of several Texas cities already requiring more connected street and sidewalk networks, as Waco leaders weigh similar changes to future subdivision rules.

The council appears open to updates but wants to balance safety, access, and housing affordability.
