Walk21/PDS Conference Reports
Mendocino County Planning Board members reported on their conference experience and how NYC's work can translate to a coastal northern California community :
-
Dan Gjerde's report includes some great photos of the High Line and New Yorkers enjoying their new streets and public places.
-
Lauren Sinnott reports on NYC's new street designs (good before-and-after pics) and the links between
transportation, planning, health and economic vitality.

East Coast Greenway Design Charrette
The design charrette is still open and needs your input. Everything you need to know is here.
Maybe you visited the High Line while you were in NYC last fall. Imagine a comparable elevated greenway in the middle of Jersey City, NJ. Your view is of surrounding residential rooftops and the New York City skyline ahead. Explore with the East Coast Greenway Alliance how to integrate their visionary 6th Street/Harsimus Stem Embankment project with other path projects to the east and west of the corridor.
