The American Planning Association Announces the 2007 Great Places in America APA celebrates the first 10 Great Streets and 10 Great Neighborhoods designated through its new national program, Great Places in America. Launched last spring, Great Places in America celebrates places of exemplary character, quality, and planning. Places are selected annually and represent the gold standard of communities, offering Americans better choices for where and how to work and live. "We salute the dedication and contribution of countless individuals whose efforts have not only helped bring about these wonderful streets and neighborhoods, but have made them flourish," said APA Executive Director and CEO Paul Farmer, FAICP. "We are honored to recognize their efforts to create safe and sustainable places to live, work, and visit. These Great Places are singled out because they showcase what can be achieved in communities across the country." The designated neighborhoods and streets are defined by several characteristics, including good design, functionality, sustainability, and community involvement. Through Great Places in America, APA recognizes that great streets, neighborhoods, and public spaces are the essential building blocks of all great communities. 2007 GREAT STREETS Bull Street http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/bullstreet.htm Savannah, Georgia Canyon Road http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/canyonroad.htm Santa Fe, New Mexico Delmar Loop http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/delmarloop.htm University City and St. Louis, Missouri Main Street http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/mainstreetnorthampton.htm Northampton, Massachusetts Monument Avenue http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/monumentavenue.htm Richmond, Virginia North Michigan Avenue http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/northmichiganavenue.htm Chicago, Illinois Ocean Drive http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/oceandrive.htm Miami Beach, Florida 125th Street http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/125thstreet.htm New York, New York St. Charles Avenue http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/stcharlesavenue.htm New Orleans, Louisiana South Temple Street http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/streets/southtemplestreet.htm Salt Lake City, Utah 2007 GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS Chatham Village http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/neighborhoods/chathamvillage.htm Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Eastern Market http://www.planning.org/greatplaces/neighborhoods/easternmarket.htm Washington, D.C.

I'm in DC until Wednesday. I'll give more info then.

Thank you for your contribution.

Isn't a large portion of our non-attainment due to particulate matter more often associated with brakes on vehicles, rather then emissions?

That's what I'm saying. What are we waiting for? SOMEBODY must have the updated site plan. S O M E B O D Y

Now would be a very good time for a somebody to post a site plan huh?

Errrrrrrrgggggg I am just now getting home. I am so pissed. I thought I would be out in time to meet everyone coming off the boat. So next month the 28th is on a Sunday - Halloween time!!!

Gotta problem, friends. I am stuck putting together a Capital, blah, blah, blah for the state. Not sure if I will get out in time. I am waiting on others so I can complete my portion. I'll try to make it down there though.

Probably a sun shield - like you guessed.

Good news! Congratulations!

They're out! Bring on the 80's!!!

From the APA ann the History Channel:

Looks like some work has begun on the northern end for phase II or one of the out-lots.

Forgot I had this... although I may have posted it somewhere else on the board.

September 17, 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent Senate Votes Transportation/HUD Appropriations Act, FY2008 - Vote Passed (88-7, 5 Not Voting) The Senate voted to provide $104.6 billion to fund programs at the Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development. Sen. George Voinovich voted YES Sen. Sherrod Brown voted YES

The ferry is figured in the project. It would be located (as shown in the diagrams) roughly where the current terminal is located. Rail is only a portion of the project. There is the ferry service - just mentioned - two bus lines and, of course, air. There is a current need for conference services at the airport. The spaces they have there now are small and lacking in many amenities. The new multi-modal center would have a new conference center, hotel and support functions. Thank you

Ah, coming back with style. Glad to have you back - you were missed. And condolences to you and your family.

We looked at that as well, including taking the current configuration and moving it north, similar to where you have it shown. After many interviews, it was determined future technology in aircraft engine design will make obsolete the need for extended/expanded runways. I can't recall the name of the engines or the acronym.

Amusing.
