greenway

Der Wild Atlantic Way ist mit seinen 2500 Kilometern die längste ausgewiesene Küstenstraße der Welt. Von der  Halbinsel Inishowen im Norden des County Donegals schentlang der irischen Westküste bis ins Küstenstädtchen Kinsale im Süden des County Cork. Irlands Westen verspricht überwältigende Naturschönheit und idyllische Ruhe. Von dieser Landschaft mit ihren Steinmauern, reetgedeckten Cottages, stimmungsvollen Bergen und verlassenen Stränden ließen sich schon Träumer, Landstreicher, Dichter und Maler gleichermaßen inspirieren. Nehmen Sie bei einem Abenteuer am Rande Europas eine Auszeit vom Alltag. Margaret Jenkins kümmert sich vor Ort um die Vermarktung des Abschnitts Galway, Clare, Limerick und kennt die bekannten Attraktionen ebenso wie die Geheimtipps entlang dieser Traumstraße.

Spring is the perfect time for families to “Live life outside,” the mantra of Great Rivers Greenway, a local organization that’s charged with creating and maintaining a system of greenways that connect St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. In this week’s STL SproutCast, Anne Milford, communications coordinator for Great Rivers Greenway, shares tips to help families get out and explore this local resource.

From booming, industrial meccas to abandoned, desolate, long forgotten spaces, New Jersey's industrial coast has changed a lot over the years. Largely ignored by the majority of those that pass by every single day, the old railroad tracks, abandoned buildings and uninhabited landscapes that lie in ruin from time to time breathe signs of life in many different ways. Attempting to ignore the parts of our society and history that we aren't so keen on identifying with or remembering doesn't mean that they actually go away.

Wheeler Antabanez explores the old, forgotten landscapes of North New Jersey and chronicles his experiences and the tales of the paths, tracks and places he knows all too well through his writing. Join us as we take a journey with Wheeler through the not so invisible but mostly abandoned ruins of Northern New Jersey.

These bold visions always ask for additional walking and bike paths that are interconnected with regional trails. They push life cycle housing, urbanizing our small towns. They try to sell "placemaking", where they center development around certain planning concepts, like mixed use development, transit, and cloistered communities. This group is meant to consolidate government and increase its power. It is not interested in diverse voices. We need to make government local again. That's the only way we have a say in our future.

We also give you an update on the "Hutch" Hutchinson drunk Driving debacle. Guess what? Apparently he says that he wasn't driving... it was a cab driver! I guess the case is solved. Don't worry, he won't see any repercussions.

Have you checked out our Spotify playlist? At the beginning of each episode, Jason quotes some song lyrics that have to do with the subject matter of the podcast. Andrew never knows what they are, but now he can… and so can you! We’ve launched the Spotify playlist: “Community Solutions Music From the Podcast!” You can listen to Roundabout from Yes after listing to Episode 30 on Roundabouts… or kick back and enjoy a rocking playlist just for the thrill of it. We add a new song every week. Subscribe and enjoy!

The March issue of Parks & Recreation magazine is out now, and on this bonus episode of Open Space Radio we’re diving deeper into one of the feature articles, “St. Louis: A Path Toward Equitable Design.” The article showcases the framework plan for the Chouteau Greenway in St. Louis — a $250 million greenway development. The public-private partnership spans 15 miles and 20 neighborhoods, with the goal of connecting communities and unifying different populations.

One person who has played an instrumental role in this project is Susan Trautman, CEO of Great Rivers Greenway, and we’re thrilled to chat with her on the show.

On this episode, we discuss how important it is that a public space like this connects diverse populations throughout the city, and the impact that this kind of project makes on the communities that it touches.

We also talk about the release of the Chouteau Greenway Framework Plan that was recently released in December 2019. The plan focuses on four main topics:

• Alignment (feasibility of possible routes),
• Design & Identity (look and feel of the greenway),
• Economic Growth (the greenway as a catalyst for opportunity)
• Equity (equitable outcomes in project and process)

Social equity remains at the forefront of Chouteau Greenway, as well as community engagement, and Great Rivers Greenway is currently reviewing submissions for the new name of the greenway. Due to the sensitive nature of the name “Chouteau,” which was the name of a slave owner in St. Louis, a large part of this project is soliciting a new name from the community — and they have over 1,000 submissions!

To learn more about this project and see what the future holds for the greenway, tune in to the episode below.

Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel wants to build a new jail, because the current one is a squalid death trap. On June 19, he plans to ask a special meeting of the county board of commissioners’ Records and Public Safety panel for approval of the $375 million project, plus the OK of ballot language for a tax to pay for the bonds that would pay for it.

It’s not clear how much the tax millage would be or whether this would constitute a tax increase for residents. But for a generally tax-averse county, this one could get problematic, fast.

Oh, and there’s a new attempt to thwart the new Gordie Howe International Bridge, this time via an addition to a state budget bill that would prohibit the state from spending any money to finance its half of construction. You know, even though Canada is reimbursing us 100% of the costs. Will wonders never cease?

Elsewhere, we run down:

• Security guards in downtown Detroit began a strike today, though it’s unclear how widespread it actually is.
• The city has broken ground on the Joseph Campau Greenway, a 1.2-mile non-motorized path that will run parallel to the Dequindre Cut.
• Friday is Flag Day, and the Fisher Building will celebrate by displaying its collection of 60 national flags from way back in 1928, when the building opened. [Facebook]
• Beyond Juice, the Madison Heights based food retailer, will open its second Detroit location on the ground floor of The Platform.
• Shinola is selling love locks that you can hang in Parker’s Alley.
• And there’s a cash flash event planned for a stretch of Grand River Avenue seeing reconstruction on June 26. You can learn more about the event, which aims to support neighborhood businesses in Detroit, at DiscoverDetroitD1.com.
