Segment 3, November 30th, 2024 The SouthPark Municipal District was created by the City of Charlotte in 2022.  The goal was to help manage & maintain the successful shopping, business, restaurant, residential, & entertainment district within the city.  This is also the home of Carolina Outdoor sponsor, Jesse Brown's.  Host Bill Bartee recently spoke with President/CEO Adam Rhew of SouthPark Community Partners about the area, the changes, & transportation, trails, & green space in the area. Show Highlights: SouthPark is important to the regional economy & a beautiful place to live. SouthPark began in 1970 with the building of the Southpark Mall.  It is now owned by Simon Properties. The Loop is a 3-mile walking and biking path to help connect the area together, including being able to connect to Greenways outside of the SouthPark District. The area began as a rural area, became suburban, & is now urbanizing.  Management is important to help keep the great qualities of this area intact. The Free Ride App is available here: the Southpark Skipper Symphony Park is the largest green space in the district.  It hosts SouthPark after Five, Pops in the Park, & several other entertainment opportunities to be together as a community. Things You'll Learn by Listening: SouthPark is one of the largest business & shopping districts between Washington, DC & Atlanta, GA, making it an important destination for tens of thousands.

Szlaki greenways, to trasy dziedzictwa przyrodniczo-kulturowego, tworzone wzdłuż rzek, historycznych tras handlowych, naturalnych korytarzy przyrodniczych i kolei. Są to wielofunkcyjne szlaki służące niezmotoryzowanym formom transportu, podróżowania i promocji zdrowego stylu życia – rowerowe, piesze, biegowe, rolkowe, wodne, konne, narciarstwa biegowego, etc. Greenways tworzą ramy dla realizacji lokalnych inicjatyw społecznych na rzecz ochrony przyrody i krajobrazu, zachowania dziedzictwa kulturowego, rozwoju turystyki przyjaznej dla środowiska i zrównoważonego transportu. Zielone szlaki odpowiadają na potrzeby zarówno mieszkańców, jak i zwiedzających oraz wnoszą pozytywny wkład w ożywianie lokalnej gospodarki i pobudzanie przedsiębiorczości w regionach. Zabierzemy radiosłuchaczy na szlak GreenWays pod nazwą: "Dziedzictwo Wschodu" wraz z Lokalnymi Grupami Działania działającymi na tym szlaku turystyczno-krajoznawczym.

Did you know that Nashville has nearly 100 miles of greenways? In this episode, we're joined by Vice Mayor Angie Henderson to discuss one of her passions — Nashville's greenways. These essential pathways do more than provide recreation; they link parks, neighborhoods, libraries, schools, and even play a role in the city's transportation network. We discuss the expansion of Metro's greenway system, the challenges of accessibility, and the efforts to make these spaces safer and more interconnected. Plus, the Vice Mayor shares her favorite greenways and why they're such valuable assets to Nashville's community.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - Wetlands are key resources to address climate change and help maintain surface water flow during dry periods. But they are also largely disappearing.  According to a recent study in Nature, since 1700 approximately 3.4 million square miles of wetlands have been lost in the United States, Europe and China. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources estimates that 70 % of the wetlands in southern Canada disappeared prior to 1990. In densely populated areas, that figure is close to 98%. Unfortunately wetlands are often found in the same areas where humans like to live and this problem has been amplified by the critical need for affordable housing.  Both of the most populated Discovery Islands are attempting to assess their water budgets while they look at further development. Quadra Island is mapping its wetlands, as well as carrying out rainfall, streamflow and aquifer studies. On Cortes Island, the Community Housing Society is seeking funding to carry out a study of Cortes Island's water resources.  Meanwhile the opportunity to apply for a $30,000 grant for the proposed Caddisfly Creek restoration project may have been lost, or at least deferred, because of Campbell River's concerns about the possible impact on their plans for development.   $5,000 of the funding was for removing logs and vegetation from culvert exits to the Salish Sea, but the bulk of the application was to fund a feasibility study.  At the SRD  Board meeting of August 21, Regional Director John Rice of Area D asked, “Caddisfly affects Area D, just like it affects the city of Campbell River, but this is only a feasibility study.  Why are we  potentially holding up their opportunity to get money to do a study that is going to include both Area D and the city of Campbell River?”  Campbell River Director Ben Lanyon responded, “This feasibility study is one step towards making it even harder for Campbell River to meet its housing targets. We're choosing the environment versus housing in alot of cases, unfortunately. This isn't currently a salmon bearing stream, but changing its status will directly affect the city of Campbell River.”  To which Director Doug Chapman, also from Campbell River, added that Mayor Dahl said they have almost 840 housing units ready to go. “We're waiting for the Minister of Environment's approval. If there's an open ditch that has a pollywog in it, that delays everything.” There was a presentation in favour of the project earlier in the meeting. Katie Lavoie, Executive Director of the Greenways Land Trust made the introduction, “We're coming to you today to present on a project that we're applying for funding through the SRD.”  Shawn Koopman, Protective Services Co-ordinator for the SRD, made an application to the province's Disaster Relief and Innovation Fund on behalf of the Caddisfly Creek Restoration Project.   Katie Lavoie: “I  see a lot of familiar faces, you probably know what Greenways does. We are a Campbell River based environmental nonprofit. We've been around for 28 years. We do a lot of restoration, a lot of community work, a lot of partnering with First Nations and all levels of government and volunteer groups.”  Caddisfly Streamkeeper Greg Roberts provided some of the details. “I'm a resident of Area D. We moved beside Caddisfly Creek around 2021. I felt very fortunate to have this beautiful little ditch beside my house. I started to do some research and thought, well, I'd start by cleaning up some invasive plants and maybe doing some plantings because all that's there at this point are some deciduous trees. One thing leads to another, and I realized that Caddisfly, like many creeks on the east coast of Vancouver Island, was historically a very productive salmon habitat, particularly for Coho. That's been dramatically changed over the years through logging, road development, and urban development.

For the first time in a long time, East Knoxville residents cut off from downtown through the demolition of mostly Black neighborhoods in the 1960s and '70s will be able to move more easily throughout the city to take advantage of new amenities, new infrastructure and new job opportunities. But amending the generational pains of urban removal, touted as urban renewal at the time, is just a sliver of the expansive overhaul known as "Reconnecting Knoxville" that will add walkways to highways, replace parking lots with parks and bring Knoxville's complicated African American history to the forefront of a city trying to navigate the crossroads of progress while remembering − and learning from − past mistakes. Listen as hosts Ryan Wilusz and Brianna Paciorka discuss how this seven-phase project will change the way people experience downtown and nearby neighborhoods, including how the downtown baseball stadium fits in the plans.  >> Link: 5 ways new paths and parks will 'Reconnect Knoxville' from the stadium to the river "The Scruffy Stuff" is presented by knoxnews.com.

A North Clare Government senator is predicting this county will have the best Greenways in Ireland thanks to a major funding boost. Transport Infrastructure Ireland has granted over €6 million in funding for national roads, greenways and Active Travel schemes in Clare as part of a €440 million nationwide investment. Among the projects to receive funding here are the West Clare Railway, which has received an allocation of €800,000, the Ennis to Ennistymon Greenway, for which €650,000 in additional funding has been provided and the much-anticipated Limerick to Scariff Greenway, which is to receive €300,000. Inagh Green Party Senator believes the benefits of these Greenways will extend far beyond tourism.

President Joe Biden says the U.S. “shall respond” after a drone attack Sunday left three U.S. Army soldiers dead and more than 30 others wounded at a base in Jordan. Iran-backed militias were reported to be responsible for the deadly drone attack, and in response, Robert Greenway says, the U.S. needs to make Iran “feel the cost” of its actions. (Iran denied any responsibility for the attack.)Greenway, director of the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation, says the attacks will continue if Iran does not feel swift and certain consequences. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)Greenway, who served on the National Security Council in the Trump administration, says he would advise Biden, first, to “stop paying them [Iran] money. Two, we need to stop paying other governments money that ends up in the hands of perpetrators like Kataib Hezbollah.”And finally, Greenways says, the "[Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps] serving officers, the arm of the Iranian government that executes these attacks … need to be attacked, and they need to be held accountable for the attacks.” Greenway joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to share what we know about the attack on the U.S. base in Jordan and how the Biden administration is likely to respond.

We discuss some real-world examples of great greenway design and how impactful they can be when designed first, with the rest of the development following.Show Notes:Link to article referenced in the episode: https://planning.org/planning/2011/aug/greenwaysfirst.htmTo view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/Follow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

Mary Kromrey is the executive director of Ozark Greenways Inc., leading the efforts to maintain and grow the region's trail systems. Her love of nature began in childhood. She got back to those roots in 2016 when she joined the nonprofit after two decades working with the YMCA. She says opening herself to the possibility that life could take an unexpected turn landed her the gig. Now, she is advocating for her vision of walkable and connected communities. In this conversation, Mary talks about growing a thicker skin in her leadership role, finding joy in work and nature, and ongoing projects to ungap the trail map.

In this episode with author Robert Searns of Beyond Greenways: the next step for city trails and walking routes, we discuss the potential of destination walks like Tucson's turquoise trail and Denver's 5280 Trail, to do more than connect points A to B. As we meander through this conversation, we uncover the profound impact of physical wayfinding on our daily urban adventures. It's not just about getting from place to place but also about the cultural landmarks, tree-lined medians, and rest areas that turn a simple stroll into a vibrant communal experience. By listening to our chat, you'll step closer to envisioning a future where every step through our cities fosters a more connected, healthy, and vibrant community.Show Notes:Further reading on the topic:Out of Istanbul by Bernard OllivierThe Thunder Tree by Robert Michael PyleDan Burden Guides on Complete StreetsAny Books on Ultra Light BackpackingTo view the show transcripts, click on the episode at https://bookedonplanning.buzzsprout.com/ Episode Artwork by Tim Gouw on UnsplashFollow us on social media for more content related to each episode:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/booked-on-planning/Twitter: https://twitter.com/BookedPlanningFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bookedonplanningInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bookedonplanning/

It was a star studded panel that we assembled for last evening's taping of the KDHX podcast Tangazo. ------ Judith Arnold, an urban planner joined panelist Joe Hanrahan, artistic director and co founder of the Midnight Theatrical Company, along with Brian McKinley, former actor and educator now serving as Director of Education and Community Engagement , for the much celebrated  StLouis Black Repertory Theatre Company. ------ Eric Dundon, Director of Public Relations for the world renowned StLouis Symphony and popular local entertainer Laka Pronounced Lay-ka, rounded out an excellent panel.  Our discussion focused on the important role our arts and cultural institutions play in the effort to make StLouis a “World Class City.” A CNN poll ranking the top 20 midsize cities in the US, finds Kansas City ranked 10th, while StLouis went unranked, although it features many of the same lifestyle attractions, as the cities that were ranked. ------ Inclusiveness was the issue we focused on,  while acknowledging governance as being one of the main reasons ,that StLouis is not viewed, as a top tier city.  Urban planner Judith Arnold, lays a foundation for our conversation,she has been working with groups creating Greenways,  through out the city, with the goal of revitalizing declining neighborhoods and changing the dynamics of the” Delmar Divide”. ------

Dive into an enlightening 30-minute journey as we unearth the paradigm shift in Portugal's drug policy - a revolution that radically challenged global drug norms over two decades ago. In a world grappling with the adverse effects of drug prohibition, Portugal courageously paved a new path, decriminalizing all drugs and pivoting to a public health approach. In this deep-dive episode, we uncover the layers of Portugal's innovative strategy. From its commitment to harm reduction to its groundbreaking shift away from criminal punishment, we assess the real-world outcomes of such an approach. Has drug decriminalization led to rampant drug use, or has it produced a decline in drug-related deaths and HIV rates? How have Portugal's bold measures influenced its social fabric and public health outcomes? We further explore the often contentious yet vital subjects of safer supply, involuntary treatment, and drug legalization - topics making waves in North America's current policy debates. Safer supply initiatives are being implemented in various jurisdictions, providing regulated and less harmful substances as an alternative to dangerous street drugs. Involuntary drug treatment programs, which compel individuals into treatment against their will, are a controversial strategy being contemplated by several jurisdictions. And then there's the ultimate frontier - drug legalization, a step further from Portugal's decriminalization model and an option being seriously considered in some North American regions. Join us as we reflect on the lessons from Portugal's pioneering journey and discuss their potential application in the North American context. Our mission? To foster an informed dialogue that could shape the future of drug policy across continents. Let's challenge the status quo together.

In this episode, Neil and Will sit down with Dr. John Kvach, a historian hired as the Executive Director of the Singing River Trail - a 200+ mile greenway system being developed in Appalachia Alabama.  Why a historian?  John explains how the past plays a large role in the establishment of the trail and the overall impacts of a greenway system.  Take a listen as he describes the benefits that go well beyond the physical - to include the economic, emotional and even spiritual.  Greenways are not unique in and of themselves, but as John describes being able to blend the natural assets with the man-made assets is a way to make the system unique to the surrounding area.  The overall economic impact alone can be a huge boost to the local economy, especially in the more remote rural areas that often get left behind.  You might even hear the guys talk about a local Appalachian kid going global (hint - Gate City Represent) and how Neil prefers a side by side to walking.  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: The Gingerhead Bakery!

Parks and recreation is vital to community health and well-being. Local park and recreation agencies connect every member of the community to essential programs, services and spaces that enhance quality of life. And, local parks and recreation provides so many opportunities for experiencing the benefits of physical activity. According to the guidance from the Community Services Preventive Task Force, park and recreation and public health professionals play a role in ensuring all community members have equitable opportunities to get active. The Active Parks! Increasing Physical Activity Through Parks, Trails, and Greenways recommendation states that combining 1) essential infrastructure improvements with 2) additional activities — like structured programming, community engagement, access enhancements and more — can increase the use of parks, trails and greenways for physical activity. To support park and recreation and public health professionals in advancing this recommendation, NRPA developed the Active Parks! Implementation Guide. The guide includes a step-by-step process professionals can follow to equitably increase physical activity, plus case studies, sample actions and more. The guide also supports the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Active People, Healthy NationSM initiative, which aims to help 27 million people become more physically active by 2027. We are so excited to have worked with CDC on this new resource, and I was thrilled to learn more on today's episode in my conversation with Ken Rose, who leads CDC's Physical Activity and Health branch and oversees national efforts to increase physical activity. Tune in to our conversation below to learn: Why partnerships between public health and parks and recreation is critical to increasing physical activity and advancing health equity in communities The origins of the Active Parks! Implementation Guide and what inspired this movement Key considerations for park and recreation professionals interested in using the guide Why Ken believes the guide will transform physical activity in communities How park and recreation professionals can join the Active People, Healthy NationSM movement, and much more!

Mecklenburg County is under-parked and struggling to keep pace with growth but now, $50 million has been allocated to parks and rec for future parks so enjoying the outdoors might improve soon.

One of Charlotte's quintessential suburban communities has big plans to transform itself into a dense, walkable, mixed-use center. Greenways, sidewalks, protected bike lanes and transit would replace the car-choked expressways and huge parking lots that dominate the auto-centric area now. We're not talking about Ballantyne or SouthPark. Leaders in University City — Charlotte's second-largest employment district and youngest neighborhood — are betting they can take a part of the city that developed in the heyday of the car and turn it into a walkable neighborhood. Tobe Holmes, interim executive director of University City Partners, joins the Future Charlotte podcast to talk about how they're reorienting development away from the suburban patterns that have long defined the area, how University City is establishing an identity in a place that's long seemed like a somewhat anonymous collection of office parks and houses, and the challenges of reengineering a road network over which the city has only limited control.
