Biohabitats As the Township's Greenway and Trails Engineer 801 Burrows Run Road Chadds Ford, PA 19317 (610) 388-1300 Fax (610) 388-0461 Website: www.kennett.pa.us Email: [email protected] SUMMARY OF BIOHABITATS TEAMS AND QUALIFICATIONS As a result of the separation between Penn Trails and Kennett Township, the Kennett Greenway needs a new Trail Engineer. The Kennett Greenway is an initiative to physically connect the Kennett community to its natural beauty through the formation of a 10- to14-mile pedestrian and bicycle loop. This network of trails linking Kennett’s preserved open spaces, recreational facilities, and other community assets, will be interconnected, safe, and well-maintained.1 This Township collaboration includes Kennett Trails & Sidewalks Committee and the Land Conservation Advisory Committee, the Kennett Borough and several private non-profit organizations, including Kennett Trails Alliance and The Land Conservancy for Southern Chester County (TLC). We recommend the new Trails Engineer for this initiative be Biohabitats. They are an environmental design and consulting firm who was founded on the principles of restoring the earth’s resources and inspiring ecological stewardship. Their team for Kennett Township includes two subconsultants: Meliora, an engineering firm who is committed to sustainability, and Unknown Studio, a landscape architecture practice that strives to create experientially powerful places that are durable, resilient, and timeless. All three companies are highly qualified, have an incredible staff who are experienced in working with Greenways and trails, boast a litany of awards and accolades, and have worked locally in and around the Kennett area. Biohabitats applies the science of ecology to restore ecosystems, conserve habitat, and regenerate the natural systems that sustain all life on Earth.2 They understand that earth’s resources are finite and, therefore steer projects toward sustainable designs while preserving the “sense of place” unique to each community they work with. Biohabitats recently worked as the ecological consultant for the Brandywine Conservancy and Museum of Art Master Plan, led by Jennifer Dowdell. Their work on the Floyds Ford Greenway Master Plan helped the project earn a Merit Award for Master Planning in the National Park Service’s “Designing the Parks” competition.3 Meliora is proud to be an award-winning firm that provides the engineering to implement the vision of their clients. Their mission is to “create better relationships with our environment by developing engineering solutions that build respectfully and enhance our communities, protecting and restoring our natural resources.”4 Meliora is also very familiar with our area. Notably, they have worked with Longwood Gardens, the Stroud Water Research Center, Mt. Cuba, New Bolton Veterinary Laboratory, the Brandywine Conservancy, and Meliora worked with the Borough of Kennett Square on their Sidewalk and Streetscape Improvements Project that was completed in 2104. 1 https://kennettgreenway.com/ 2 Kennett Township Greenway Trail Master Services Agreement, page 4 3 Kennett Township Greenway Trail Master Services Agreement, page 13 4 Kennett Township Greenway Trail Master Services Agreement, page 24 801 Burrows Run Road Chadds Ford, PA 19317 (610) 388-1300 Fax (610) 388-0461 Website: www.kennett.pa.us Email: [email protected] The second subconsultant Biohabitats recommends specifically for this Kennett Greenway project is Unknown Design. While they are a relatively new practice that was cofounded in 2019 by Claire Agre, the experience she and her associates bring to Unknown Studio, and to Kennett Township, is anything but unknown. Agre led the landscape design for the $90 million Longwood Main Fountain Garden and Longwood’s 40 Year Master Plan. We have the luxury of seeing firsthand how they, through the craft of design and engaged collaboration, “amplify the culture and ecology of the places in which we live.”5 In conclusion, all three of these companies, led by Biohabitats, seamlessly fold into the direction and desires of Kennett Township to preserve the beauty of the landscape while being as responsible and environmentally sustainable as possible. The mission of the Kennett Greenway is to connect the Kennett community to its natural beauty while promoting health, safety, a respect for the environment and a sense of community6. Biohabitats, Meliora, and Unknown Studios truly is the dream team for this initiative and will enable the Kennett Greenway to be an incredible experience for generations to come. 5 Kennett Township Greenway Trail Master Services Agreement, page 42 6 https://kennettgreenway.com/mission/ KENNETT TOWNSHIP GREENWAY TRAIL MASTER SERVICES AGREEMENT April 28, 2020 22 April 2020 Statement of Team Qualifications for the KENNETT TOWNSHIP GREENWAY Landscape Architecture & Public Engagement Services Washington Avenue Green Design-Build Firm Profile Contact Committed to Sustainability Through Thoughtful Design Meliora Design 259 Morgan St. Phoenixville, PA 19460 Founded in 2007 with a focus on sustainable site design and water (610) 933-0123 resources management, Meliora Design’s capabilities have expanded www.melioradesign.com [email protected] to provide a wide array of services to our clients.

As a mission-based environmental design and consulting firm, Biohabitats’ practice is founded on restoring the earth’s natural resources and inspiring ecological stewardship and connection for our communities. Our team includes Unknown Studio, a renowned landscape architecture firm known for thoughtful design and holistic community engagement, as well as Meliora Design, a local woman-owned engineering firm that has deep roots in the community and decades of local expertise in hydrology and civil engineering. Our multidisciplinary team has worked together previously to create holistic and sound designs that balance function with form. We understand this opportunity to work with Kennett Township is focused on design and consulting services for the 14-mile Kennett Greenway Trail loop, where our team will advise on environmentally sound best management practices and design, to support a resilient community asset that respects the importance of functional ecology. Once a Master Services Agreement is signed, the Biohabitats-led team will develop scopes of work specific to projects along the Greenway associated with ecological design. While we understand that there are a handful of initial design priorities, like the Magnolia RR underpass and the Chandler Mill Run design, Biohabitats recommends that the team start our effort with a review and refinement of the existing Greenway Master Plan. This will ensure that science-based ecological considerations for best practices and resilient design have been applied to the full greenway in a holistic approach. A baseline ecological understanding is needed to better address opportunities and constraints, while creating a community amenity that is inclusive, safe, and accessible. We look forward to working with you! Sincerely, BIOHABITATS Jennifer Dowdell Senior Landscape Ecological Planner & Designer, Project Manager 667.401.8472 [email protected]

  • MTA Construction & Development, the Group Within the Agency Responsible for All Capital Construction Work
    NYS Senate East Side Access/East River Tunnels Oversight Hearing May 7, 2021 Opening / Acknowledgements Good morning. My name is Janno Lieber, and I am the President of MTA Construction & Development, the group within the agency responsible for all capital construction work. I want to thank Chair Comrie and Chair Kennedy for the invitation to speak with you all about some of our key MTA infrastructure projects, especially those where we overlap with Amtrak. Mass transit is the lifeblood of New York, and we need a strong system to power our recovery from this unprecedented crisis. Under the leadership of Governor Cuomo, New York has demonstrated national leadership by investing in transformational mega-projects like Moynihan Station, Second Avenue Subway, East Side Access, Third Track, and most recently, Metro-North Penn Station Access, which we want to begin building this year. But there is much more to be done, and more investment is needed. We have a once-in-a-generation infrastructure opportunity with the new administration in Washington – and we thank President Biden, Secretary Buttigieg and Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, for their support. It’s a new day to advance transit projects that will turbo-charge the post-COVID economy and address overdue challenges of social equity and climate change. East Side Access Today we are on the cusp of a transformational upgrade to our commuter railroads due to several key projects. Top of the list is East Side Access. I’m pleased to report that it is on target for completion by the end of 2022 as planned.

    Development News Highlights MANHATTAN - MID-2ND QUARTER 2019 PLUS AN OUTER BOROUGH SNAPSHOT Pictured: 315 Meserole Street Looking Ahead U.S. Treasury Releases Additional Opportunity Zones Guidelines On April 17th the U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a highly anticipated second set of proposed regulations related to the new Opportunity Zone (OZ) tax incentive. Created by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the tax benefi t is designed to drive economic development and create jobs by encouraging long-term investments in economically distressed communities nationwide according to the Treasury department’s press release. The latest 169-page release reportedly delivered guidance in a broader range of areas than many expected, hoping to provide investors who have been on the fence with the clarity needed to begin developing projects in distressed areas nationwide. Some government offi cials anticipate the program could spur $100 billion in new investment into the more than 8,762 zones nationwide, of which 306 are located in New York City; however there exist some concerns among critics that the program will incentivize gentrifi cation, or provide added benefi t to developers for projects they would have been pursued anyway. According to the press release by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), a key part of the newly released guidance clarifi es the “substantially all” requirements for the holding period and use of the tangible business property: • For use of the property, at least 70% of the property must be used in a qualifi ed OZ. • For the holding period of the property, tangible property must be qualifi ed opportunity zone business property for at least 90% of the Qualifi ed Opportunity Fund’s (QOF) or qualifi ed OZ business’s holding period.

  • Federal TIFIA Loan Helps Fund $2 Billion Rail Station P3 in NYC
    Federal TIFIA loan helps fund $2 billion rail station P3 in NYC By Jim Watts Published July 06 2017, 1∶37pm EDT More in Infrastructure, Public-private partnership, TIFIA, Washington DC, New York DALLAS -- A $537.5 million low-interest federal loan will provide most of the state’s contribution to the $1.85 billion redevelopment of an old post office in Manhattan into a modern train station being financed as a public-private partnership. Private partners will invest $630 million in the Moynihan Train Hall project in Manhattan in return for a 99- year concession to operate the facility’s massive commercial concourse. Empire State Development Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao said that the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act loan to the state’s Empire State Development for the Moynihan Train Hall would provide critical financing to the P3 project. “This TIFIA loan will help transform the James A. Farley Post Office Building in Manhattan to include a modern, state-of-the-art train station, delivering extensive improvements for passengers in easing congestion and delays,” she said Wednesday. “This is an important investment in the Northeast Corridor’s rail service and the economic vitality of the region.” The new facility is intended to relieve congestion at New York’s Penn Station, which is the busiest passenger transportation facility in the U.S. with 650,000 passengers per weekday. The 255,000-square-foot train hall will be built in the old post office building across the street from the current Penn Station in midtown Manhattan. It is named for the late Sen.
