Winthrop Services Mayor of Newport, Council-at- Large Brigid Rubin Senior Clerk, Department of Lynn Underwood Ceglie Public Services, Recreation Vice Chair, 2nd Ward Councilor Division 5 NEWPORT TREE AND OPEN SPACE COMMISSION 6 February 2017 Dear Friends: Newport enjoys a world renowned reputation for its natural beauty, historical and architectural heritage, cultural resources, and legendary harbor and coastline. Trees, parks, open spaces, view corridors, and wide open vistas contribute greatly to the quality of life for Newporters and the appeal of Newport to its visitors. These elements are equally crucial to the economic vitality of the City. With such a wealth of attributes, it is easy to take them for granted. And yet with the relentless pressure of development, protection of these key assets becomes vital. Incredibly, Newport has not had a comprehensive parks and open space master plan since the Olmsted plan of 1913. An inventory, needs assessment, and Master Plan of Newport’s trees, parks, and open space is long overdue and crucial to the protection and enhancement of these essential assets to life in Newport. The Newport Open Space Partnership was formed to work with the greater community to bring such a plan to reality. The Partnership would like to express our sincerest thanks to the hundreds of individuals and organizations whose ideas and insights shaped the Newport Tree, Parks & Open Space Master Plan. This was a truly a collaborative effort, and public input was a critical component of this planning process. Our community’s interest and commitment to trees, parks and open spaces was demonstrated by an unprecedented depth and level of public involvement and collaboration. Over 45 local nonprofits and private foundations, the City and State, and hundreds of private citizens supported this historic effort to envision a better future for Newport. Between 100 and 150 people attended each of our public planning meetings, online surveys received over 500 responses, and a partnership with the Health Equity Zone provided extensive input from Newport neighborhoods that often lack meaningful representation in planning efforts. We have been gratified to find a very simple, broadly-shared understanding across the many organizations and individuals responsible for the stewardship of Newport’s natural and cultural resources: the management of our public parks and open space can and should meet national best practice

  • The Closing of Military Bases in New England: Does the Military Ever Really Leave?
    John Mullin, et al., Int. J. of Herit. Archit., Vol. 2, No. 3 (2018) 425–433 THE CLOSING OF MILITARY BASES IN NEW ENGLAND: DOES THE MILITARY EVER REALLY LEAVE? JOHN MULLIN1, ZEENAT KOTVAL-K2 & ZENIA KOTVAL2 1University of Massachusetts, USA. 2Michigan State University, USA. ABSTRACT The physical and cultural patinas of military places are so fixed in the collective memories of New Eng- landers that well after closure, they remain part of our culture. At times, it may be that some military reserve functions remain, some military research is ongoing, or simply that the land, long ago con- taminated by fuel or the debris of weapons firing, is permanently off-limits. Other times, it may be the rigid precise layout of the barracks square, solidly built structures, or the placement of historic objects. The fact remains that military bases remain military in the region’s collective memory well after active forces have left. The paper begins with our examination of how New England military installations have been transformed since World War II. There are tens of installations that have been closed or dramati- cally changed since that time. We then determine, analyse and explain the characteristics that resulted in their having a continued military presence. Finally, we summarize our results to date. Keywords: base closings, military legacy, repurposing military bases. 1 INTRODUCTION Over the past 20 years, we have been involved, as academic researchers and planning consult- ants, in analysing the impacts of actual and potential military base closings throughout New England. At times, this work was simply to assess property records for the Boston Navy Yard, Massachusetts; undertake citizen participation exercises for the Portsmouth’s Naval Ship- yard, Kittery, Maine; prepare a master plan for Camp Edwards, Cape Cod, Massachusetts; analyse the market potential for development at Quonset Point, Rhode Island or determine fiscal impacts for development at Fort Devens, Massachusetts.

  • 1 the Big Jump Project Application
    The Big Jump Project Application APPLICATION WELCOME The Big Jump Project is a strategic three-year effort to help ten cities show that quickly connecting good biking networks and encouraging use can result in a big jump in biking in a defined focus area within a city. We seek places that have strong leadership with a shared vision and improvements already in the pipeline. The Big Jump Project will develop common measures of use replicable in any community in the U.S., and institutionalize the practice of bicycle network planning throughout U.S. cities, connecting people on bikes to places of opportunity, transit, and recreation. This application will be used to assess the qualities of your Big Jump Project team, focus area, and opportunities for biking growth over the next three years. The full application can be downloaded for offline reference, but must be submitted by October 28, 2016 using the online submission process. A review committee will discuss and assess all applications during the end of 2016. As part of the selection process, PeopleForBikes staff may contact one or more of the individuals listed in your applications to discuss the merits and potential of your community’s involvement. Finalists will be notified in early January 2017. COMMUNITY PROFILE Please provide us with a general demographic profile of your city, town, county, or other municipal authority. Please use ACS 5-Year Estimate data (http://factfinder.census.gov) 1. Community Name: City of Newport 2. State: Rhode Island 3.
