  • The Arch and Colonnade of the Manhattan Bridge Approach and the Proposed Designation of the Related Landmark Site (Item No
    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 25, 1975, Number 3 LP-0899 THE ARCH AND COLONNAD E OF THE MANHATTAN BRIDGE APPROACH, Manhattan Bridge Plaza at Canal Street, Borough of Manhattan. Built 1912-15; architects Carr~re & Hastings. Landmark Site: Borough o£Manhattan Tax Map Block 290, Lot 1 in part consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 23, 1975, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Arch and Colonnade of the Manhattan Bridge Approach and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No . 3). The hearing had been duly ad­ vertised in accordance with . the provisions of law. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS The Manhattan Bridge Approach, a monumental gateway to the bridge, occupies a gently sloping elliptical plaza bounded by Canal, Forsyth and Bayard Streets and the Bowery. Originally designed to accommodate the flow of traffic, it employed traditional forms of arch and colonnade in a monument­ al Beaux-Arts style gateway. The triumphal arch was modeled after the 17th-century Porte St. Denis in Paris and the colonnade was inspired by Bernini's monumental colonnade enframing St. Peter's Square in Rome. Carr~re &Hastings, whose designs for monumental civic architecture include the New York Public Library and Grand Army Plaza, in Manhattan, were the architects of the approaches to the Manhattan Bridge and designed both its Brooklyn and Manhattan approaches. The design of the Manhattan Bridge , the the third bridge to cross the East River, aroused a good deal of controversy.

Although several other architects including the New York library specialist, Edward Tilton and the Atlanta firm of Hentz-Adler-Shulze contributed in later years to the building designs of the Emory Campus, it is the Hornbostel Emory campus plan, dis- criminately set in the Olmsted-influenced Druid Hills area landscape that had and still has a predominating effect on the Emory campus environment.

  • JUNCTION HOLLOW PROJECT: Executive Summary
    JUNCTION HOLLOW PROJECT: IMPROVING BICYCLIST/PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ON NEVILLE & BOUNDARY STREETS Report of: Neville/Boundary Working Group Oakland Green Team OPDC Bike Pittsburgh June, 2017 Executive Summary This report makes a case for connecting the Junction Hollow trail along Neville Street to North Oakland. Neville Street is a major bicycling corridor, providing the most direct access from Shadyside, the eastern section of Oakland, and Squirrel Hill to the popular riverfront trail system, as well as being a highly trafficked route for people driving to Central Oakland. This creates daily conflict, and occasional injury, and is generally a hazardous situation. The recent completion of Carnegie Mellon University’s (CMU) South Neville Parking Lot opened up a huge opportunity to extend the existing Junction Hollow Trail (JHT) into the heart of Oakland. Currently, access to the trail is hidden at the end of Boundary Street. When CMU built the parking lot, they reserved space for a trail between the lot and rail road tracks. Connecting this partially built trail along railroad grade to the existing JHT would eliminate the need for bikes and cars to “share the road” within a dangerous section of the corridor. Extending the trail is an opportunity for a public-private partnership that will greatly improve its access, utility, and safety. Between the railroad tracks and Fifth Avenue, we present an option for improving conditions for cyclists and pedestrians along city-owned streets. This completes the connection to North Oakland, Shadyside, and the city’s bicycle lane and trail network. This report summarizes current conditions and construction (Section 2 and 3), and proposes a strategy for improving the cyclist/pedestrian infrastructure (Section 4).

    History and Organization Table of Contents History and Organization Carnegie Mellon University History Carnegie Mellon Colleges, Branch Campuses, and Institute Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar Carnegie Mellon Silicon Valley Software Engineering Institute Research Centers and Institutes Accreditations by College and Department Carnegie Mellon University History Introduction The story of Carnegie Mellon University is unique and remarkable. After its founding in 1900 as the Carnegie Technical Schools, serving workers and young men and women of the Pittsburgh area, it became the degree-granting Carnegie Institute of Technology in 1912. “Carnegie Tech,” as it was known, merged with the Mellon Institute to become Carnegie Mellon University in 1967. Carnegie Mellon has since soared to national and international leadership in higher education—and it continues to be known for solving real-world problems, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovation. The story of the university’s famous founder—Andrew Carnegie—is also remarkable. A self-described “working-boy” with an “intense longing” for books, Andrew Carnegie emigrated from Scotland with his family in 1848 and settled in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He became a self-educated entrepreneur, whose Carnegie Steel Company grew to be the world’s largest producer of steel by the end of the nineteenth century. On November 15, 1900, Andrew Carnegie formally announced: “For many years I have nursed the pleasing thought that I might be the fortunate giver of a Technical Institute to our City, fashioned upon the best models, for I know of no institution which Pittsburgh, as an industrial centre, so much needs.” He concluded with the words “My heart is in the work,” which would become the university’s official motto.
