The plan area generally includes the St. Johns town center and the Lombard main street, between St. Johns and Columbia Park. Project Overview/Summary The St. Johns/Lombard Plan will be a guide to implement the community’s vision over the next twenty years. Essentially a framework for community growth and development, the plan will address many facets of livability such as land use, transportation, housing and recreation. The plan is guided by the city’s and the region’s plans and policies, which promote the efficient use of land through compact urban development. Both areas are envisioned as pedestrian- friendly places that provide a mix of shopping, entertainment, housing, service, and employment opportunities. A goal of the St. Johns/Lombard Plan is to enhance the livability of the area by identifying community needs and desires, public and private strategies, and actions that will improve existing and future conditions. Public meetings will be held at milestones throughout the process to inform and obtain feedback from members of the community. The plan will culminate in City Council adoption of planning strategies that will provide a vision for the future, a framework for evaluating and implementing public investments, and direction for private projects.

  • New Re:Construction Installation Comes to Historic Chase Manhattan Plaza
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Nicole Kolinsky, [email protected], 212-835-2763 New Re:Construction Installation Comes to Historic Chase Manhattan Plaza – Alliance for Downtown New York Announces Latest Re:Construction Installation Featuring “Around the Corner”– Around the Corner by Greg Lamarche New York, NY (June 15, 2012) — While the renowned Chase Manhattan Plaza undergoes a facelift this year, the Downtown Alliance’s latest Re:Constuction project can now be viewed around the entire historic plaza. This new installation, Around the Corner by artist Greg Lamarche, is located along the perimeter of One Chase Manhattan Bank. “Now residents, workers and visitors around Chase Manhattan Plaza can enjoy Greg Lamarche’s wonderful new addition to our program recasting construction sites as canvases for innovative public art and architecture,” said Elizabeth H. Berger, President of the Downtown Alliance. “Re:Construction is an opportunity for government, artists, curators, property owners and business people to work together to make something beautiful. It’s a win-win for everyone.” Inspired by the dynamism of his native New York City and its culture, Greg Lamarche’s collages combine the city’s relentless rhythm and a dynamic use of color and strong geometric forms that interpret the power, elegance and rebelliousness of urban creativity. This installation is on Pine, Nassau, and Williams streets and the best views of the project can be seen on Pine and Nassau streets. Additional photos can be viewed at http://dwn.twn.tc/s. Lisa Shimamura of Colab Projects served as curator and consultant for this newest installation. “Shapes inspired by block letters are repeated to form a complex graphic skyline of color,” Lamarche said of Around the Corner.

It was launched on 17 October 1871. It made its maiden voyage on 11 April 1872 from Liverpool to New York, via Queenstown. In May of the same year it made a record westbound crossing, between Queenstown and Sandy Hook, which had been held by Cunard's Scotia since 1866. In October 1874 the Adriatic collided with Cunard's Parthia. Both ships were leaving New York harbour and steaming parallel when they were drawn together. The damage to both ships, however, was superficial. The following year, in March 1875, it rammed and sank the US schooner Columbus off New York during heavy fog. In December it hit and sank a sailing schooner in St. George's Channel. The ship was later identified as the Harvest Queen, as it was the only ship unaccounted for. The misfortune of the Adriatic continued when, on 19 July 1878, it hit the brigantine G.A.
