  • GPI) Is Excited About the Opportunity to Continue Working with the City of Northampton to Provide Complete Streets Design Services for Main Street (Route 9)
    PROPOSAL Main Street (Route 9) Complete Streets Design Services Submitted to: The City of Northampton Submitted by the Team of: Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. & Brown, Richardson & Rowe August 14, 2018 Engineering | Design | Planning | Construction Management August 14, 2018 Mr. Wayne Feiden, FAICP Director of Planning & Sustainability City of Northampton 210 Main Street Northampton, MA 01060 RE: Proposal – Main Street (Route 9) Complete Streets Design Services Dear Mr. Feiden: Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) is excited about the opportunity to continue working with the City of Northampton to provide Complete Streets Design Services for Main Street (Route 9). This opportunity resonates with us as this is a unique opportunity to work with the City of Northampton to help transform Main Street into an attractive multimodal street that expresses Northampton’s environmental values and supports social gathering and the downtown community. We offer the city a robust team of leaders in street design and engineering tailored to the specific needs of Northampton. Key reasons we feel we are uniquely qualified to champion this project for the city include the following: ▪ Firm Experience: GPI has taken numerous projects through the MassDOT project development and design process - we know what will be required every step of the way and can assist Northampton to navigate this process while developing a design for Main Street that will be funded, constructed and serve as a lasting source of pride for the community. Simply put, GPI knows what it takes to bring a project like this to completion. We are also aware that what Northampton wishes to achieve is not a typical MassDOT project.

  • Ms. Carolyn Mitchell Olmsted Medal Nominations American Society of Landscape Architects 636 Eye Street, NW Washington, DC 20001-3736
    Ms. Carolyn Mitchell Olmsted Medal Nominations American Society of Landscape Architects 636 Eye Street, NW Washington, DC 20001-3736 Dear Ms. Mitchell, It is my pleasure to nominate Renata von Tscharner for ASLA’s Olmsted Medal in recognition of her continuing environmental leadership, vision, and stewardship. For over 30 years, Renata has dedicated her life to improving the quality of life for local residents through her stewardship of Greater Boston’s Charles River Parklands. Like other exceptional leaders and stewards of public lands, Renata von Tscharner is a determined self-starter, an accomplished, energetic instigator, and in fact a visionary. Trained as an architect and city planner at the Institute of Technology in Zurich, Renata then moved to London to work on the Greater London Council’s Covent Garden team. Another aspect of her European background would also influence her in years to come; growing up in the Emmental, and when later living in Basel, Zurich and Bern, Renata loved to swim in the rivers that flow through these cities. In 1979, Renata immigrated to the United States and co-founded the Townscape Institute. In her 15 years as principal there she worked in about 100 cities and towns across America and Europe. With close to 20 years experience as an urban designer, working on and writing about public spaces and "place making" in both Europe and the United States, she has developed a passion for places where beauty and pleasure converge. In her adopted home of Boston, as she traversed the water and shore of the state-owned parklands along of the Charles River, she began to wonder why this magnificent public space and powerful focal point of the greater Boston region was crumbling and overgrown, and who was "in charge” of seeing to its care.

Baker, Governor Karyn E. Polito, Lt. Governor Matthew A. Beaton, Secretary John P. Murray, Commissioner Resource Management Plans provide guidelines for management of properties under the stewardship of the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR). They are intended to be working documents for setting priorities, enabling the Department to adapt to changing fiscal, social and environmental conditions. The planning process provides a forum for communication and cooperation with park visitors, partners and the surrounding communities to ensure transparency in the DCR’s stewardship efforts. The parks within the Charles River Esplanade - New Basin Complex are among the most popular in the Commonwealth. They provide a variety of recreational opportunities, from scenic walks along the river, to bike rides along the 18-mile Dr. Paul Dudley White Bicycle Path, to taking in a summer concert at the Hatch Shell or in City Square Park. These parks are a common ground where people of widely different backgrounds meet. Intense boating activity makes the Lower Basin one of the nation’s great water parks. Each year the Charles River welcomes crew teams and rowers from around the world. The Lower Basin has a long tradition of public rowing and sailing programs.
