The quality of quality planning efforts shows...

I have been mentally preparing a blog entry on the "Mayor's Summer Youth Conservation Corps" effort and half-a**** planning and the setting of objectives vs. thorough and thoughtful planning efforts but in the meantime, Beyond DC has an entry with (as always) great photos about New York City's "Summer Streets" program, in "New York Summer Streets."

Meanwhile, DC's half-a**** comparable effort called "Feet in the Street" is really in a park, almost 7 miles from Downtown and farther away from the more populated parts of the city, active streets and the core of the city, comes up at the end of the month, on August 29th.
