Rebuilding Place in the Urban Space

"A community’s physical form, rather than its land uses, is its most intrinsic and enduring characteristic." [Katz, EPA] This blog focuses on place and placemaking and all that makes it work--historic preservation, urban design, transportation, asset-based community development, arts & cultural development, commercial district revitalization, tourism & destination development, and quality of life advocacy--along with doses of civic engagement and good governance watchdogging.

A committed resident clearing the crosswalk median on his block

I talked to this person, who said he lives on the block and doesn't own a car, while he was shoveling out a path through the median of snow at 3rd Street and Maryland Ave. NE yesterday...
