We will try to push for Sunday meetings around 2pmish, if that works for everyone. We may have to skype if necessary! And this blog will exist to encourage/maximize daily participation/discussion.
Initial thoughts/ideas/approaches to the open city challenge:
- empowerment strategies_community participation--hiring local contractors, workshops/field trips for local schools...
- environmental/ecological intervention_microgreen patches, urban farms, mobile farms/markets
- traffic patterns
- construction, esp. underground...how can vehicular, pedestrian, bicycle traffic coexist?
- parking, accessibility, walking distances from various neighborhoods
- safety and noise mitigation
- how will this new line interact/connect/interfere with existing public transit? (the other light rail, the marc trains, amtrak, and buses)
- light shafts for underground; surface/subsurface interaction
20 stops. 4 stops for each team member to research/survey/diagram/report back on by the next meeting. in addition, each of us will research on precedents and imagine what we would like to see happen along the red line!
