Hastings Riverwalk
Another scenic section of the Paul Henry
Thornapple Trail, the 2.4-mile Hastings Riverwalk was completed in 2015 from the former
railbed on Industrial Park Drive to a circular
loop at Bliss Riverfront Park. The paved multiuse trail is part of a proposed network of paths
and nature trails currently under development
along the Thornapple River by the city of Hastings. Hastings is a popular destination for paddlesports and home of the world-famous Barry–
Roubaix Killer Gravel Road Race in the spring.
You’ll find bicycle and kayak rentals, lodging
and several good places to eat in Hastings.

The TAB Building in Albion was designed by the now-retired Queensland architect Geoffrey Pie in conjunction with Hall Phillips and Wilson Architects (now Phillips Smith Conwell Architects). It was a government funded project during the mid-1970s.
Pie received the Robin Boyd Award for residential architect for his own home in 1986 and was made a member of the Order of Australia in 2014.
The TAB Building was the recipient of the 25 Year Award for Enduring Architecture from the Queensland chapter of the Australian Institute of Architects in 2007. In its award citation, the jury praised the building for having “weathered generations of reaction to, and subsequent re-embracing of, the principles of functional modernism.”
The institute, led by then-chapter president Richard Kirk, lodged an application with the Queensland government’s Department of Environment and Heritage Protection to have the building placed on the State Heritage Register in September 2015. The bid was rebuffed the following year.
“The [building] is a fine surviving example of Late Twentieth Century Brutalist architecture, which is located on the city fringe of Brisbane,” reads the institute’s application.
“This ten storey commercial building has enjoyed a certain degree of public notoriety as a local landmark for Albion since its construction. Although the building is only around forty metres in height, its comparative scale against the late-nineteenth or early twentieth century commercial architecture of the adjacent Albion centre generates a considerable visual presence for the (former) TAB Building in this locality.”
As the tallest building on an arterial road, the building was “a solitary, prominent, forward scout for modern urban architecture in the middle ring suburbs.”
Although heritage protection for the Albion TAB Building was rejected, the company behind the Hudson Common project intend to repurpose the existing structure in their multiuse precinct of residential, commercial, and corporate.

There are miles of multiuse trails in Edmonton's river valley. They are always busy during the summer months and on nice winter days there are many hikers and cyclists as well. The snow covered trees add to the beauty of these trails as well.
The Miniature Manned Multiuse Manipulator Manoeuvring Machinery Moon Module or MMMMMMMM was possibly named after a Classic Spaceman had just finished a particularly satisfying portion of tea & cake: almost certainly Battenberg. It was mainly used for repairing space stations in orbit around the Moon and for loading and unloading cargo ships in deep space.
Originally, these craft were kept in small, individual hangars but the pod bay doors proved to be difficult to open and so they were eventually abandoned.

Todd Creek Trestle restoration completed
Extensive repair work has been completed on the historic Todd Creek Trestle along the Galloping Goose Regional Trail near Sooke Potholes Regional Park.
The $1.7-million restoration included replacing timbers, foundation, support posts, stringers, braces, deck planks and guard rails. Work began in October 2019 by the Capital Regional District.
The Todd Creek trestle was built in 1917 as part of the Canadian National Railway. It was decommissioned as a rail line in 1984.
The restoration work adds 35 to 50 years to the life span of the structure.
The Todd Creek trestle is 113 metres long and rises 23 metres above the creek bed.
The trestle remained closed for one year while construction activities were underway. It is now open to the public.

Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990, to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the U.S. state of Oregon. The monument was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest, which is managed by the U.S. Forest Service, and includes 54,822 acres (86 sq mi; 222 km2) of lakes, lava flows, and geologic features in central Oregon.
From 1964 to 1966, the volcano was used for training Apollo astronauts.
Description
Newberry National Volcanic Monument consists of four primary visitor destinations: Lava Butte, Lava River Cave, Lava Cast Forest, and Newberry Caldera.
The highest point within the monument is the summit of Paulina Peak at 7,985 ft (2,434 m), with views of the Oregon Cascades and the high desert. Paulina Peak may be accessed by road during the summer months, and as the road is both steep and rough, with hairpin turns towards the summit, trailers or long vehicles are discouraged. The summit area of Newberry Volcano holds two alpine lakes full of trout, East Lake and Paulina Lake.
The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres (280 ha). The black, shiny obsidian field is easily accessible from good roads within the caldera, or a trail that traverses the flow.
Lava Cast Forest is roughly 25 miles (40 km) south of Bend, accessible via a 9-mile (14 km) gravel road from U.S. Highway 97. Lava Cast Forest contains a 6,000-year-old lava flow that created molds of ancient trees.
Lava Butte is roughly 11 miles (18 km) south of Bend, Oregon.[Lava Butte is a cinder cone volcano that rises 500 feet (150 m) above the Lava Lands Visitor Center. It can be accessed by either vehicle or hiking up a paved road. Interpretive signs, views of the surrounding lava flow and mountains, and an active fire lookout are found on top.
Lava River Cave is roughly 13 miles (21 km) south of Bend. Lava River Cave is open to visitors from May through September. Lava River Cave is the largest uncollapsed lava tube in Oregon, and may be explored by lantern. Temperatures in the cave average 42 °F (6 °C). White-nose syndrome has not yet affected resident bats in the cave.
Newberry Caldera
Newberry Caldera is roughly 37 miles (60 km) from Bend and 19 miles (31 km) from La Pine. Newberry Caldera is the largest developed area within the national monument. The caldera was formed when a magma chamber collapsed. Over time the caldera filled up with water that created two lakes, Paulina Lake and East Lake. Newberry Caldera has many natural tourism opportunities. Visitors have access to campgrounds, trails, water recreation, lodging, viewpoints, and interpretive guides with Forest Service staff. Newberry Caldera has medium use most of the year with some high usage during peak times of the year.
There are twelve trails within Newberry Caldera ranging from 0.25 miles to 21 miles. These trails offer a variety of uses from hiking only to multiuse with hiking, biking, and horse allowed. Along the trails you can find access to fishing, viewpoints, interpretive signs, picnic areas, and even hot springs. There are seven boat launches for water recreationists, (the lakes do restrict boats to 10 miles per hour). The Caldera also offers nine campgrounds accommodating both tent and RV camper. Newberry Caldera also offers a variety of winter activates such as snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and rooms for rent at the resorts.'

Newberry National Volcanic Monument ist ein Naturschutzgebiet vom Typ eines National Monuments im US-Bundesstaat Oregon. Es umfasst den Newberry-Vulkan, einen der flächenmäßig größten Schildvulkane in der Kaskadenkette, und einen etwa 40 km langen Lavafluss nach Nordwesten. Das über 224 Quadratkilometer große Schutzgebiet wurde im November 1990 vom US-Kongress ausgewiesen und wird vom US Forest Service verwaltet. Es liegt vollständig innerhalb des Deschutes National Forest, einem Nationalforst.
Vulkan und Schutzgebiet sind nach John Strong Newberry (1822–1892) benannt, einem Wissenschaftler, der von 1857 bis 1858 eine Expedition der US-Armee begleitete, die mögliche Eisenbahnstrecken vermessen sollte. Newberry war maßgeblich an der Erforschung der Geologie und Botanik Oregons beteiligt.
Geographie
Der Newberry-Vulkan liegt im Deschutes County etwa 45 km südlich von Bend. Er ist mit rund 40 km Durchmesser ein besonders großer Schildvulkan. Wie alle Schildvulkane erhebt er sich relativ flach aus der Umgebung. Der höchste Punkt Paulina Peak mit 2434 m liegt etwa 1000 m über dem Deschutes River westlich des Berges.
Mittelpunkt des Vulkans ist die Caldera mit einem Durchmesser von etwa 6,5 km. In ihr liegen die beiden Seen Paulina Lake und East Lake, der jüngste Lavafluss Big Obsidian Flow und ein kleiner Schlackenkegel namens Central Pumice Cone. Der auf 1935 m Höhe liegende, bis zu 76 Meter tiefe Paulina Lake ist 615 Hektar groß, der East Lake ist kleiner. Beide Seen werden nur durch Regenwasser, Schmelzwasser und heiße vulkanische Quellen gespeist. Abfluss der Seen ist der Paulina Creek, der durch eine Schlucht auf der Westseite aus der Caldera fließt. Bis auf diese Schlucht ist die Caldera von einem 200 bis 300 Meter hohen Kraterrand umgeben. Der Paulina Peak bildet einen Teil des Randes. Über die gesamte Fläche des Vulkans sind rund 400 kleine Schlackenkegel verteilt. Geologen vermuten, dass die Caldera durch den Einsturz eines Vulkans von etwa 2700 Meter Höhe und etwa 40 Kilometer Durchmesser vor etwa 500.000 Jahren entstanden ist. Weite Teile der Umgebung des Newberry Craters wurden durch Lavaströme bedeckt, die bis zu 110 Kilometer weit geflossen sind. In einem in nordwestlicher Richtung verlaufenden Lavaflusses liegt der Lava Cast Forest, wo Abdrücke von Baumstämmen in der erkalteten Lava erhalten sind. In der Nähe liegen der Lava Butte, ein 1528 m hohen Vulkankegel, der sich über 150 Meter über der Umgebung erhebt, und mehrere Lavaröhren. Die 13 km südlich von Bend am Highway 97 gelegene Lava River Cave ist eine solche Lavaröhre, die über 1,8 km lang, bis zu 15 m breit und bis 18 m hoch ist. Durch die Lavaflüsse wurde auch der Deschutes River zeitweilig aufgestaut; noch heute ist die Schwelle als die etwa 30 m hohen Benham Falls genannten Wasserfälle erhalten.
Die ältesten Gesteine des Vulkans sind nur rund 700.000 Jahre alt. In den letzten 10.000 Jahren gab es im Krater etwa 25 Ausbrüche, der Lavafluss Big Obsidian Flow stammt etwa aus dem Jahr 650 und stellt die jüngste vulkanische Aktivität im zentralen Oregon dar. Der Vulkan ist nicht erloschen, in der Zukunft sind sowohl Lavaflüsse wie Eruptionen zu erwarten.
Geschichte
Ausgrabungen am Paulina Lake haben ergeben, dass Paläoindianer schon vor 10.000 Jahren die Caldera aufgesucht haben. Der East Lake Obsidian Flow und der Big Obsidian Flow lieferten für die Indianer wertvollen Obsidian, den sie für Steinwerkzeuge wie Schaber und Klingen verwendeten. Der Newberry Crater gehört seit 1908 zum Deschutes National Forest. Im November 1990 wurde der Krater zum National Monument erklärt. Das Gelände der 1889 entdeckten Lava River Cave wurde 1926 dem Staat Oregon geschenkt, der sie zum State Park erklärte. 1981 tauschte Oregon den Park gegen andere Gebiete des US Forest Service.
Touristische Anlagen
Das Hauptbesucherzentrum des National Monument, das Lava Lands Visitor Center liegt südlich von Bend am Highway 97 und informiert über Geologie, Ökologie und Kulturgeschichte. Vom Besucherzentrum führt auch ein Weg auf den Lava Butte, von dessen Gipfel sich ein weiter Ausblick sowie ein Blick in den bis zu 60 m tiefen Krater bietet. Das Lava Lands Visitor Center ist von Mai bis Oktober geöffnet. Ein zweites, kleineres Besucherzentrum am Paulina Lake ist nur im Sommer geöffnet.
Die Lava River Cave liegt am Highway 97 südlich von Bend. Der Highway 97 überquert die Höhle, die im Sommer zu besichtigen ist.
Seit 1912 wurden in den beiden Seen der Caldera Fische eingesetzt, vorwiegend Regenbogenforellen und Rotlachs. Daher ist der Angelsport die wichtigste touristische Aktivität im Gebiet. An beiden Seen gibt es je ein rustikales Hotel mit Einrichtungen für Angler; insgesamt sieben Campingplätze sind über das ganze Schutzgebiet verteilt. Durch das Schutzgebiet führt der über 33 Kilometer lange Crater Rim Trail und zahlreiche andere Wege mit einer Gesamtlänge von insgesamt 96 Kilometer.

From the 'Facebook Dutch Gap Conservation Area Hike' page
Surrounding the 1611 Citie of Henricus is nature in splendid abundance. With the James River as a backdrop, the 800-plus-acre Dutch Gap Conservation Area includes a bounty of woodlands, wildlife and waterways. Dutch Gap also offers locations for those simply looking for a quiet place to reflect on life in a peaceful, open-air oasis. This magnificent offering of idyllic, richly diverse land is bordered by the James River on the north and encircled by the old oxbow channel. Featuring a bounty of birds, fish, waterfowl and other wildlife, the 4.5 Dutch Gap Trail is a multiuse trail open for hiking, biking and horseback riding, and is dog friendly. The easy trail takes hikers along bottomlands, meadows, a small pond and wetlands and circumnavigates the tidal lagoon.
Considered by the Audubon Society to be one of the top birding sites in Virginia, Dutch Gap contains a large heron rookery, bald eagles and other hard-to-find species. According to the county website, bird-watching is superb in all seasons. Wetlands and ponds attract gadwalls, pintails, widgeons, ringnecks, Canada geese, kingfisher, osprey and bald eagles. Meadows draw sparrows, goldfinches, indigo buntings, eastern bluebirds, kingbirds and sparrow hawks. Forests are filled with the songs of red-eyed vireo, scarlet tanagers, crested flycatchers, American redstart and more.

Hudson Yards is a neighborhood on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan, bounded roughly by 30th Street in the south, 41st Street in the north, the West Side Highway in the west, and Eight Avenue in the east. The area is the site of a large-scale redevelopment program that is being planned, funded and constructed under a set of agreements among the State of New York, City of New York, and Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), with the aim of expanding the Midtown Manhattan business district westward to the Hudson River.
The largest of the projects made possible by the rezoning is the 28-acre (11 ha) multiuse Hudson Yards real estate development by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, which is being built over the West Side Rail Yard. Construction began in 2012 with the groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards, and is projected to be completed by 2024. According to its master plan, created by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the Hudson Yards development would include 16 skyscrapers to be constructed in two phases. Architects including Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Thomas Heatherwick, Roche-Dinkeloo, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro contributed designs for individual structures. Major office tenants include or will include fashion company Tapestry, gym chain Equinox Fitness, and financial company BlackRock.

Following part of what was originally known as the Cherokee Trail along Cherry Creek, the southern branch of the Smoky Hill Trail was developed for stage travel in 1865 as an alternative to less direct routes to Denver along the South Platte and Arkansas Rivers. Originally the route had six mile houses in the Cherry Creek Valley that offered travelers food, drink, and a place to stay: Four, Seven, Nine, Twelve, Seventeen, and Twenty. Aside from Seventeen Mile House, the only other original mile house still standing in the Denver area is Four Mile House.
Like many other mile houses and inns along stage lines, Seventeen Mile House was basically a farm or ranch house that also served travelers. George Schleier probably built the oldest section of the house in the early or middle 1860s. Later that decade the house was owned at different times by Mary Hightower and the brothers William and George Clayton. In 1870 the Claytons sold the house for $800 to Nelson and Susan Doud, who also owned Twenty Mile House in Parker. In 1874 the Douds moved to Seventeen Mile House. They enlarged the house and added a barn. Throughout these years, Seventeen Mile House served as a tavern and inn for travelers along the Smoky Hill Trail, though it was not a stage stop.
The nature of travel along the Smoky Hill Trail changed rapidly after the Denver Pacific and Kansas-Pacific Railroads reached Denver in 1870. The Smoky Hill Trail became a feeder line rather than a main transportation route. In 1872 the original trail, which ran west of the house and barn, was replaced by Highway 13 in the same location.
Farm
In 1881 the Douds sold Seventeen Mile House to George Cummings. The Cummings family owned the property until 1906, when they sold it to Henry and Julia Blesse. In 1915 it was acquired by S. J. Lindholm. Over the next two decades the property saw several changes. Lindholm built a brick silo and added a bunkhouse to the west side of the main house. In addition, the highway through the farm was rerouted twice. Originally running west of the house and barn near Cherry Creek, in 1914 the road was renamed Highway 83 and rerouted to run between the house and the barn. In 1937 the highway was rerouted again to its current path east of the buildings.
In 1938 John and Dorothy Race bought the farm, which had been neglected for several years and was in bad need of repairs. The Races enlarged the property to 860 acres and operated a dairy farm on the land until the 1960s, when they shifted to raising beef cattle. About twenty-nine acres were planted with grains such as wheat, barley, and corn, with a small orchard of apple, plum, and pear trees near the house. In 1948 the property hosted a “Fitting the Farm for the Future” event that drew 15,000 people to see demonstrations of new farming and irrigation techniques.
Today
After John Race sold the farm in the late 1970s, developers began to eye the property. All the potential development plans called for tearing down the house and barn. After a public outcry, the new owner backed down and placed the property in a protective easement. In 1983 the Cherry Creek Historical Society got the property listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Some stabilization and maintenance work was performed on the house and barn in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
To secure the future of the house and barn, in 2001 a large group of local governments and preservation groups—Arapahoe County, Douglas County, Aurora, Parker, Great Outdoors Colorado, the Gates Family Foundation, the State Historical Fund, the Trust for Public Land, and the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District—contributed money to acquire the property.
The house and barn are now administered by Arapahoe County as Seventeen Mile House Farm Park. The park is adjacent to other parks and open spaces, helping to preserve the open feel of the area when wagons still rolled along the Smoky Hill Trail. Visitors and school groups can take tours offered by the Cherry Creek Historical Society, and the park also provides access to the Cherry Creek Regional Trail.
In 2007 Arapahoe County developed a master plan for Seventeen Mile House Farm Park, which called for establishing a model farm at the site illustrating agricultural life in the early twentieth century. The plan also proposed a new multiuse building on one corner of the property that could be used for a museum and meeting space.

Custom design now made by machine in German owned factory in Japan. Bob Kramer died in a fire in 2023 in Washington State where he made knives by hand often selling for $2,000.00 or more. We have 3 of these and will probably get a 4th as have been using them as steak knives above and beyond their intended use as utility cutlery. They have a solid balanced feel in one's hand. Easy to keep exceptionally sharp.
I finished off my New Years Day birding efforts on these Northern Shovelers at my local regional park. There were LOTS of them, even compared to a couple of weeks ago, but they are really shy and tend to head for the other side of the pond, no matter how far away I think I am (and not to mention, it IS a multiuse park and this was a holiday). This is a nice collection of males and females. According to Audubon, the Shoveler is related to Blue-winged and Cinnamon teals and, like the teal, the males wear eclipse plumage till February.

Barclays Center is a multi-purpose indoor arena in Brooklyn, New York. It sits partly on a platform over the Metropolitan Transportation Authority–owned Vanderbilt Yards rail yard at Atlantic Avenue. It is part of a proposed $4.9 billion sports arena, business and residential complex known as the Atlantic Yards.
Externally, the arena's basic shape is that of three articulated bands, and features a glass curtain wall covered by a "latticework" made up of 12,000 preweathered steel panels, which are meant to evoke the image of Brooklyn's brownstones. An 117-by-56-foot "Oculus" extends over a section of the plaza outside of the main arena entrance, and contains an irregularly-shaped display screen that loops around on the inside of the structure.
SHoP's involvement with Atlantic Yards began in July 2009 when FCRC asked the firm to cloak a utilitarian scheme for the arena by sports-facilities specialist Ellerbe Becket. SHoP relied heavily on digital tools for the skin's design and fabrication, first using the software Rhinoceros to establish the surface geometry and then CATIA to further develop the form. Working with the firm's affiliate, SHoP Construction, the architects virtually “unfolded” the 12,000 individual panels and exported them to another program that “nested,” or placed, them on 59¼-inch-wide, 3/16-inch-thick steel sheets in a way that would optimize yield.
To produce the patina, the fabricator subjected the CNC-cut and machine-bent panels to a simulated weathering process by misting them with water. The panels were suspended from a conveyor belt, and each was exposed to 12 to 16 wetting-and-drying cycles per day for three and a half months.
The result is a rich coating of rust—one that makes the arena seem surprisingly in sync with the borough's industrial heritage, as though it could already be 100 years old. But even if Barclays feels as though it belongs on its site, like an architectural relic, it can't be declared a civic triumph just yet, since it is only the first component of the much larger project now expected to take 25 years to realize. Not until a few of the planned 14 residential towers are built, including some of the promised 2,250 units of affordable rental housing, and at least a few of the anticipated eight acres of public space are completed, will anyone be able to determine if Atlantic Yards, with the arena as its linchpin, will add to or detract from the streetscape of Brooklyn.

Silo No. 5 looms over the Old Port of Montreal. The steel sides of the grain elevators' oldest part are mottled with rust, cracks have appeared in some of the concrete interiors and many windows in the upper storeys are missing.
In its heyday, Silo No. 5 was an ultra-modern facility for grain storage and transfer. Since it closed in 1994, the main thing produced here has been talk. Many projects have been discussed, including its conversion into a museum, a centre for network servers, a hotel, a condominium tower and various multiuse schemes.
One multiuse proposal included a new home for the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, which called the silo "a site of undeniable strategic interest." Nothing happened, with that project or any other.
There are other disused silos in Montreal, though none as large or conspicuous as Silo No. 5, which stands on Pointe-du-Moulin in the midst of Quebec's biggest tourist attraction. It's the cathedral among the city's grain elevators, just as it may be the industrial equivalent of Quebec's many grand disused churches, which are equally difficult to adapt.
No. 5 is owned Canada Lands Co. (CLC - a federal Crown corporation) and its subsidiary, the Old Port of Montreal Corp.
I took these back in November of last year. It is always amazing to find these abandoned places. The wikipedia article on Desert Center is interesting to read.

The school district has only 13 kids, so they are all at the 'newer' school, Eagle Mountain. That school is right by the abandoned Kaiser mining town, Eagle Mountain.
I think they thought that the school would get other use. Still there are two pianos, the typewriter, the cabinets and all those chairs. I can only imagine that it would host town meetings in that multiuse room with a stage.
There is always a sense of something at abandoned buildings it feels like a spirit of surprise. No one intended to abandon this when they built it, and when the building is finally abandoned, it seems to always still be a bit of a surprise and disbelievable. So much so that there are always things left behind that confirm the lack of a belief that this is the end.
(for Mauri [& also for everyone who's enjoyed the sunsets from the Onigam Street bridge from which this was shot: as of midnight of september 12, 2o21 (tonight), the bridge – & all of Lemieux Island – will be closed to all "unauthorized" traffic as the island is transformed from a dogpark to a construction site on behalf of the "rehabilitation" of the Prince Of Wales bridge (subsequently to be called the William Commanda Bridge) into a multiüse causeway. this is doubtless one of the last civilian photographs to be able to be shot from the bridge until its reöpening in the summer of 2o24 (projected project finish target)])
About the Galloping Goose Regional Trail in Colwood.
The Galloping Goose Regional Trail (GGT) is a picturesque multi-use trail that runs through the heart of Colwood as it follows the old railway line on its 55km journey from Victoria to Sooke.
The trail, which is owned and maintained by the Capital Regional District, attracts thousands of users every day. From March 1, 2024 to March 1, 2025 a total of 270,077 pedestrians and cyclists have passed the automated counter on the Galloping Goose Regional Trail near Wale Road.
The new Colwood Gateway Bridge will allow for a safe, seamless connection that encourages more residents and visitors to travel in and around Colwood on foot or by bike, supporting the City's goals for improved health and well being, easing traffic congestion, improving air quality, and reducing our climate impact.
The Gap (between Prospectors Mountain & Albright Peak) - Captured alongside the Muti-use-pathway / Moose to Gros Venture Junction, which runs parallel to U.S. 191 / 89 / 26 (where "multiuse" is a very real thing), Albright View Overlook, Jackson, Wyoming (43.633551, -110.717264)
I'm not sure why the pull-off is called an overlook, since Albright View Overlook is at 6,500 feet, and Albright Peak (a mere 5.5 miles away) is 10,552 feet. So, you may not be looking up to see the peak, but you're certainly not looking down to see it.

Hudson Yards is a neighborhood on the West Side of Midtown Manhattan, bounded roughly by 30th Street in the south, 43rd Street in the north, the West Side Highway in the west, and Eighth Avenue in the east. The area is the site of a large-scale redevelopment program that is being planned, funded, and constructed under a set of agreements among the State of New York, City of New York, and Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), with the aim of expanding the Midtown Manhattan business district westward to the Hudson River. The program includes a major rezoning of the Far West Side, an extension of the New York City Subway's 7 and trains to a new subway station at 34th Street and 11th Avenue, a renovation and expansion of the Javits Center, and a financing plan to fund the various components. The various components are being planned by New York City Department of City Planning and New York City Economic Development Corporation.
The largest of the projects made possible by the rezoning is the 28-acre (11 ha) multiuse Hudson Yards real estate development by Related Companies and Oxford Properties, which is being built over the West Side Rail Yard. Construction began in 2012 with the groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards, and is projected to be completed by 2024. According to its master plan, created by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, the Hudson Yards development would include 16 skyscrapers to be constructed in two phases. Architects including Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, Thomas Heatherwick, Roche-Dinkeloo, and Diller Scofidio + Renfro contributed designs for individual structures. Major office tenants include or will include fashion company Tapestry, gym chain Equinox Fitness, and financial company BlackRock.
The area also includes other redevelopment projects. One such project is Manhattan West, developed by Brookfield Property Partners over the rail yard west of Ninth Avenue between 31st and 33rd streets. Other structures being developed in the Hudson Yards Zoning District include 3 Hudson Boulevard and the Spiral. The special district also includes Pennsylvania Station, the subject of a major overhaul.
Hudson Yards is part of Manhattan Community District 4 and its primary ZIP Codes are 10001 and 10018.[1] It is patrolled by the 10th Precinct of the New York City Police Department.

As an avid, recreational cyclist, I congratulate and thank Saanich Public Works for the new Ansell Road cycling connector at McKenzie Avenue. In conjunction with the new, controlled crosswalk and dedicated bike lane along Larchwood, it's my opinion the project could not have been designed nor implemented better. The workmanship is of the highest standards and reflects upon the skilled workers who completed it.
The new crossing will make life better and safer for those of us choosing to ride it.
N.B. Note the cut-away curb for eastbound cyclists (UVic) and the shared pathway for westbound. Cool.
Located in Wake County 10 miles northwest of downtown Raleigh, William B. Umstead State Park is a cherished retreat from bustling urban life. The park features an extensive network of hiking and multiuse trails, as well as three manmade lakes and their tributaries that are perfect for fishing. Both park entrances offer picnic shelters, and Crabtree Creek offers camping areas. Group camps and the historic Maple Hill Lodge let visitors experience a rustic overnight experience without typical modern camping amenities.
