"Arcosanti, a prototype town for 5,000 people designed by Soleri, under construction since 1970. Located at Cordes Junction, in central Arizona, the project is based on Soleri's concept of "Arcology," architecture coherent with ecology. Arcology advocates cities designed to maximize the interaction and accessibility associated with an urban environment; minimize the use of energy, raw materials and land, reducing waste and environmental pollution; and allow interaction with the surrounding natural environment".

A winding path on the Cookstown section of the Trans Canada Trail in Ontario. It was one of my favourite sections on the trail with the closely spaced trees on both sides being a nice touch.

"The idea and image of the European hunter and/or naturalist on expedition in the heartland of a foreign continent lives on in the costume of the safari explorer as bedecked in khakis, pith helmets, and multi-pocketed vests. The safari expeditionist would wear the muted beige and brown or olive colors in their clothing to better camouflage themselves in their environs during an African safari and the helmets, shaped from the light weight core (pith) of a particular tree, would protect them from sun and water exposure. As the European explorers ventured into new territory with their safari expeditions they also documented and glorified their discoveries in record-keeping and literature that found its way back to the continent in ways that would ingrain themselves in the European imagination. Even though we may not wear the same costume in our contemporary expeditions being the global travelers that we are, the image of the safari traveler is an endearing one that still has resonance. "

Hiking on the Cookstown Ontario section of the Trans Canada Trail near lush green backgrounds of trees and shrubs. There is also some small rivers passing by and as you can see a bridge that added to the wonderful trail experience.

TITLE: Rebuild Urban Core
DESIGN PRINCIPLES:
1.Reduce Sprawl-concentrate people, housing and jobs within developed areas-keeping a balance of uses.
2.Public transportation-increase public transportation routes, cross county routes, deterrent times during DOT= less attractive to drive single cars. Incentivize ridership.
3.Defragment existing infrastructure, authorities and government agencies.
4.Conserve remaining farmland-moratorium on land zoned agricultural-establish right to farm within suburban and urban communities
5.Revitalize, rehabilitate, reimagine, rebuild urban core.
NOTES:
-Connected multiuse trail along Lake Erie and Niagara River to Lake Ontario.
-Establish multiuse trails along existing rail, pipeline, and electrical transmission corridors to connect neighborhoods to a regional trail system.
For years, Lovers Key was accessible only by boat and it was said that only lovers traveled to the island to enjoy its remote and solitary beach. Today, it is one of four barrier islands that make up this state park. A haven for wildlife, the islands and their waters are home to West Indian manatees, bottlenose dolphins, roseate spoonbills, marsh rabbits, and bald eagles. The two mile long beach is accessible by boardwalk or tram and is popular for shelling, swimming, picnicking, and sunbathing. Black Island has over five miles of multiuse trails for hiking and bicycling. Anglers and boaters can launch their vessels from the park's boat ramp. The park's concession offers boat and fishing tours, as well as bicycle, canoe and kayak
This wonderful multiuse path runs along the Georgetown and Brampton GO Train corridor, from north of Dupont Street, to Bloor Street, and south to Dundas West. It's a wonderful addition to west Toronto. A proposed extension will take this down to Liberty Village, and a bike path into downtown Toronto.
