RMLA Begins Chemung River Master Plan - V. 2
Rick is working with Haas Landscape Architects and Foor Architects on a followup study to their successful Chemung River Master Plan. The followup study is for Steuben County which includes the Village of Corning, New York.
RMLA has been working with the IBI Group in preparing the Albany Bicycle Master Plan for the City of Albany New York. The public response for this project has been overwhelming with more than 250 participants at two public meetings held earlier this year. A final meeting will be held at the end of October and the final report completed in November 2009. Implementation plans and pilot projects are being planned by the City Planning Department.
Rick completed the Stewart Park Rehabilitation Action Plan in August 2009. The plan outlines a series of projects with proposed partners, costs, funding strategies and implementation steps. It also presents the need for a Friends organization to assist the City of Ithaca in fundraising for park improvements and enhancing park maintenance. View a copy at www.cayugawaterfronttrail.com.
Rick teamed with Forester and Naturalist Mark Whitmore in preparing the Finger Lakes Trail and Emerald Necklace Corridor Protection Plan. The final report was recently completed and presented to the public.
The City of Ithaca and the Ithaca Rotary Club awarded TCAT, Bergmann Associates and RMLA with a Pride of Ownership Award on December 6, 2007 for the TCAT Seneca Street Shelter and associated streetscape improvements. I have always admired this volunteer effort to acknowledge homeowners, businesses, government and non-profit agencies and their designers who have made the extra effort to design and build projects that enhance the Ithaca community, so I am particularly pleased to win this award again. I also won it a few years ago for the Cass Park Trail. For more information on the project, click here.
Lakeview Mental Health Services recently broke ground on a new 36 bed residence that will provide a long term home and services for clients who, otherwise, would have no place to live in Ithaca. The building was designed by Plan PC Architects and the site and landscape plan designed by RMLA. For more information on Lakeview click here.
