Recreational Revolution
The human-powered recreational boating scene is growing. How to design for public access and how to accommodate recreational growth. Never before have our waterways been enjoyed by so many. Never before has such a large constituency for the waterfront come together. What stands in the way of further growth? How do we encourage the best in waterfront designs that are essential to waterfront access, waterfront parks, natural resources protection, and recreational blue trails around the region? A look at past planning and organizing decisions to create a common understanding of what waterfront and public access planning works in the harbor and what doesn’t.
