Sidewalk cutout to nowhere

Discovered in Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey. ... Suffice to say, there's one on the other side, as well.

Springtime in the Rockies

Posted 2009-06-05 at 12:56 PM by otterpop (Planning in the American West)
It has been a while since I last posted my blog.

It must be Spring in Montana because the dandelions are growing like nobody's business in my yard, much to the chagrin of myself and the annoyance of my neighbors. Dandelions are amazing plants, really. Cut them down and a day later they are ready with new seeds to spread. No wonder they are everywhere.

My son turns eight tomorrow. I look at him and I see the little guy he used to be. I wish he could have stayed four...

OK -- this time I'd like to know what you think -- Comments, Please...

Is the planning profession interested in the Stimulus Funds, and I think, more importantly, will we as a profession work to create ethical, sustainable projects for that funding, rather than race to get something submitted in a political grab for the cash?

The NTIA only has 24 months to spend $4.7 Billion...I'm wondering if well thought projects that have long term impact are going to come from something that moves that fast?

And Lastly...Is the planning profession...

What will we do with the money?

Posted 2009-03-23 at 05:34 PM by AnvilPartners (Anvil Partners, LLC -- The Wireless Forge)
Now that the NTIA stimulus money is approved, and ex parte meetings are being held to organize the administration and deployment of the grants, it's time for localities to begin thinking about the kind of projects they want to propose -- and there's a key issue here I'd like to address. Rather than having a run on the grant funds, in a raid-like fashion, can we develop project proposals that are ethical and sustainable in the long run, after the grant funds go away?

The NTIA funding...

Hey -- I actually got published...

Posted 2009-03-23 at 05:19 PM by AnvilPartners (Anvil Partners, LLC -- The Wireless Forge)
The ICMA's PM magazine picked up a story I wrote on what to expect from the wireless infrastructure industry over the next few years. There's some interesting thoughts that, given the NTIA stimulus funding, will even more likely materialize to impact rural and underserved communities. There's money out there to create positive impacts, but it's going to take work to create ethical and sustainable projects.
