Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:36:33 +0000 http://www.americantrails.org/blog/?p=561#comment-96 I had the honor of working as a consulting engineer for Joe Shoemaker and the Platte River Development Committee (which he founded and led) on trail extensions north and south of Confluence Park in Denver. With Joe’s untiring efforts to push for, and complete, the Confluence Park project in 1975, national attention was gained and public support grew for what has become one of the largest greenway trail networks in the country. He was indeed a visionary, who recognized the multiple benefits of greenways for not only park, trail and water-based recreation, but also water quality and riparian habitat enhancement, improved quality of life, and economic development.

There is no doubt that the outdoor recreation opportunities have inspired many of us in the field today and will continue inspiring future generations for years to come! Awesome work Joe! Thank you!

Any thoughts or direction is appreciated.

Thanks for the info, As we are all evolving into mindful, the recession is a likely catalyst for even more telecommuting and a lot less use of business office house. The stage is not just that technologies is the enabler of a telecommuting trend, but also that it oftentimes requires a catalyst to deliver on the total penalties of an impending trend. In the previous couple of times, several round the environment woke up to headlines about the likelihood of a Swine Flu Pandemic, and we uncovered ourselves with but a further doable catalyst. With the fearfulness, be it an overreaction or not, of a extensive pandemic looming, the thought of planning into an workplace with a variety of hundred or even hundreds of folk does not seem to be enormously interesting, let alone taking public transportation to get there. 1 would guess that everyone with telecommuting abilities could have picked to stay home inside the final very few times.
Nice One!
