Happening on Friday

Many are concerned about the designs proposed by Arterial for the Hudson Connects project, which is meant to introduce Complete Streets principles in the area of the city below Second Street known, for DRI (Downtown Revitalization Initiative) purposes, as "the BRIDGE District." The criticism is that what's proposed seems to introduce a suburban or shopping mall aesthetic rather than respecting the city's historic character. 

At the Hudson Connects Public Workshop that happened on July 27, Phil Forman and John Schobel, chair and vice chair respectively of the Historic Preservation Commission, invited Arterial to present their plans to the HPC for review and comment. David Lustberg and James Ribaudo of Arterial accepted the invitation. 

Gossips has learned that Lustberg and Ribaudo are going to be at the HPC meeting this Friday, August 13. The meeting takes place at 10:00 a.m. at City Hall. It can be accessed on Zoom by clicking here.

  1. A lot of important meeetings this hot week. I agree with Phil Forman and John Schobel. The designs look sooo suburban, I worried about Promenade Hill too, and as for the projects on 7th & State street, good Lord we'll be turning into a mini Bronx. Thank goodness for the HPC
