The document discusses a proposed public utility corridor through Lick Creek Park to allow Municipal Utility District #1 to install a wastewater line. Key details include:
1) MUD-1 agreements from May 2016 need modifications to account for developments like a defined fire station location and wastewater impact fees.
2) Approval is needed to divert park land for the utility corridor, as the only feasible route for the wastewater line is through Lick Creek Park.
3) The proposed corridor would be 30 feet wide permanently and 20 feet wide temporarily for construction. The developer would minimize cutting and re-seed the corridor, while the city would create a new trail in the park.

Sabarmati Riverfront:
An urban regeneration and environment improvement initiative
Transforming river from a geographical divider to a focal point for leisure and recreation
Recognized in the list of ‘100 Most Innovative Projects’
The Lower Lackawanna Watershed near Scranton, PA, is polluted by the largest abandoned mine drain (AMD) in the eastern US. The Old Forge Borehole spews 100 cubic feet per second of iron laden water into the Lackawanna River decimating the aquatic habitat and fish populations for miles downstream and into the Susquehanna River. This assessment was completed in 2012 and the plan recommends cleaning up this discharged and a related discharge, the Duryea Breach, in order to remove approximately 5 tons of iron per day using an active treatment plant. The plant could also have many other beneficial effects besides producing clean water, like hydroelectric power, geothermal heating, iron oxide resource recovery. With these added benefits, the initial ~$15 million investment in a plant could be paid off over and over again.
From The Municipal Art Society of New York, advocating for smart urban design, planning, and preservation through education and initiatives.
This report is a synthesis of the ideas generated from a day-long design charrette in June 2011, and represents the community’s vision for a new waterfront open space. MAS released the report to the NYC Economic Development Corporation (EDC) and their consultant for the project, AECOM, with the intention of guiding the future transformation of the former Con Ed Pier into a new community park.
This is the turning point for waterfront access along the East Side of Midtown and is a continuation of MAS’ long standing commitment to bringing New Yorkers back to the waterfront and ensuring that the communities have a voice in shaping their future.

Fairgrounds Roadway Widening Public Meeting (Sept. 23, 2014)City of Midland
The proposed project is needed to address increasing traffic volumes due to increased regional commercial and residential development as a result of energy sector growth.
The purpose of the project is to improve capacity of the roadway by providing additional through lanes as well as auxiliary lanes for turning movements. The additional capacity of the proposed arterial will facilitate the mixed use traffic, including those containing hazardous materials, and will be consistent with the City of Midland Master Thoroughfare Plan.

The plan is to return the form and function of the channel to dynamic equilibrium and improve the ecological processes of the riparian corridor within the constraints of the developed landscape.
Fairgrounds Roadway Widening Public Hearing (March 17, 2015)City of Midland
The purpose of this hearing was to present the planned improvements to Fairgrounds Road from State Loop (SL) 250 to Pecan Avenue in the City of Midland, Midland County, Texas, and to receive public comment. Displays will be available for viewing at 6:00 p.m. with the formal hearing commencing at 7:00 p.m.
The existing facility consists of one 12-foot travel lane in each direction with no shoulders. The existing right-of-way (ROW) width varies from approximately 62 feet south of Wadley Avenue to 77 feet historically used for the roadway north of Wadley Avenue.
The proposed project would widen Fairgrounds Road from two lanes to five lanes. South of Wadley Avenue, Fairgrounds Road would consist of one 11-foot lane and one 14-foot shared use lane in each direction and an 11-foot continuous center left-turn lane. There would be five-foot wide sidewalks on each side of the roadway. North of Wadley Avenue, Fairgrounds Road would consist of two 12-foot lanes in each direction with a 12-foot continuous center left-turn lane. An eight-foot bike/pedestrian trail would be constructed on the west side of the roadway. The length of the proposed project is approximately 1.5 miles. The proposed typical ROW width would vary from approximately 80 feet south of Wadley Avenue to approximately 129.5 feet north of Wadley Avenue. The proposed improvements would require approximately 11.4 acres of additional ROW, of which, 10.9 acres are already owned by the City of Midland. The proposed project would not result in any residential relocations or commercial displacements. Information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition and construction may be obtained from the City of Midland.
As part of this project, the City of Midland is considering a Section 4(f) de minimis impact determination for impacts to F.T. Hogan Park (Hogan Park). An approximate 10.9 acre strip of land generally located east of Hogan Park Golf Course from Wadley Avenue to Loop 250 would be required for permanent incorporation into the proposed transportation facility. A Section 4(f) de minimis finding means that the proposed project would not adversely affect the activities, features, or attributes that qualify Hogan Park for protection under Section 4(f). The City of Midland and TxDOT will consider comments received during this Public Hearing before making a final Section 4(f) de minimis determination.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
