Look at the Pretty Pictures

Well, if I'm going to look into the more presentational aspects of urban design, I'd better do a quick recap of InDesign and Photoshop, to get me up to the same speed as AutoCAD and Office. Its been a little while since I worked on vector graphics, InDesisn or CorelDraw etc, it's time to make sure I know it.

New Jersey and Bi-State Area

Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) canceled the proposed and long awaited Access to the Region's Core (ARC) tunnel project beneath the Hudson River, between New Jersey and Manhattan.

The Regional Planning Association (RPA) voiced the opinion of the the supporters of the project.

Governor Chris Christie today announced he would cancel the Access to the Region’s Core tunnel project – the largest public transit project underway in the nation – citing potential cost overrun concerns. The decision casts a dark shadow over the economic future of New Jersey. The State will lose out on an astonishing $6 billion matching contributions from the federal government and Port Authority. The tunnel would have opened New Jerseyans’ access to Manhattan’s lucrative job market, raised tax revenues for the state and local governments, boosted property values, provided a more reliable and faster commute to hundreds of thousands of NJ TRANSIT commuters and drivers, and saved on greenhouse gas emissions.
