Hey Everyone,
Quick update, we've got 73 signatures so far and we just started this movement a few days ago! 27 more and we'll blow by 100! That means that if less than half of everyone reading this right now was able to convince just 1 person to sign the petition, we'd fly past 100 without even looking back! WE can do this. Keeping sharing, keep talking, keep up the pressure and support.
I was enjoying North Shore the other day and was struck by the pier, spa beach, and the things that I was looking at across the water. The possibilities, the excitement of picturing that space as an ecologically sustainable public green space. I was taken aback by it and so I released a video born of spontaneity basically giving a run down of why Blue Pier is so important. It was viewed 341 times (at last check)! http://goo.gl/KZRrpD
Take a look and enjoy...
In the end, this is about engaging our city to invest in public space. This is about not having our public funds squandered on a structure in the hopes that it will serve some phantom iconic status. This is about understanding the expertise of modern urban design that illustrates the very thing we hold dear: An emphasis on building activated, public, green space as not only a community builder, as not only a definition of our city as an active, exciting town to visit and live in, but also as a legitimate economic driver.
We're on the right side of this. Let's nail the 100 hundred signature mark and if you haven't already, read the comments that your peers have left on this petition. They're humbling and hopeful.
Thanks,
Ryan
