When we wrote a robust set of design guidelines for Spokane's skywalks, we faced many of the same biases. A number of critics (including an association of business owners) thought that skywalks merely robbed pedestrian vitality from the streetscape. I posited another theory, that it was the internalization of retail at the second level of block interiors that was the sole reason for street-level retail vacancies - and that pedestrian bridges merely doubled the pedestrian network. By obscuring the street-level access points and by allowing skywalks' aesthetic appeal to be reduced to glazed "hamster tubes", the city had served to facilitate a separate economy between internal & external retail. The property owners who fund skywalks are merely seeking to increase their pedestrian-to-retail linear footage ratio within their limited holdings, hardly a justification to reduce street facing retail lease space. Rather, in exchange for allowing private development over publicly owned right-of-way the city failed to provide proper guidance and development requirements. Street level access, pedestrian orientation, wayfinder signage, engaging aesthetics (including artistic lighting), are all now development requirements for Spokane skywalks.

This community college in Southern California had a gravel roof that leaked in multiple places. Finding leaks in gravel roofs is like finding a needle in a haystack. Still, WeatherWeld eliminated that problem by seamlessly encapsulating the roof, creating one seamless piece over the existing gravel roof. Now this community college has a leak-free roof for the life of the building. You can eliminate your roof leaks too.

Did you know that US 1 which runs right through #DowntownDelray ends in Fort Kent, Maine? The story of US 1 begins in 1925 with creation of the US numbered highway system. Main east-west roads were given even numbers and the major north-south highways were assigned odd numbers. That's how the Atlantic Coast Highway running from Fort Kent, Maine to Miami, Florida became US 1. In 1939, Florida extended US 1 to Key West, stretching 2,446 miles. In the mid-1970s, the state DOT widened US 1 to three lanes. But that caused cars to come speeding through Downtown Delray Beach. Our city's walkability was being greatly impacted. In the early 2000s, city leaders along with the DDA and CRA lobbied to return the road back to 2 lanes in each direction through Downtown Delray. US 1 went through an extensive $14 million construction project to reduce the lanes, add sidewalk space, bike lanes and make it more pedestrian-friendly through our town. Delray is one of the most walkable downtowns in all of South Florida, with our main street going all the way to the beach and the changes to US 1 are another reason we are the #VillageByTheSea! #LoveDelray
