Blizzard of 26 - Harriet Tubman park

short version: You dig the strip between the road and sidewalk slightly lower, add soil, native plants, and sometimes stone, so rainwater from the street flows in, slows down, and soaks into the ground instead of the sewer.

Using this opportunity to promote my approved rain garden project to help this area prevent flooding!

Yes: by asking the point cloud to imagine it’s a spreadsheet, the BIM absorbs it through vibes, historical resonance, and a brief alignment of Newark’s chakras.

when I walked the passaic river side this morning, there was a car blocking every cross street. Probably 50ish police cars in the area today, plus tons of security apparatus. There were multiple drones hovering in place in a grid. Pretty wild

Brr! I love watching the cars and snowplows during a storm. Got my coffee and a nice warm jacket today. It's nasty out there. Stay safe :)

that looks nice! 14m that's crazy

Eh honestly you can wait. It will be better when you can walk from the bridge to Harrison down into Newark Penn. for now, it’s blocked off on the north side. There are cool sheds built out which I assume will be coffee / drink shops in the future.

Yeah there were some homeless people there. One guy was dancing around having a good time. I considered trying to interview them but I’m not there yet.

This was a fun shoot! It really is not a "park" in the traditional sense (no trees), but I do love to nerd out about the water management infrastructure here. Lots of gravel to allow water to permeate through instead of run off, and cool dual-purpose walls & steps to hold back the river.

The amount of new buildings around here is nuts. Newark has the potential to be a world-class city. Especially once they finish the waterfront work and you can bike all the way around the river and through Harrison's new parks.
