SUMMER IN THE CITY
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty
Been down, isn't it a pity?
Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city
All around, people looking half dead
Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head

JANE'S WALK
WHAT IS THE
GROVE BECOMING?
PlusUrbia’s
Maria Bendfeldt led a portion of Jane’s Walk in Coconut Grove, a walk
honoring the memory of urbanist Jane Jacobs, on Saturday May 5.
The event was part
of a global walking event known as Jane’s Walk, in honor of Jane Jacobs,
the author of The Death and Life of American Cities and a pillar of
the walkable cities movement.
The walk was
led by Coconut Grove resident Hank Sanchez-Resnik, the founder and
president of Bike Coconut Grove, the sponsor of the walk.
The Jane’s
Walk explored the commercial heart of Coconut Grove and the numerous major
developments under way.
There were stops
at several key locations where new buildings are being built, older buildings
are being remodeled, and a new vision of Center Grove is emerging.
Along the
way, the walking group talked with planners and developers who are behind the
changes.
The walk ended
at St. Stephens Church with a presentation of the master plan for the Grove’s
commercial center developed by the Coconut Grove Business Improvement District.
