Trenton, NJ

Completed segment of unreleased documentary about Context Sensitive Design (design of roads & bridges that enhance, rather than fragment and destabilize communities). This segment concerns a highway that separates the city from its waterfront on the Delaware River, and the plan to improve NJ's capital city by transforming the highway into a pedestrian friendly waterfront boulevard. The other CSD projects featured in this documentary-- Stillwater, NJ; West Palm Beach, FL; and Littleton, NH, had been completed prior to filming. This project was only an ambitious plan at the time of filming. And like many other meaningful investments that would improve the quality of life for the people who live-- as opposed to those who work, or govern-- in New Jersey's capital city, it was abandoned.
