~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear Fellow Annapolitan,
The second enVISIONing Annapolis conversation will be held on Tuesday, October 23. I hope you will join me for Pressures, Progress, and Choice: Development and Quality of Life in Annapolis. Read more below.
The goal of enVISIONing Annapolis is to empower Annapolitans and concerned citizens of the region to take an informed, creative and proactive role in defining a future for their historic city – a future that preserves the best of the past while enhancing the quality of life for later generations.
The range of events associated with Annapolis Alive! continues to grow. Stay up to date on our website and by listening to our radio show every Tuesday at 2 p.m. on 1430 WNAV.
Sincerely,
Chuck Weikel

enVISIONing Annapolis - a look to the future
Pressures, Progress, and Choice: Development and Quality of Life in Annapolis
Tuesday, October 23, NEW VENUE: Maryland Hall for the Creative Arts, 801 Chase Street, Annapolis, 7 p.m.
Cities that grow by suburban sprawl strangle on traffic congestion and air pollution, eroding the quality of life that should be a major asset of cities. John Frece, Associate Director of the National Center for Smart Growth, University of Maryland, looks at population and density projections in the greater Annapolis area in his talk entitled “Relevant Lessons and Insights from the Reality Check Process.” William Morrish, the Elwood R. Quesada Professor of Architecture, University of Virginia, explores how great urban design can contribute to livable cities in his talk, “Metropolitan Design and why it is so critical for 21st Century Realities.” All “Conversations” are free and open to the public. This series of public Conversations is sponsored by the Envisioning Annapolis Foundation, St. John’s College, and Annapolis Charter 300. For more information and links to the Envisioning Annapolis Foundation, see our website.
300 Tapestry Project
An Annapolis Alive! Signature event, the 300 Tapestry Project will create three large tapestries and several smaller pieces depicting 300 years of Annapolis’ development. They will be displayed throughout the city. The project is community based and all are welcome to stitch under the guidance of a skilled needlepoint craftsperson. Read more on our website.
