1 DEVELOP INTERPRET RESTORE National Association of Recreation Resource Planners Conference Pittsburgh-to-Harrisburg Main Line Canal Greenway new connections between old neighbors

2 Learning Objectives By the end of the workshop, participants will: - Effectively use existing, supporting planning documents for project implementation - Identify the function and purpose of hubs and spokes concept for greenway planning - Discuss mechanisms for elevating the work of partners - Understand the logic model as a context for measuring the impact of greenway development - Exchange information about other mechanisms for outcome-based greenway development

3 Pennsylvania s State Heritage Areas

4 ARCorp stransition to Greenway Corridor Initial theme focused upon crossing the Allegheny Ridge Area broadened with new focus - recreation and economic development opportunities associated with former Main Line Canal System

5 Scenic By-ways Assessment Performed a PADOTsponsored assessment of potential scenic by-ways along the corridor Included in new management plan Scenic By-ways to be a component of corridor resource management and promotion

6 Main Line Canal Greenway Follows Historic PA Main Line Canal 320-mile corridor includes: Heritage Development Recreation Opportunities Environmental Stewardship Economic Stimulus Designated Pennsylvania s Millennium Legacy Trail

7 The Main Line Canal Greenway

8 Canal Towns Pittsburgh Chapter 1: Introduction Freeport Chapter 2: Existing Saltsburg Conditions Chapter 3: System Recommendations Chapter Blairsville 4: Implementation Program Appendices Cresson Johnstown Hollidaysburg Lewistown Huntingdon Duncannon Harrisburg

9 Canal Towns Develop Canal Town Hubs in accordance with DCNR s Hubs & Spokes Model from Statewide Greenway Plan (2001) Economic enhancement Environmental stewardship Historic sites Outdoor recreation

10 Planning Units Hubs and Spokes Hubs eleven communities within the Greenway system that serve as major destination points or gateways, centers for economic enhancement efforts focused on historic, environmental, cultural, and recreational resources. Spokes land and water trails serve as connectors between hubs and other nearby destinations such as parks, gamelands, historic sites. In their function as linear connectors, some spokes reach outside of the project corridor to connect the Greenway to tother parts of the state or region.

11 Planning Units Clusters Clusters a larger area that incorporates more than one hub into a regional planning area, often bound together by a similar topographical identity, similar stretch of river, or demographic. The approach allows for a mapping of resources with enough detail to be meaningful while showing a linear connection among these resources.

12 Planning Units Clusters

13 Model Cluster Development Initiated Model Cluster Development in Kiski-Conemaugh via Laurel Foundation support for coordinator DCNR/DCED support for coordination with emphasis on Allegheny Ridge and Juniata Clusters Hub mini-grants available Corridor-wide interpretive plan underway

14 Model Hub - Hollidaysburg Visioning Example of canal town community development Working with community s Main Street program Developed market analysis and feasibility study for NID with PDC Worked in partnership with Pennsylvania Downtown Center on model Canal Town Plan/opportunity for similar work in other hub communities with active Main Street Programs

15 Water Trails Juniata Water Trail added to Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network in 2004 signage grant awarded Worked with PEC, Fish and Boat Commission, local outfitters, and other partners to craft Upper and Lower Juniata River Water Trail maps Phase I Interpretive and Orientation/Safety signs to be installed by Spring 2007

16 Site Assessments and Recommendations Each river access site that was part of this plan was visited and assessed for its signage needs Priority I, II, and III sites were recommended

17 Prioritization I River access points with well developed river access put-ins, parking, and site services II Developed parking areas and access ramps but less use due to location or services III River access points that will probably receive low usage, difficult to find, poor parking etc. Shawmut Portstown Park Willamsburg Smithfield Riverside Park Locust Campground

18 Story development for each access point includes Interpretive theme or topics Site Objectives Interpretive Objectives Interpretive Media or Services

19 Bringing it all together through interpretation The Main Line Canal Greenway is a 320-mile long living museum that celebrates the legacies of past generations to our cultural and natural history and the importance of those contributions to our lives today

20 Kiski-Conemaugh Cluster

21 Logic Model for Measuring Program Outcomes Goal 1: Complete a system of land and water based trails. Goal 2: Identify new heritage development opportunities throughout the cluster and capitalize on community-identified sites. Goal 3: Work with regional watershed and conservation organizations to implement their primary initiatives and capitalize on existing River Management Plans. Goal 4: Build upon existing initiatives and complement those efforts being made throughout the corridor in the areas of recreational opportunities, environmental stewardship, heritage development, and economic revitalization. Goal 5: Continue partnerships with tourism promotion agencies to create a corridor-wide marketing system that encourages usage and further development. Goal 6: Establish a standard for Greenway signage and interpretation.

23 K-C Model Cluster Development Progress Established KC Cluster newsletter distributed every other month via to municipalities, community revitalization groups, historical societies, parks and trails contacts, planning and development offices, and others throughout the Greenway corridor. Pittsburgh-to-Harrisburg Main Line Canal GreenwayTM A communication for communities in the Kiski-Conemaugh Cluster One page of community news, grant announcements, events, project updates etc.; one-page K-C Cluster map to reinforce the corridor concept to recipients.

24 KC Model Cluster Development Progress - Coordinated and evaluated 2 trainings with internationally renowned heritage interpretation specialist John Veverka for DCNR staff, historical societies, and others. with a focus on creating interpetive features that are practical and outcome-oriented.
