Biosphere 3:
Similar to Biosphere 2 in southern Arizona, which was partially
successful. And this time, [we’ll] get it right! At least three
benefits: useful information for mission to Mars and/or space
colonies, useful information for ecology here on Earth, and such
a good tourist draw that it’s scary!

|
Tear down the old Moran Plant. Make a simple park—incorporate
the sculpture garden. Lease space to the Sailing Center.
|
|
New Media & Community Arts Center—in collaboration with the
higher education community.
|
|
Artist Studio space. Community/Higher Education Partnership.
Artist-in-Residence. Performance/Theatre. |
|
A new
building—smaller where we could have a year round open
market—similar to the Montreal Atwater Market. Vendors would
lease areas—different ethnic foods, fabrics, Christmas trees and
turkeys. Keep it diverse! |
|
Moran ideas: 1.
Open park space. 2. Community meeting space (low cost to
Burlingtonians) 3. Adults-only restaurant (or restricted hours
for children) 4. Outdoor café with inside space open all year.
5. Reading Room with views—open year round. 6. Dismantle
building and donate bricks for homes for low-income families
(Habitat for Humanity?) (recipient to cart away the bricks) |
|
Indoor non-profit
greenhouses for year-round produce and flowers. Greengrocer
market rental. Café rental. |
|
Tear down
Moran—clear the land. Possible use—a low building, all glass on
lake side: 1. for showers, laundromat for mariners. 2. Gift
shop, more docks, coffee shop. |
|
I think the Moran
Plant should be torn down and any on-site pollution should be
cleaned up. I think after this is done a small building should
be built to house the Lake Champlain Community Sailing Center to
suit their needs. The surrounding area should be made into park
space with trees, grass and a picnic area. |

Maximum
preservation of natural beauty, creative use and economic
equality, i.e., affordable for everyone. Minimal cars. Elizabeth

Tear down this
very outdated blight on the waterfront. Open land would be
welcome plus perhaps low (all grass toward the lake) building
for a shop, café, laundromat, showers for boaters. Expand the
docking area for boats—allow all Burlington citizens to enjoy
this precious view. |
|
Keep sailing
center. Municipal pool. Waterfront video. Municipal ice skating.
Creative playground. Carousel. |
|
Lake Champlain
Maritime Museum/Community Sailing Center. Partnership including:
1. Classroom space for year round ecology and natural history
and cultural history courses with local schools. 2. Community
Boat Shop. 3. Exhibit Space. 4. Dockage for Lois McClure. 5.
Additional space for non-profits doing lake related work. 6.
More Community Boat Access and Moorings and Storage. |
|
Create a bakery
bottom floor. House homeless and at risk (top floors) who work
at and run the bakery. This creates sustainability and prepares
people to enter the workforce. |
|
Lake Champlain
Maritime Museum. Could be also a dance space, museum (and café)
combined with the LCMM. |
|
Year-round market
and sailing paddling center. |
|
New media arts
center and artist studios. Possible collaboration with . . . |
|
Tear it down.
Keep the Sailing Center and establish a winter cross-country ski
rental—instruction center. |
