Pruned: Uncapped Streets

(Two really quick notes: firstly, landscape architect Adrienne Cortez's proposal for an alternative to uncapping fire hydrants, one which preserves the positive aspects of that quintessential urban summer pastime but without sacrificing water resources, is very fine, so go see; and secondly, my del.icio.us bookmarks — recent entries include the above proposal, the global soil survey project and future Plum Islands — now get collated daily and then spliced with the blog's RSS feed. Postnote: will try to avoid such redundancies in the future.)

Reminds me of the fountain on the Christian Science Plaza in Boston though this design can be replicated in smaller spaces. What a great boon to city streets!
