ONN – Oakland Broadway: Main Street Of The Future And Regional Hub – By Morten Jensen
Note: Morten Jensen is President of JRDV Urban International, Oakland, who writes.
Broadway in downtown Oakland has the potential to become “America’s Main Street of the Future.” This could be achieved by creating:
1. A regionally and locally serving intermodal transportation spine leveraging its position as a DUAL CORE with downtown San Francisco (in conjunction with Diridon/San Jose).
2. A merchandising plan delivered with a master lease program to reduce or eliminate retail leakage.
3. A world-class streetscape plan with active edges to create an intimate and engaging pedestrian experience.
4. A more fair and equitable Bay Area harnessing unique cultural, geographic and economic assets to benefit the most people in region (many of whom suffer despite great wealth).
Stay tuned.
Note from Zennie62Media and Oakland News Now: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. Now, news is reported with a smartphone: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
