travel, hotel and booking Information

Hotel Booking The Delaware River and the city's downtown have had little to do with each other since being separated decades ago by a jumble of state parking lots, the multiple lanes of Route 29 and its on and off ramps - a series of projects from the 1950s and 1960s now derided by many.

Although travel agents have access to all of the same outlets you would use when looking to book travel, they also have access to exclusive pricing and package deals that are most times not available to the public. Your travel agent also has more leverage in helping out in situations such as hotels claiming to be booked, when in fact they may still have rooms available that are on hold for travel agents reservations. So when everyone else is telling you “No” your travel agent can help turn that to a “Yes.”

Travel Agency Like many cities, Trenton was cut off from its potentially valuable riverfront. And like an increasing number of those cities, it is looking to reclaim some of the land it lost.

Travel Agent Along with improving access to the river, proponents of the plan say it would aid efforts by the city to develop high-end housing on the vast surface parking lots between Route 29 and state office buildings.

Hotel Chicago "It would speed development along the river - in a good way," said Dennis Gonzalez, city director of housing and urban development.

Online Booking Altering Route 29 would free up about 29 acres either along the river or along the eastern side of the redone road, proponents of the change said. The land could be used for biking, walking or other uses, they said.

Travel Health Insurance The idea has been around since at least 1988 but has been revived this year.

Hotel Reservation Among its supporters are Mayor Douglas H. Palmer, the state Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Capital City Redevelopment Corp. (CCRC), a special state agency charged with reviving the neighborhood around the State House.

London Hotel Booking However, many details, including how the project would be funded, would have to be established before it could be realized.-- -- -- The CCRC in May received new drawings for the project, and meetings between that agency, the city and the DOT are continuing, said Ingrid Reed, who heads the CCRC board.

Discount Travel She estimated altering Route 29 would cost $25 million and extending city streets to Route 29 would be an additional expense. Reed cautioned that her estimates were preliminary and the numbers could change.

Orlando Hotel "The DOT feels it's a wonderful idea - something we want very much to work with the CCRC and city itself on," said Micah Rasmussen, a DOT spokesman. "We support it and are anxious to work with everyone involved. We need to have an honest discussion of what the cost will be and make sure everyone is honest about what their needs will be and how we will get there."

Booking Agency Palmer said the Route 29 change would dramatically benefit the city.

International Travel Medical "It makes it more pedestrian friendly when people would be able to really walk from their home or office to the river and enjoy the river."

New York Hotel Walking to the river from downtown is basically impossible now, Reed said.

Online Travel Booking It was not always that way. A half-century ago, there was no highway between the river and the State House.

Travel Medical Insurance As in many cities, a highway was run along the river to make it easier to get into the city by car. Such projects were common in the mid-20th century but are now viewed as misguided by many urban planners.

Miami Hotel "We made a big mistake in the U.S." said C. Douglas Coolman of the Edward D. Stone Jr. Associates firm from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., which is working to make that city's waterfront more pedestrian friendly. "We had all this money and built for the automobile first."

Air Deccan Booking It took years for people to realize that waterfronts were a major asset and roads should be placed elsewhere, Coolman said.

Las Vegas Nevada Travel He said there is an international movement among urban planners to reclaim waterfronts. He is a member of the board of advisers of the Waterfront Center, an advocacy group for that cause. Other board members hail from Canada, Japan, Australia, and states from California to Massachusetts.

Las Vegas Nv Hotel -- -- -- Portland, Ore., is considered a trailblazer in reclaiming its waterfront. In the 1970s it removed Harbor Drive from alongside the Willamette River to install Tom McCall Waterfront Park, named for the governor who is said to have suggested the project.

Hotel Florence Booking Online "To say it's popular is an understatement," said David Yamashita, senior planner for Portland's parks and recreation department. "It's become the site for many of our citywide large events. . . . We refer to it as the front yard for the city."

Orlando Travel In Milwaukee, a project to remove the Park East Freeway spur and free 26 acres for development are under way, according to that city's Web site.

Hilton Hotel In San Francisco, the elevated Embarcadero Freeway, heavily damaged in a 1989 earthquake, was never replaced. A boulevard was installed along that city's piers.

Booking Delta Com Richard J. Hughes, namesake of the justice complex, was New Jersey's governor when the portion of Route 29 under discussion was built. His son, Brian Hughes, a Mercer County freeholder, says it was a mistake.

Travel Insurance Online "He had some bad ideas," Brian Hughes said of his father. "It was all about progress and jobs back then. Now people realize they can have smart growth. They can have an appreciation for nature and jobs, that's what rebuilding the city is all about."

London Hotel Brian Hughes added, "I think if you take a look at all of the cities along the East Coast that have really been able to come back from some of their post-industrial decline, like Baltimore, like Wilmington to a degree, they all have been able to reconnect with the river."

Online Hotel Booking Palmer said, "Back in the '60s, one of the things was building roads to take people out of cities, and that was the focus. Hindsight is 20-20, but it was a mistake."

Travel Insurance Scaling back Route 29 would differ dramatically from the approach the DOT took not long ago when it spent $105 million to extend that very highway through South Trenton. That project ended in March.

Paris Hotel Critics said it, once again, cut off a portion of the city from the river.
