IPA 2020 Fall Residency – To Be or Not To BQE: A Post-Moses Community Vision

The final panel discussion of the IPA 2020 Fall Residency will be held on November 18th from 6-8PM with IPA Fellows and guest panelists including Harriett Harris, Dean, Pratt Institute; Moses Gates, RPA; Susannah Drake, dlandstudio; Danny Harris, Transportation Alternatives; Nina Rappaport, Vertical Urban Factory; Mark Gardner, Architect; Michael King, Traffic Calmer; and Fred Harris, Mission Title Agency. This is the last of four public panels for the IPA Fall Residency. This Fall, the IPA challenges Fellows to research and envision what might replace the BQE along a portion of this anachronistic piece of Moses infrastructure, engaging community stakeholders through which their chosen BQE portion passes.

Fourteen Fellows in five teams are working on proposals related to improving transportation, neighborhood access to public space, affordable housing and the effects of development on communities.
