Abstract: Landing Lights Island is a 3D wiki that allows you to design and save the park that you'd like to see built in Queens, NY. In true wiki fashion, you will also be able to call up and edit other people's models of the park. The design project will interface with a democracy project that will select and promote a winning design, with a prospect that the design will actually get built!

Status Report: See the Other Landing Lights Pages below to review the project's status. Keep in mind that it's a wiki, so kick in your 2 bits. The Project Contact tries to maintains the Landing Lights Wiki in an orderly fashion. Contributions are sometimes moved, never deleted.
