DESCRIPTION AND/OR LINK
The project included understanding and communicating the local watershed and neighborhood context, and then characterizing the various typical street conditions. UW landscape architecture and planning students developed prototypical proposals for treatment of the street and parking strips, addressing: - pedestrian and bicycle transportation, - rainwater harvest, stormwater detention and treatment, - urban forestry, - community art, markers and gathering spaces, and - habitat features and ecologies.
The project explored models for residential, business, and civic land uses, merging ideas in a master plan for the whole of the street.
