DESIGN STRATEGIES

Take down building to make a park connecting rest area.

Turn construction lot into a green area after construction is complete.

Paint sidewalks to connect green areas.

Improve street conditions and add drains for rain water.

CIRCULATION STRATEGIES• Turn construction lot into a green area after construction is

complete.• Paint sidewalks to connect green areas.

CLIMATE STRATEGIES

• Increase sunlight in shaded areas.

• Increase shade in open sunny areas.

• To increase shade add trees in pots where needed.

OUR NEXT STEP

• Find map without Manhattan bridge to show street level.

• Try and find new ways to get to waterfront.

• Walk different routes to waterfront to take more pictures.

• Fix circulation slide.
