Weinland ParkCommunity Design Studio:Designing for People & Place

“Our habitation must enable us to know and work with our neighbors. It must be salient enough to endure. It must impel us by its beauty to fill our hearts with gladness. All three are essential. Without the others, any one is worthless.”

-- Hester, R. T. (2006). Design for Ecological Democracy: 419

ThemesOpen Space The quality and performance of public spaces are integral to a neighborhood’s quality of life and overall health. Access To Fresh Food “We can build our kids the best schools on earth, but if they don’t have basic nutrition they need to concentrate, they’re still going to have a challenge learning.” Michelle Obama Accessibility and SafetyUnderstanding transportation and mobility in Weinland Park is crucial to the neighborhood improvement process as it not only relates to issues of health and safety, but reveals accessibility barriers which restrict resident’s access to food, work, health care, school and social engagement. Green InfrastructureHigh quality green networks and spaces provide many social, economic and environmental benefits to the community

Access to Fresh Food• On-site inventory of food locations in and around

neighborhood via bicycle and walking• Photograph locations and surrounding context • Interview residents and store owners about local food choices

and condition of neighborhood establishments

• Greatest percentage of food choices are in local convenience stores, which do not offer many affordable, healthy items

• Closest grocery stores are Kroger and Aldi, which are significantly farther than corner stores

• Maps pinpointing locations of stores and distances for residents to travel for fresh food options

Green InfrastructureCRITERIA• Current state of stormwater, soil types, sur face

conditions, and energy resources in Weinland Park • Define oppor tunities for inter vention to bridge gap

between social and ecological networks • Why is green infrastructure impor tant for Weinland

Park?

17

Green InfrastructurePHASE I: INVENTORY

• Stormwater and impermeable surface condition study• USDA soil survey data paired with development vs. green

space coverage in neighborhood • Energy usage and hard surface area within developed

corridors

• Weinland Park consists of about 70% impermeable surfaces resulting in high surface runoff and water loss on site (annual loss 146,400,00 gallons)

• Existing soil complexes are predominantly poorly drained, resulting in high potential for revitalized green spaces

• 140 acres of hard surfaces, creating an energy use conversion to decrease long term costs for residents (e.g. solar panels)

Green InfrastructurePHASE II: ANALYSIS Green streets program Por tland, Oregon

• Smart community growth model paired with green infastructure techniques (e.g. rain water storage basins in built environment and water collection mechanisms long street corridors)

• Improve quality and usage of on-site resources (e.g. cleaner water, healthier soils, and sunlight)

• Potential for reclaiming green spaces as green corridors to improve pedestrian mobility and ecological identity within neighborhood

• Precedence for affordable energy efficient homes and job creation for new “green” developments
