Project Description:
Our proposal offered a redefined pedestrian experience on East Street that is informed by the unique geography, context, and existing conditions of the corridor. As the main access point through the neighborhood between downtown and Garfield Park, a re-envisaged East Street is an integral link helping increase neighborhood health, mobility, and connectedness. Our three-option proposal offers an efficient and cost-effective strategy to give Bates-Hendricks the neighborhood corridor it deserves.
Our final proposal called for a one mile design intervention involving various tiers of multi-modal infrastructure catering to specific segments of the East Street corridor. Low-cost parking stop-separated multi-modal lanes lead to a renewed business district at Lincoln and East which involves a widened pedestrian thoroughfare accommodating strollers, bicyclists, and shoppers. A series of speed humps and tactical paint help to calm traffic while ensuring safety for all users of the street.
