CIRCULATION & CONNECTIVITY The connectivity framework vision is centered around a new street grid that optimizes blocks for development and provides access from the FCCR Avenues Walk Station area / Park-n-Ride facility to the proposed development area. Avenues Walk Boulevard and Shops Lane form the central street of the development, and the intersection of both streets marks its entrance gate. In phase one, a connection between the Avenues Walk Station area / Park-n-Ride facility will be established by the enhancement of Avenue Boulevard with pedestrian and micro-mobility amenities, as well as traffic calming elements, to provide inviting and safe access to commuter rail and Park-n-Ride users. In phase two, Shops Lane will be extended to Mussels Acre Road and an additional perpendicular street will provide access to the new mixed-used residential buildings. Beginning in phase one, and completed in phase two, a multi- use trail along Shops Lane will be created to optimize pedestrian and bicycle connectivity between Avenues Walk Station and the new development.
OPEN SPACE & PUBLIC REALM The open spaces in Avenues Walk provide the
LAND USE The existing land uses within a half-mile radius of the proposed station area highlight the Avenues Walk Station’s potential to become a regional employment center. As such, the land use framework introduces building typologies that support various types of employment programs alongside an increased residential density. The framework introduces retail along the connection between the FCCR Station / Park-n-Ride facility and the development core to create active streets not only through their design but also through land uses that catalyze foot traffic. The multi- phased development plan includes approximately 250,000 square feet of Class A Office space within
two 4-5 story buildings, 150-300 rooms hotel with a 40,000 square feet conference center, and structured parking in Phase 1. This phase also includes a Mixed- use Multifamily Residential building with structured parking shared with office use. Phase 2 is envisioned to include 40,000 square feet of flex office space within a 2-3 story building, restaurants, expanded retail, and a Mixed-use Multifamily Residential building with a shared parking structure (Phase 2a). In this phase (Phase 2b) the development will also add approximately 300,000 square feet of Class A Office space within two, 3-7 story buildings as well as a 500-space parking structure.
community with various types of spaces to address the needs of all future users. Many of the open spaces overlap with the connectivity framework as a result of the proposed Complete Streets design vision to create streets where people would enjoy lingering. The multi- use trail, for example, doubles as a connection and a recreation amenity. Additional types of open spaces are medium scale parks which utilize the exiting retention ponds to create open spaces and recreation amenities to be used by residents. Smaller scale open spaces, such as the plaza, and pedestrian-only street proposed in phase two, are intendant to function as active civic spaces, with dining, shopping, and spaces for temporary events. These spaces will benefit from the increased density introduced in phase two, and anchor the development as a whole, by not only providing necessary services, but also spaces for social interaction.
