3.0 PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS Application of the Big Ideas
Most of the Big Ideas relate to a specific place in the District. The focus of the Phase II: Community Workshop was to work with the community to apply the Big Ideas and understand how these ideas could translate into actual changes in the District. To help make these improvements more tangible, the Planning Team prepared a series of conceptual site plans for different areas in the District. These alternative ideas do not represent a particular specific design recommendation, but show the range of possible solutions for the community to consider. The workshop participants were given an opportunity to help develop these ideas, express their preferences as to which ideas made the most sense to them individually, and suggest new ideas that complement those under consideration. Following the Phase II: Community Workshop, the Planning Team synthesized the input from the community into a series of three illustrative boards, each containing an overall plan of the typological area within the District, a listing of improvement ideas, and a series of conceptual site plans and computer generated perspectives which illustrate the application of the ideas. The ideas are organized on each plan into the three improvement categories (Housing and Development, Mobility and Transportation, and Open Space and Green Infrastructure). The following pages outline the following for each of the three typologic type areas defined in the analysis of the District (refer to Section 2.0):
• Planning Objectives - the “big picture” strategies for each area • Project Ideas - specific projects which are recommended for each area
Example of conceptual design graphic development during the Phase II: Community Workshop.
• Conceptual Illustrations - illustrations of what the Project Ideas might look like if implemented. The illustrations simply show intent, and multiple options are included for some areas to illustrate a range of approaches that can be explored
