DISSABILITY MOBILITY HUB

This project takes place within the Bronx, NYC. Currently bike and pedestrian mobility infrastructure is being neglected in favor of car infrastructure. The goal of this project is to take this issue and try to use architecture as a guiding force to make it more worthwhile for people to use non-car mobility infrastructure. For this project, I chose a site that had several segre - gated community aspects to begin with. These communities are the nursing home residents, individuals with disabilities, school children, and local low income residents.

When analyzing this site, I noticed that the disability and nurs- ing home community was being neglected the most. This was most evident in the lack of mobility infrastructure for people with impaired mobility (such as people using wheelchairs). So, it was my goal to take the segregated communities around this site, the lack of disability infrastructure, and the neglected bike paths, and stitch it all together with a mobility infrastructure hub.
