CHASE STREET IMPROVEMENT Complete Street
Approriate curb and curb cut out
Location: Athens, GA The Chase Street corridor is located to the west of downtown Athens and intersects with the major thoroughfares of Broad St, Prince Ave, and Highway 10. Chase Street consists of heavily residential areas as well as commercial and industrial districts. The goal of the project is to look at Chase Street through a Multi Modal Level of Service (MMLOS). This means looking at the way cyclists and pedestrians experience the corridor, from issues of safety, ease of travel, and overall experience. Through the ideas proposed here, we hope to move towards a more complete Chase Street, one that serves equally users of all kinds.

Lithonia, which historically the City of Quarry is located in the Atlanta Metropolitan Area. The cemetery and quarry site is a significant part of the Bruce Street corridor. The corridor is isolated by railroads and has been neglected for long time, but it is also an important part for the City of Lithonia. The variety and diversity of Bruce Street is represented by its historic buildings, natural resources and community parks. This studio project first works on the whole street level to analyze the potentials of the Bruce Street corridor then programs into individual site level. The purpose is to revitalize Bruce Street and connect it to downtown Lithonia, the Atlanta area and Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area.

The Proposed Pedestrian Bridge is located near Peachtree Place in the Midtown Atlanta. It crosses I75/85 with the intersection of William St. and Peachtree Place on East side, and lands on Georgia Tech campus on the West side. The bridge primarily aims to serve as the connector particularly accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists to cross I75/85, considering the current difficulty of crossing. The increasing residential and commercian property development in surrounding blocks makes the bridge a potential public gathering space, as well as 5th S The proja featured spot of Atlanta. t. ect is commissioned by Atlanta Midtown Alliance.

The landscape life in the area is tough and delicate and has great educational and research values. The design aims to preserve the most significant and unique features of the area as well as enhance public engagement with the area.

Little Lotts Linear Park Ecological Restoration
Master Plan
Location: Statesboro, GA

Upper Little Lotts Creek is located in the Statesboro downtown development area. The creek runs through a vacant property and currently functions mainly to catch the runoff from parking lots and impermeable pavements of the surrounding residential areas. The creek runs alongside the proposed dog park and next to McTell Trail, which offers the potential to become a natural and recreational public space. The design aims to restore the banks using ecological design to solve the problems of invasive plants and soil erosion as well as to enhance people’s involvement with the area.

After construction is completed and vegetation is established, regular maintenance will be needed. Typically, an experienced pond or stormwater control measure maintenance company can handle the upkeep. Mowing of perennials and grasses several times a year, removing litter, and eradicating unwanted weeds and aquatic plants under the guidance of a plant expert will all be necessary. Volunteers can sometimes participate in the maintenance work, which increases community involvement.

Perspective from South to North
39
This perspective shows the views from south to north. The three bank zones are represented in the section view. All invasive species and weeds are removed from the banks, and the banks are shaped appropriately. Boulders are put at the toe area of the bank to add more aesthetic appeal. Trees (like water oaks) could be planted along the banks to provide shade to McTell Trail users. Vegetation is selected based on adaptability to water inundation, with a focus on utilizing native plants. Different layers and types of plants are grown to create a diversity of bank habitats. Docks extend into the water, giving people access to the waterfront.
