Pedestrian Shed

In the previous report I focused on Cecil Elementary School, lo-cated on Cecil Avenue. My pedestrian shed is everything with-in a 5 minute walking distance (1/4 mile radius)..

In this report I will be developing proposals for streets, sidewalks, and intersections within my pe-destrian shed.

I will propose the best strategies for safety and comfort for the residents and proposing creative placemaking oppurtunities in the area.

Location: E. 22nd Street and Kirk Ave

Street Type: Industrial Acces and Urban Village Neighborhood

Kirk Ave and E. 22nd Street is in need of major im-provement. Weeds are unkept and sidewalks are uneven. New sidewalks being added will help the area and annual manteniance of plants will be necessary. Kirk Ave also has public transit running through, bus shelters would be a great addition to the area to keep transit riders comfortable and safe. More street lights will also aid in the safety of the residents. A recreation center is cornered at this in-tersection, so lastly I proposed for a creative place-making along the crosswalk for the children in the area.

Location: Aisquith Street and Curtain Avenue

Street Type: Industrial Access

High Traffic street in need of a cross walk for pedestrian safety. Also there is an empty lot which can be used for creative place-making. Parking can be added along the empty lot for potential parking spaces for a park which could be added to the empty lot. The streets will also be lined with street trees and Maryland native plants for a rain garden along the streets.

Location: E. 20th St. and Cecil Ave

Street Type: Urban Village Neighborhood

Cecil Avenue is intersected by a one way street ( E. 20th Street). The residential street will be enhanced for the residents by adding new street lamps and street trees along the sidewalk. Their is also a great amout of liter on the streets and inside drainage . Trash cans and storm water infrastructure will be placed also. For E. 20th Street a curb extension will be added with bollards, this will also create an oppurtunity for creative placemaking on the curb extension
