An urban planning project to reconstruct the street at 5 Points, Buffalo.
The street condition is not that good for pedestrain and this cross usually used by residents to gathering.
City driving map shows a 2-mile area centered on 5 Points, highlighting the geographical location and importance of 5 Points within the city.
Radius: 2 Miles
The 5 mins walk map highlights the roads, shops, communities, and restaurants within a 1/4 mile radius of 5 Points, and is marked in different colors.
Radius: 1/4 Miles
ORIGINAL CONDITION
Wide car lane, too much space for street parking, not pedestrain friendly
DESIGN PROPOSAL
Use table ramp to lift up the corner, redesign width of car lane, bike lane and side walk, reconstruct the gas station to a public space
The use of the brick material make it easier for residents to access to the park, and make the corner more friendly to pedestrain.
This park created more for people, the stones create shape like maze to encourage people to create story in it.
Green buffer is used to saperate the car lane and bike lane near to the park.
The plants in the park initially planted using younger trees, and those trees that grow better will be kept.
