Team Members: Kevin Perry (Urban Rain Design) Katherine Cholakis (Nitsch Eng.) Stacy Levy (Artist) Raymond Papa (Designer) Location: Washington D.C. Project Description: DC Water, a government agency that distributes and treats water for the residence in the District Columbia opened a design competition focused on innovative and aesthetic ways of treating stormwater. Teams from across the United States and abroad submitted creative design solutions focused on a small strip of Kennedy Street in DC. Our team placed as one of two finalists in the competition. Ideas were taken from both finalists and have been implemented as part of a new complete street concept along Kennedy Street. Our design focused on improving pedestrian, bike, and transit experience while highlighting best stromwater management practices. From the pedestrian standpoint, the use of curb extensions at the intersections reduced the overall crossing distance of Kennedy Street and improves t he visibility between drivers and pedestrians. Narrowing the street at the mid-block stormwater curb extensions helped slow down traffic befitting those walking and biking.

of the country, each member communicated via email & conference call. Although, a physical communication barrier took place, the group came together successfully to produce a award winning design. Based on an average annual rainfall depth of 41-inches, this segment of Kennedy Street discharges approximately 580,000 gallons of stormwater to the combined sewer system annually.

Our design concept for Kennedy Street goes beyond the management of stormwater by providing a direct focus on improving pedestrian, bike, and transit experience. From the pedestrian standpoint, the use of curb extensions at the intersections of 13th Street and Georgia Street reduces the overall crossing distance of Kennedy Street and improves the visibility between drivers and pedestrians. Narrowing the street at the mid-block stormwater curb extensions help slow down traffic which benefits those walking and biking.

Existing street trees are preserved, ground plane lawn in landscape strip and in the portion of front yards is replaced with drought tolerant and water absorbent plants. New street trees are added within existing gaps.
3
Street is converted into a “curbless street” profile with a “W” crown cross section allowing for the stormwater flow line on the outside edge of the parking zone. Deteriorating asphalt is replaced with high-albedo concrete paving to reduce urban heat island.
4
Landscaped Infiltration Gaps (LIG’s) within concrete paving strips in the parking zone allows rainfall to be captured and soak into the ground.

Key Development Directives:
TRANSPORTATION: This site should be highly permeable to all modes of transportation including autos, bikes, pedestrian, and if feasible, streetcar travel. Heavy emphasis should be made on creating quality streets that support sustainable transportation options as well as stormwater management in the form of green streets. DESTINATION: For a site that has been abandoned for many years (really starting at a slow decline since the 1980’s) this is an opportunity to turn that energy completely inside out and create a bold destination for innovation, wellness, community gathering, and overall pride in Kenosha.
PHASE 2 IMPROVEMENTS: This showcases the initial build-out of the Kenosha Innovation Center Campus at the wetland terminus of Timeline Park. People go here for business, education, or to just enjoy Kenosha!
As remediation of the site takes place, temporary pedestrian pathways can be introduced throughout the project site allowing the community to connect to key destinations throughout the neighborhood.
Kenosha Innovation Center Campus Boundary
SITE PLAN CONTEXT: This is a neighborhood site very close to the Kenosha downtown. The attention to fit within the surrounding context and provide an highly functional, beautiful, and sustainable project development should be emphasized. Edge treatments should not be ignored and should reflect and help inspire enhancement to the surrounding neighborhood context.
PHASE 1: Connect and Heal
New single-family homes along the periphery of the site help heal the fractured grid pattern that the Chrysler Engine Plant slowly eroded over a period of 100 years. This will help create a contextually appropriate and “completed” edge along the project site boundaries.

60th Street
The addition of Timeline Park would tie these two bookends together as a central recreation use for residents of Kenosha.
Temporary park spaces within the project site would help the community gain a new appreciation for the site.

PHASE 3 IMPROVEMENTS: Once significant investment is brought in with new retail, Live-Innovate housing, and the streetcar is brought through the site from downtown, the Timeline Park Development is a destination.
The first significant development would occur along 52nd Avenue and 60th Avenue. Both would serve as anchors for the overall project development.

#1465-2772
BEAUTY: The site has the opportunity to bring forward a high level of urban design that can help inspire investment into the surrounding neighborhood. Streets and open spaces can help frame unique and modern forms of architecture within the project site. TIMELINE PARK: This site plan allows for robust development but also balances the need for quality open space for both passive and active recreation. “Timeline Park” is the central feature within the project development. This could be a regional draw park setting that draws people into the site and tells the rich history of Kenosha and its industries. The passage of time flows from north to south through Timeline Park starting thematically with the natural landscape, followed by agriculture, transportation, and then finally ending the story with the innovative industries of the future. There is a continuous linear water feature that also highlights this flow of time from the north to the south (past, present, and future).
KENOSHA INNOVATION CENTER CAMPUS: While we witnessed over time the slow draw down of the Chrysler Engine Plant over several decades, new technologies and innovations always make the way to the forefront. The project site allows for Kenosha to keep its innovative edge by provided a top-quality education, innovation, and sustainability campus right in the heart of a neighborhood setting. This campus can capitalize on multiple industries that are on the forefront of innovation, including: health and wellness, high-tech, transportation, energy, and overall sustainability. LIVE-”INNOVATE” RESIDENCES: People will want the convenience of living within a short walk to the site’s proposed amenities. This type of live-work scenario could be quite popular with young entrepreneurs. SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES: Despite what has been expressed as a low market for single family residential housing, our proposed plan allows for an expansion of this land use to heal the broken edges of the surrounding neighborhood context.
EXISTING STATUS
PHASE I IMPROVEMENTS: Temporary park spaces and circulation is put into place to allow for the surrounding community to finally utilize the Chrysler Engine Plant site as a neighborhood amenity.
The project site currently has no pedestrian connectivity to the surrounding neighborhood and offers little community interaction. Site is approximately 1.5 miles walking trip to the downtown area and is less than 10 minutes biking or rail time if this infrastructure existed. The leftover concrete “bones” of the Chrysler Engine Plant are still in place and can be used for incorporating the history into the new development conditions. The project sits between two nodes of business activity, the I-90 corridor and the Kenosha Downtown; however, there appears to be a more direct relationship to downtown.
EXISTING CONDITION: The Chrysler Engine Plant is currently not accessible to surrounding neighbors, but there is a distinctive beauty to watching the landscape creep into decades of concrete infrastructure.
