DEDICATION Mike is well rounded with a diverse set of interests from hiking/backpacking, to bike racing, to ultimate frisbee. His team oriented work ethic and twenty years of practice earned him and his team the CoEd Ultimate Frisbee National Championship. (below: with team captain Steve Finn)

PASSION Mike grew up in New York and earned a Bachelor of Music degree (saxophone). In 2002 he moved to Seattle and spent seven years working for a social justice organization focused on corporate social and environmental responsibility. In shifting careers, Mike earned a certificate in sustainable business and took classes in drawing and the history of landscape architecture. (above: self portrait)

SCHOLARSHIP

Mike is currently developing a masters thesis focused on ways to enhance public space and the right-of-way through green stormwater infrastructure and bicycle infrastructure. His research is focused on a local site in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, referred to as the “missing link” of the Burke-Gillman Trail. (left: photo documentation of the existing conditions of the “missing link”)

Adaptive Streets Book Co-Author

Mike was awarded the Scan|Design Internship in May 2013. As co-recipient, Mike worked with fellow Green Futures Lab intern P Jordan Lewis to craft a 64 page book entitled Adaptive Streets: Strategies for Transforming Seattle’s Right-of-Way. Research and design of the book continued duringP the three-month internship in Copenhagen and the book was completed in the Spring of 2014.

Green Futures Lab Internship

A cycle track can be designed in a variety of ways to create separation from vehicles.

One of the more common approaches is to position the cycle track between parked vehicles and the sidewalk. This remix should consider relationships with other strategies as well as connections to the existing and proposed bicycle infrastructure network.

SF Bicycle Coalition

Cycle tracks, also called protected bike lanes, adapt streets for bicycling by making P riders of all ages and abilities feel safe and protected with a physical buffer from vehicle P traffic. This strategy can be tested through the implementation of temporary cycle tracks by using paint,Pflexible bollards/delineators or planters.

ACTIVATE YOUR SPACE: TOOLS

ADAPTIVE STREETS

P

FROM STREET TO QUALITY PUBLIC SPACE What are the components of creating quality public space in the right-of-way? You can start by thinking on a larger scale and develop an understanding the site considerations. Once you have taken this into account, you can begin to review how the site can be utilized. Propose activity programming that is adaptive and able to change and respond to user needs and seasonality. Finally, look at the detail scale and the physical elements that provide a safe environment with invitations for human use and interaction.

REMIX SEATTLE: VISIONS

ADAPTIVE STREETS

RESIDENTIAL STREET VISION Through Street In order for a residential street to be adapted for a wider variety of uses, it may require traffic calming elements. Curb bulbs or chicanes (alternating curb bulbs) are a great way to address scale, if the street is too wide. They can also reduce speed on a through street.

These types of interventions can accommodate public amenities like seating, plants and stormwater infiltration. A good place to introduce these right-of-way investments is along neighborhood greenways or bicycle boulevards.

ADAPTIVE STREETS

COMMERCIAL STREET VISION

Active Transport Street

An active transport street is typically found in a commercial district and can support walking and biking in conjunction with bus and/or trolley service. The addition of strategies such as curb bulbs, demonstration cycle tracks and traffic calming elements contribute to a safer and more highly used corridor. A road diet is a traffic calming technique which reduces the width of the road to create space for pedestrian and bicycle improvements.

The system is composed of two wet ponds, a spillway, a plunge pool, high and low marsh zones, a micropool and embankment to treat the highway 520 run-off before it reaches Lake Washington.

The Arboretum Wetland Education Launch (AWEL) establishes a new north entry focused on understanding and accessing wetland and waterfront habitat. This pedestrian and cyclist Arboretum threshold strengthens the physical, visual and collaborative connection between the University of Washington and the Arboretum. The constructed stormwater detention and wetland treatment areas will reinforce the site’s educational focus while establishing additional habitat.

Pedestrian Priority & Protection at University Light Rail Station This design establishes a typology for the streetscape and active public space that facilitates interaction and negotiation between divergent populations and forms. The standard hierarchy of sidewalk and street, vehicle and pedestrian, is blurred. Public life is nurtured by prioritizing the protection of people from vehicles and the elements.

Designed to be open, flexible, and permeable, these nodes are able to accommodate a variety of activities and events. They are situated along a curvilinear spine that breaks the rigid city grid, providing a choice of invitations to congregate and even play in a variety of conditions and situations. The network of glass canopies along the spine function to protect people, mitigate the imposing scale of the block and UW Tower, as well as foster dynamic and passive interaction.

Project Description The Madison Valley Stormwater Park is a Seattle Public Utilities site that is being developed as a park space. The project will expand the 1 million gallon above-ground stormwater holding area and provide the surrounding community with recreation and other public space amenities. The lower portion will be a cypress woodland with a boardwalk and the southeast corner (high point of the site) will be a neighborhood plaza with playground and barbecue areas overlooking the cypress woodland.
