PEDESTRIAN-ORIENTED STREET ENHANCEMENT STUDY MOSHER LANE | COLLEGE STATION
Street Location, Profile, and Built Form.
Objectives for the Mosher Lane Redesign Project:
-Improved organization of dedicated service parking to reduce the current chaotic traffic, and the conflict with pedestrians and bikers moving between the Student Housing and the new Commons buildings. -Reduced 30 minute car parking to make the street more pedestrian-friendly. -Addition of softscape, tree canopy, and hammocks if feasible. Trees do not have to formally line the sidewalk, but consistently spaced. -Relocation of the trash container away from the sidewalk and direct view.
-Improve overall campus imageability per the new Campus Masterplan. To support campus cohesion through material choices, for eg. using Paving related with the Southside Character Zone.
