Urban Water Journey

Civic Fragments System

Civic fragments are woven together along N 130th Street make this route safer and more appealing to pedestrians and bicyclists, and more ecologically healthy. In addition, based on different rhythms, the street exhibits a different character for each movement. People will use this route more often and come to know their neighborhood better as well.

Connection In Green Development

The overpass provides a new landmark for N 130th Street which offers pedestrians and bicyclists another option to across Aurora Avenue N. In the future, the commercial center is expected to increase gathering places, with mixed use developments increasing. The new Police Station will also give N 130th Street a safer image.

With a new Urban Village surrounding the N 130th Street Light Rail Station, more people will be living in this area. Northacres Park becomes a treasured urban forest. A new pedestrian entrance is proposed at 3rd Ave NE with a raised crosswalk across N 130th Street and pedestrian axis path connecting to the dog off leash area and children’s playground. Residents can walk to enjoy a baseball game in Northacres Park. Along N 130th Street, a meandering path takes visitors along a series of habitat rich bioswales.
