accessible: ac•ces•si•ble: YOSEMITE x capable of being reached x easy to speak to or deal with x capable of being used or seen x capable of being influenced Yosemite Village has the opportunity to increase its accessibility to information, views, and exploratory play by re-programming Village buildings to create well-defined zones and by improving transportation options throughout the Valley. CONCERNS: x lack of resting area and exploratory options for visitors and staff within the Village x unclear mix of visitor space and administrative space x unclear hub that cannot accommodate heavy traffic // current Visitors’ Center breaks space x views to Upper Falls and Half Dome are inaccessible x limited alternate transportation & no incentive to ditch personal vehicles
OPPORTUNITIES: x take advantage of what technology has to offer// educational & informational apps and bike share x use of local material // nature play x more open spaces for visitors and more open secluded spaces for staff x reprogramming of building uses x reprogramming of transportation systems
Indian Village in need of re-visit and re-design. To be determined by First Nation Peoples

The Lit-Rail Greenway along 70th ave will be a central

safety + access
spine down a newly dense mixed-use development, making this project of short term priority need for revitalizing Tigard. Our proposed design is an exploratory study of a Greenway Corridor inluding a safe multimodal path system for pedestrians, bicyclists, and microvehicles as an addition to the light rail right of way.
A transit corridor that safely and efficiently provides a diverse transit user-experience for future dense mixed-used in the City of Tigard. Align with Portland’s Vision Zero to eliminate deaths and traffic-related injuries.
Prioritize the preservation of the ecological habitat in Tigard by elevating and curving the corridor over and around sensitive natural areas.
Public spaces on the Greenway will activate future mixed-use buildings to define Tigard’s new urban identity.
The Passage A scenic route of transit into the Tigard triangle, featuring an elevated and at grade multi-use path along the Light rail.
The Eco curve An urban greenway that prioritizes oak habitat and access to neighborhood parks. The rail and transit corridor align on a curve to preserve habitat.
The Overlook The rail and multi use path elevate over Dartmouth st, framing an opportune view of Tigard’s urban landscape.
