URI LA Students Create Designs For Riverfront Park in Westerly Originally published: January 3, 2015 From the Westerly Sun | By NANCY LAVIN Sun Staff Writer Graphic By Bernard Garrett
WESTERLY — The assignment was to build a park and a parking lot that meet the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s requirements for high-risk flooding areas using local materials and incorporating green infrastructure while creating a design that reflects the town’s existing infrastructure and character. A group of students in the University of Rhode Island’s Landscape Architecture program devoted their fall semester to studying, planning and eventually creating proposals for the 2½-acre space on Canal Street near its intersection with Friendship Street. “We had to take in a lot of main issues that were pretty limiting to the design,” said student Emily Sanchez. “The emphasis was really to incorporate all the regulations, but then think ‘OK, well how can we do this in the simplest manner?’” Following these guidelines while developing creative, attractive designs was no easy feat, but the students of Professor Richard Sheridan’s junior-level landscape architecture class proved they were up to the task. “I’m thrilled with what they did,” said Westerly Town Planner Marilyn Shellman. And not only did the assignment provide students with a firsthand learning opportunity, but their ideas will also be incorporated into the actual construction of a park area in that location that will begin this spring, said Shellman. The project was funded by a $1.1 million FEMA grant, of
which the town must match 25 percent, in order to ensure the land meets the requirements for high-risk flooding zones. The property, which is located at 20, 22, 24 and 26 Canal St., was severely damaged by the floods of 2010. Ensuring that the land can withstand future flooding — a strong possibility because of its proximity to the river — was of chief importance to the students’ proposals. “Resilience seemed to be a big buzzword among the projects,” said Sheridan, who has been working with Shellman to assign his students projects relating to the Westerly area for many years. Past design topics included a streetscape on Pierce Street and a riverfront park on Canal Street in Westerly, along with a recreation center for the Richmond Commons development and a village design for the Wood River area in Charlestown. Even with a somewhat limiting set of guidelines, students’ designs included a wide range of ideas and creative additions to the park. Many included a kayak launch area to promote water recreation, while some added a stage, which could serve as a space for outdoor community theater. Others dreamt up natural-based play areas for children. Sanchez’s design, for example, included a type of playground made of natural materials, complete with a treehouse and a series of boulders. Explaining the inspiration for her design, Sanchez said, “In this day in age, kids kind of lose their
