Abstract
Description
Introduction: Kennett Square Pennsylvania, is known for its main street, its
close proximity to Longwood Gardens, and The Creamery. The Creamery
is located on Birch Street(seen below in cutout). The Creamery is a
renovated dairy barn that was reopened in 2016 as a gathering space
for families to hear live music, congregate, socialize, eat and drink
and even participate in ax throwing. From their website, The Creamery
is “A community gathering space for the whole family. Add food, craft
beer and cocktails, lawn games and live music and you have everything
that you need for a good time!” (Creamery Website).”
Birch Street is a connector road to some of the busier streets in
Kennett Square, experiencing a lot of pedestrian and vehicular volume
and there was the thought that it could become a more vibrant connector
with even more amenities to serve the community members who frequent the
Creamery. What could Birch Street become? How might a redesigned street
improve the street’s ability to absorb stormwater runoff, enhance
accessability,and making it more walkable?
