DescriptionPROJECT MISSION This project will re-imagine West Chester as a pedestrian oriented town reflective of its summer schedule along East Gay Street. From Matlack to New Street, East Gay Street will provide a space for businesses, vendors, visitors, and students to gather as a community. This project will encourage safe pedestrian traffic, urban greening, and year-round use. I want to create a space that acts as an extension of what is already there, a place for the residents and visitors to experience the already thriving business, restaurants, and shops in a safe, sustainable and accommodating environment. GOALS & OBJECTIVES: 1. Create gathering spaces for year-round use Road Redesign / Closing Adding site elements and spaces to accommodate users 2. Encourage safe pedestrian traffic Road Diets Material changes to promote safety 3. Design for urban greening Bioretention areas for water filtering Saving existing trees / proposing new trees
