BUS DROP OFF Further reduction in surface traffic will be achieved by providing parking underground. The underground street will be designed to appropriate criteria for vertical clearance as well as horizontal and vertical curvature, which will allow for bus traffic. The underground street will be designed to appropriate criteria for vertical clearance as well as horizontal and vertical curvature, which will allow for bus traffic. The bus facility can be developed for parking or as a passenger drop-off and pickup facility with direct access to the schools.

COMMUNITY ENHANCED New development “frames” the new green space, rendering it easily accessible to the community We have allowed for a regulation size playing field, on a north-south orientation, ideal for games We have allowed for a regulation size playing field, on a north-south orientation, ideal for games Tall slender buildings offset by the schools, forming a street-related public base, highly appropriate form of urban development for site
