Downtown Park Edge

 

Alternatives for the Western edge of the lake capitalize on the energy of downtown while improving the green park space for all users. Several specific ideas are proposed:

Downtown Street Terminus
"Nodes" or points of interest occur at the end of downtown streets in order to enhance the connection to downtown. These points may be designed as small plazas for noontime lunches or paths that connect directly to the lake edge.

Connect Perimeter Parks
Redesigning the intersection of Harrison and 20th enlarges Snow Park and the lake park border. Pedestrian connections from downtown are simplified and street crossings are made safer. Two alternatives are shown.
