This year's Plan Preparation Studio, led by Elizabeth MacDonald and Allan Jacobs, studied San Francisco's Central Freeway Corridor, with scenarios for a full or partial freeway take-down.

 

I worked in a team of nine students to develop a neighborhood plan for the area around the Central Freeway. We propose to remove the freeway, reconnect the streets, daylight the historic creek, and put people first to create "Mission Creek."

OUR VISION: Rejuvenate Mission Creek as an inviting new center - the open, green-space core of a sustainable transportation corridor, in a walkable, high-density, mixed-use neighborhood bustling with activity.  Diverse and eclectic Central Plaza connects Mission Creek Park to 13th Street - a multi-modal boulevard providing wide sidewalks, bus rapid transit (BRT) service, cycle access and a human-scale public realm lined with retail, office and residential uses.

 

I created the graphic standards for the team, which included board layouts and neighborhood logo design.
