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 proposed to remove the freeway, reconnect the streets, daylight the historic creek, and put people first to create "Mission Creek."
Recognizing the diversity of streets in the area, which merit different design considerations, I created a new street typology for the area. The typology is inspired by San Francisco's Better Streets Plan and Complete Streets Chicago Design Manual.
Preliminary research and select sketches for the final board:
