East and West Station Approaches Workshop PYMIG 10/22/2018 1

Design Development Process 1. Identify the Problem 2. Investigate Solutions 3. Consult with Stakeholders – Select High Level Solutions 4. Refine the High Level Solutions – Identify Details 5. Consult with Stakeholders – Select Details 6. Refine the Overall Solution based on the Details 7. Detail and Approve the Plan 8. Build It! 2

Base Scheme for the Station 3

Station Approaches- Southeast, Southwest and Northwest West East Pedestrian Travel Route / Station Access Point 4

Station Approaches- Additional Access for the Southwest West East East Pedestrian Travel Route / Station Access Point 5

PYMIG Design Principles • • Access Proximity Safety • • Existing established pedestrian path to the pond Lighting – Even lighting, not just minimum • • Access could start further north. Ease of exit – no dead ends. • • Sustainability East & West have different criteria or priorities • • Budget constraint Stormwater vs. aesthetic experience • • Leed compliance Need to improve design within budget • • Access Quality Easy access for Maintenance • • Design Enhanced ADA Accessibility • • “Cohesive” design/architecture Shade & Rain protection • • Prioritize pedestrian experience, Lighting & Even paving treatments • • Direct, non-meandering path of travel OK for the design to differ from other parts of the station • • Pedestrian Aesthetic experience Sense of place to draw people towards the south end • Connectivity & Multimodal functionality • Doesn’t feel like a second thought • Map out path of travel • Sense of equilibrium • Bike & Bus accessibility • Experience at grade VS ramp • What is the experience like under the ramp? • Lighting 6
