Abstract

This design study explores how through the creation of a pedestrian corridor Ellettsville, IN can begin to shape its physical, social, and economic future in a positive way. This design study proposes to develop a pedestrian/ bicycle corridor that integrates an abandoned rail corridor and jacks Defeat Creek. This corridor will educate its users about the history of Ellettsville, emphasize Ellettsville's natural and human-made assets, and help make the town more pedestrian friendly. The corridor will act as the backbone for a larger pedestrian plan that will connect important areas and increase the ease of circulation for pedestrians in the the town.
