Abstract:
This project was Ann Arbor, Michigan along the Huron River in a historically significant part of town that has received little attention as far as being an amenity for the community. Currently, this location sits stagnant with little activation of the riverfront and no response to the opportunity for economic development. The design solution was a riverfront master plan that focused on a community park located between the river and train station. The main purpose of the project was to provide an amenity for the neighborhood and complimenting the transit oriented urban infill development is focused along one street of the adjacent neighborhood. The main goals of the project were to create a node of activity in this area of town, to introduce the rest of Ann Arbor to this neighborhood, and to activate Ann Arbor in Southeast Michigan.
