Abstract

The analysis of a small site within the Village of Jonesville in hopes of revitalization reveals the opportunity to create two extensive corridor systems: A Rails-to-Trails and St. Joseph River greenway. The intersection of the two corridors within the community offers the ideal site for the beginning of a comprehensive regional design. Three areas are identified to become individual parks within the defined greenway boundary for Jonesville: Industrial Park, Recreation Park, and Jonesville Park. The site initially identified for the project, Jonesville Park, now becomes part of a whole as the site specific design is developed.
