AREA 1 CONCEPTUAL PLAN

The design for the entry area creates a formal sculpture garden with a meandering walking train and outdoor community classroom. Crosswalks with special paving connect the two garden areas. A new 5′ sidewalk improves the pedestrian link between the sculpture garden and Railroad Avenue. The landscape design will create an effective landscape buffer from adjoining land uses and provide an attractive setting. The sculpture garden when lit will become a dramatic and engaging night time experience for visitors to the Gaines Street area.

AREA 2 CONCEPTUAL PLAN

The design for this area will create a matrix of sculpture and open space for passive use and recreation. The “Iron Field” can be used for special events and other community purposes. The landscape design will improve views into the space and create an effective buffer for the adjacent railway. The sculptures when lit will provide exciting ambiance for evening events at Railroad Square.
