DESIGN GOALS
1. Create a cohesive continuous and inviting open space with a range
of uses and activities.
2. Provide open space links from north to south between the new
development and the surrounding neighborhoods by continuing the
existing street system as pedestrian corridors into the open space.
3. Create an open space sheltered from atlantic avenue traffic while
promoting public access and use.
