1 Reclaiming North Charles Street For the Community and Pedestrians Aislynn Herbst In collaboration with the residents along North Charles Street Supported by the Penn State Center LArch 414 Pittsburgh Studio Department of Landscape Architecture The Pennsylvania State University Fall, 2012

3 Site Analysis: Green Spaces Locations of Green Spaces This map does not include all vacant lots along North Charles Street, but denotes the major spaces The larger green stretch to the north includes Fowler Playground and the gardens and stage near the Rec Center and pool The majority of these green spaces are located directly next to residences without any type of barrier This analysis was used to determine where there might be possible places for design interventions 1
4 Site Analysis: Vehicular Circulation Vehicular Circulation Elements North Charles Street is a major connection road between Perrysville Avenue and Brighton Road The secondary streets leading off North Charles Street all lead into residential areas There are two brick roads leading off North Charles Street, Nublock Street and Melrose Avenue The purpose of this mapping is to determine where the largest amount of traffic is coming from Vehicle Circulation Highest Amount of Traffic Lowest Amount of Traffic Brick Paving 2
5 Site Analysis: Bus Stops Locations of Bus Stops There are bus stops on both sides of the road and located at most intersections Most bus stops are denoted by a single sign on the sidewalk. Often, there is not enough standing room in order to keep the sidewalk free for pedestrians This analysis was conducted to find the amount of bus stops and their condition to determine if interventions can be made there Frequently used bus stops are marked with a red circle The bus stop below the Crispen Street intersection has no standing room for people to safely wait Many bus stops are located in areas where there is a nearby vacant lot which can be utilized as a waiting area 3
6 Site Analysis: Street Lights Locations of Street Lights Most street lights are only located along the east side of North Charles Street. This becomes an issue for heavily used spaces on the opposite side of the street The secondary street intersections only contain one street light although there are sidewalks on all sides of the street Some bus stops are not located beneath a street light and therefore become unsafe to use at night One example of a bus stop along North Charles Street that is not located beneath a street light 4
7 Site Analysis: Sidewalks Locations of Sidewalks North Charles Street has sidewalks on both sides of the road expect stretching along the side of the Crispen Street intersection where a bus stop is located Much of the sidewalk is in disrepair. The crumbling sidewalks make walking difficult More often than not there is overgrown vegetation creeping onto the sidewalk that also makes walking difficult if not impossible The only remnant of this sidewalk is a 2ft wide stretch along the curb An example of an area with overgrown vegetation that makes it difficult to walk and stand to wait for the bus 5
8 Site Analysis: Overlay Locations of Bus Stops, Street Lights, and Sidewalks This overlay shows the elements that were discussed on the previous pages Those bus stops with poor sidewalks, no sidewalks, or not beneath street lights can be clearly seen These issues must be addressed to help facilitate more residents walking along North Charles Street The black squares highlight the areas the should be addresses throughout project development 6
9 Project Development Project Goals: 1. To create a walkable and lively street that will strengthen the neighborhood ties and bolster socialization 2. Improve sidewalk conditions to make it easier for pedestrians to walk 3. Use paving art made by the residents to physically show that the community has a presence and cares for the street 4. Improve bus stops where there is little to no standing room 5. Implement small scale site designs at the places of interest along the street in order to create destinations for people to walk to Concept: Create a walkable and lively street for the residents on and around North Charles Street 7
10 Paving Enhancements Paving Improvements Repair Crumbling Paving Paving Art Signifies place is unique from other areas of he surrounding neighborhoods Bus Stops A street light should be installed above every bus stop to brighten up the area for safety purposes Place benches at stops where there is the greatest need When applicable, move stops to improved vacant lot to provide more standing space Where there is no sidewalk, create paved standing area Use the above paving art to denote that bus stops are significant places. This will show to those on the bus that North Charles Street is important to its residents. Prune and manage overgrown vegetation and invasives Place stepping stones or handprints into cement paving Source: GTECH Strategies 8
11 Site Interventions Elements of Site Interventions: 1. Site Interventions are located along the street at the entrances to places of interest. This will help to draw in visitors who are walking along the street. 2. Each design is comprised of a seating area, planting beds, and areas of paving art 3. The planting beds contain flowering plants and tall grasses and are planted as to not block views that inhibit safety (see Planting Palette on pg. 10) Places for Site Implementation: 1. City Steps (rotated to vacant lot adjacent to Puharic Mark J Plumbing &Heating) 2. Row Homes (vacant lot on the south side) 3. Pittsburgh Project Access Road to Community Rec Center and pool (next to the Farmer s Market Building) 4. Entrance to the Pedestrian Path (on the southern end of Fowler Playground) 5. Entrance to Fowler Playground Row Homes City Steps Fowler Playground Entrance Pedestrian Path Entrance Pittsburgh Project Access Road 9

13 City Steps: Plan The proposed relocation of the city steps provides a safer route for pedestrians. On the upper level on Brighton Road, one can see down to North Charles and Strauss Street which provides a full view of people using the steps. This new location is also a more direct route between North Charles Street and Brighton Road.

The trees help to focus the view from the overlook onto North Charles instead of the adjacent businesses. The seating at the North Charles Street entrance provides for socialization and resting.

15 Row Homes: Plan Row Homes The row homes along central North Charles Street are not provided with front or back yards. This design proposes a playing and gathering space adjacent to the south end of the row homes. The trees will provide dappled shading for the seating area and paving art locations.

16 Row Homes: Ground Level Perspective The children living in the row homes were previously playing on a gravel vacant lot. This design allows for plenty of playing space. The paving art is placed between the wall seating where it can be easily viewed by pedestrians walking along North Charles Street and those visitors sitting within the space.

The row of trees and linear planting beds help to draw the eye back from North Charles Street to let pedestrians know that there is something unique off of the main street.

The raised crosswalk also helps to provide direct access by putting the primary focus on the pedestrian. 16
19 Pedestrian Path Entrance: Plan The entrance to the pedestrian path will be marked by planting beds on either side to highlight its location. Pedestrians are forced to pass over the paving art as they enter and exit the path which will help to show the community s presence. The planting beds extend down the path a few feet to entice people to continue walking.

22 Fowler Playground Entrance: Ground Level Perspective Unlike the other site interventions, Fowler Playground s Entrance includes vehicle access. The safety bollards placed between the vehicle entrance and the seating area will help to keep pedestrians and visitors looking at the paving art safe.
