Principles of Design for Racial & Social Equity Engage and elevate the voices of underrepresented groups in each phase of planning & design
• Provide public spaces to just be, meaning: • Placest tha don’t feel like you need a specific purpose, activity or transaction to be there. • Places to sit that don’t appear to be connected to a building or a business • Places for groups to gather • Create spaces in buildings and within the public realm to accommodate businesses serving low-income customers, particularly with respect to food and drink, including: • Affordable retail space in buildings • Designated spaces for food carts or other street vendors • Avoid excessive or unnecessary spending on infrastructure that may limit resources available for other community priorities.
Affordable Housing • Multiple Medium Sized Parcels - Breaking the PHB land into two medium sized parcels allows for flexibility in implementation. • Distributed Affordability - Don’t cluster affordable housing parcels in one corner or section of the project area. • Integrate and Connect Affordable Housing - Don’t push all the affordable housing to the edges of the site.
USPS Master Plan EA 19-147114 DA Equitable Design 4 Feedback Received
What’s Working • Large gathering area feels welcoming to all ages and abilities, fosters a space for community interaction, and seems most flexible for different activities and needs. • Feels people- and pedestrian-friendly. • Connectivity to the rest of the city, between existing neighborhoods, through the Green Loop, and to Union Station is appealing. • Utilizing this space for a small business incubator is appealing. • Continuation of the Park Blocks is clear and continues the historic grid.
What’s not working: • Configuring the Park Blocks as a large open space feels unsafe and requires active ground floor uses and programming to work. • Needs stronger connectivity from open space to Union Station. • Space feels unorganized and has a lack of identity.
