It was originally lined with many clothing stores, candy shops, and playground equipment, but the promenade has evolved over the years into a thriving shopping corridor with specialized shops and brand name stores with small stores and galleries crammed in between. It was mostly a narrow alley walk only for pedestrians at first, but to meet building standards, a single roadway was established during the 1990’s with evenly spaced bollards implying a division. The buildings range from one to three stories, with many signs hanging from buildings and lampposts. Several short stone planters double as seating for pedestrians while providing greenery to the colorful buildings.

It is also a side street of Omotesando Avenue, a street well-known for its multitude of luxury and brand name stores with a train station located on both ends, attracting a lot of foot traffic toward the alley. The closeness of all the stores allow pedestrians to be able to efficiently explore the entire street and come across the many businesses located there. Cat Street has become a gathering spot for independent boutiques, cafes, and eateries over the years and is expected to change with time to cater to new trends the same way fashion does. 4’ 5’ 12’ 12’ 5’ 4’ 5’ 5’ 12’ 8’ 5’ 10’ SECTION A-A’ SECTION B-B’ Anita Wu | Barry Lehrman | LA4111L | 24 October 2018 NET LOFT GRANVILLE (FORMER) EMILY RAILSPUR ANNOTATED PLAN SCALE: 1” = 400’ SHOPPING MALL PUBLIC MARKET CARR UNIVERSITY DISTRICT 0 200’ 400’ 800’ GRANVILLE ISLAND (1979) By DIALOG Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada The peninsula was once a fishing area, but as Vancouver grew in size, a reclamation project for an industrial area was approved by the Vancouver Harbour Commission. The island was created under the Granville Street Bridge and by 1923, all of the lots on the island were occupied by corrugated-tin factories. Architectural firm DIALOG redesigned the industrial site into a market that opened to the public in 1979. The island is most known for its market with generally 50 vendors in the space, but there is also an art university, multiple art galleries, and cafes spread out through the island. The buildings range from one to three stories, with the main roads following the shape of the island. Some roads have distinctive sidewalks and curbs while others only have bollards to distinguish the difference.
