RISD AUDITORIUM 7 5 cents Resh FHiit September 27, 1973 A new look for Providence?

By JAY BARKER If architecture students at The Rhode Island School of Design have their way, Providence will someday have a car-less, pedestrian-only downtown business district served by a fully coordinated system of rapid transit Parks will replace parking lots, and the Providence River will be a pleasant place of repose rather than a foul rivulet covered by a concrete maze of one-way raceways. Named "Interface: Providence", the plan calls for the core city to stretch from route 195 to Union Station, and from route 95 to the river at the foot of College Hill. The plan focuses on a renovated Union Station as the center or high speed rail, bus and personal systems of tran­ sportation in the city. The venerable building would also become the hub of a statewide bus and rail network, including commuter rail lines running along each side of Narragansett Bay. The terminal would additionally link the area to the rest of the nation as a stop and connection on the route from Washington, D C. to Boston. "Interface" has prompted favorable responses from state and city government, private business and professional planners. This reaction has been generated in large part by the energetic promotional efforts of RISD and the student group, but is grounded in the plan's solid prac­ tical base. All facets of the project can be accomplished with known technology, using existing streets and buildings for some basic features. The first stage of a road encircling the business district and making the furthest possible auto penetration < outd be constructed from present roads Union Station is suitable for expansion and ri'nov.ilion. standi in idn.il It .< iidon t«»r .» t •-nli.il arrival nnct ilrpurtuir point tot >1 .prrsif tiuilnmimcn and travelers Indeed, tile downtown business district of Crovic/rnre is ideal for the nation's first "pedestrian city " The core area is no more than 3,900 feet from side-to-side, at most a 75 minute walk From perimeter parking lots, downtown would be immediately accessible to the shopper; from Union Station and Kennedy Plaza, stores and offices also also lie in close proximity for the train or bus commuter. Incoming goods will be delivered to a single terminal on An artist's conception of what Providence would look like if the RISD "Interface" plan is adopted. the rim road, from which small delivery vehicles will distribute them in the core.
