The Schenk's Corners intersection should be changed from a one way north to a two way that ends just before the northern park and merges with division and Atwood. I am leaning toward a version of the left one as it's curves will slow traffic and eliminating the passage of Atwood street through the top left will make daily and special even usage more pedestrian friendly. On the north part of the space, ideally would be a type of co-housing or co-op

This is a rough sketch of the intersection and size of the
apartment lot. Within the apartment lot will be commercial space, about 33 apartments, and 132 parking spaces with a four level aboveground lot. I may build a level or two down for additional parking and a service entrance for the commercial space. (Calculations and more detailed images on the next page)
This is the small lot to the north of the
main intersection. I simply plan to move the buildings to the front of the street and move the parking to the back to better the storefront feel of the street. I also plan to add either office or living space above the retail.
This is my master plan scale base map. Ive located the
two parks as well as the Schenks Corner intersection, adjacent future apartment lot, and a parking lot just north of the main intersection. In order to encourage traffic down Eastwood, it should be changed from a one way north to a two way that ends just before the northern park and merges with Division and Atwood.
Here is the pile of trace used to through around ideas
for the main intersection and two parks on the north and south ends of the Atwood, Winnebago, and Eastwood triangle.
These were the two intersections Tim Anderson put together as
options for redoing the Schenks Corners intersection. I am leaning toward a version of the left one as its curves will slow traffic and eliminating the passage of Atwood street through the top left will make daily and special even usage more pedestrian friendly.
This is the south-most park space. Here I
propose incorporating rentable community garden space and a selection of public art. On the north part of the space, ideally, would be a type of co-housing or co-op living situation with farmable terrace and roof. The space would harvest its water on site (through below ground level spreaders below the pervious paths) and include a shed and spigot of some type.
Here is a section view of the apartment lot
with a four story front (with the commercial and apartment space) and a four story above ground parking lot with a possible two below ground parking lots/service space.
Here are the parking plans. The
ramp will stay to one side, allowing the stars and elevator space alone on the other side. A rough plan for the 2nd and 4th floors is in the top corner while the 1sy and 3rd plan sits in the middle.
These are the calculations for
the number of spots for four parking floors and my rough calculations and guesses for the number of apartments. Renters who want a spot will then have their own spots that they can rent out from the lot.
This is a vision board I put together with desired plants, a color
pallet, and images that inspire the feel I aim to give the space. That is of a natural reminders in an growing urban space where residential and industrial merge. This pallet also matches existing infrastructure in the Kennedy Condos at the southern park as well as the Green Owl Caf and Alchemy at the main intersection of Schenks Corners.
