Strategies: Activation 1. Improve physical attractiveness of King Street to enhance livability for residents, draw visitors, and boost economic development. 2. Approach sidewalks as “hybrid” urban spaces, creating provisions that allow for multiple activities at different times of the day and in all seasons. 3. Allow flexibility in the use of open spaces and parking zones (including parking lots) to enable 24/7 use. Identity 1. Support and enhance local identity by supporting activities such as social gathering, festival and events, and specific shopping experiences, and through design elements and details that are relevant to historic and present conditions, such as signage, awnings, materials, street furniture, and vegetation. Connections 1. Improve connections within the neighborhood and beyond by enahncing pedestrain experience on King Street Improve connections between areas west and east of I-5 by reprogramming and enhancing the area under I-5. 2. Improve the real and perceived safety of potential pedestrian connectors, including the alley network and the area under I-5. Greening 1. Claim open spaces now within areas slated for redevelopment especially for Little Saigon, to ensure proper future open space ratios. 2. Encourage flexible greening strategies as ways to activate and enhance underused spaces and voids. 3. Enhance pedestrian experience by bringing vegetation into the streetscape. Phasing Strategies As a part of design development, students were asked to complete a series of phasing strategies for their topics, and to consider for each of these the actors/agencies involved. Phase One should be short term, inexpensive, and easily obtainable; Phase Two should be achievable within 1 to 5 years; Phase Three should be longer-term, and require more investment and collaboration.
