The city hopes to connect the east and west side and give Black and Hispanic residents better lakefront access.
A rendering shows how the North Coast landbridge could, in one swoop, connect to the rest of the space.
Spearheaded by James Corner Field Operations, or JCFO, the New York City-based landscape architectural firm that did Manhattan's High Line and Cleveland's Public Square makeover, this week's big reveal paid testament to months of groundwork. Since the first public feedback seminar in November, City Hall has held 11 listening sessions and surveyed more than 1,200 people.
"I'm talking about creating moods that would improve the ecological health of the city," Lisa Switkin, architect for JCFO, told a packed house on Thursday."Promoting fitness. Promoting walking. All of those other things. This is a space people can heal together. It's an exciting, cleansing experience."An overview of the site shows how James Corner's team attempted to solve the Bibb administration's pursuit of a"lakefront for all.
Though much less of the lakefront will be devoted to mid-rises than an alternate plan proposed by the Haslam family, which owns the Browns, JFCO is proposing some mixed-use development they're calling The Village, along with a building or two more for"Lakefront Development." One might wonder exactly how much rents might go for in such development.
