Recurring Recommendations
• Improve walking & biking experience: paths
•Reduce traffic congestion & enhance multimodal use
•Create a sense of continuity with site elements: plants, lights,
signage
•Connect & expose natural systems: water & woodland
•Address drainage issues

P R I N C I P L E S :
> Extend landscape character of the historic Grounds to the Entry Corridors
> Enhance Entry Corridors as a sequence of landscape thresholds that improve intuitive wayfinding
> Use open space, views, low stone walls, plantings, water & bridges to enrich entry experience
> Preserve and enhance existing residual woodlands
> Create a sense of place that encourages people to linger
