SITE with overlay o 1830s Saltworks

LIMESTONE, SALT, & the “YELLOW FELLOW”About 399 million years ago, the land now occupied by

Syracuse was covered by a salty sea. The sea evaporated,

leaving behind salt and limestone-- which emerged as major

resources in the 19th century. The project reengages historiesthat contributed to orm the site, as a means o building a

robust place-related identity going orward. A StoryCorps

Porch will enable residents to contribute to urther these

histories.Traces o the Saltworks -- the frst industry to occupy the site-

- provide a larger grain within which to inscribe and integrate

new elements and spaces, inorming their design language,

allowing modulation in relation to diverse site conditions. Salt

sheds are reinterpreted as programmatic mobile devices. (Seealso “Building Bicycle Culture” at let.)

Other historical events contributed to the ormation o site and

neighborhood in the 20th century, producing its disconnectionrom Onondaga Creek and downtown (identifed by residents

as the ‘Berlin Wall’), its many vacant lots, and abundance

o impermeable surace. To achieve continuity in support o

physical activity, our proposal exceeds the target area to reachOnondaga Creek. The Vacant Lots-Urb an Forestry component

o the project recalls the once orested condition o land now

occupied by city.

The Ecological Model is a comprehensive health promotion model

concerned with ways in which environment, behavior, and policy

help individuals make healthy choices in their daily lives. The corebelie o the model is that human behavior does not happen in a

vacuum. Rather, human behavior is a complex interaction between

individuals, their amilies, their communities, their spaces, and the

society in which they live.

nature, access to recreational acilities,

the aesthetic or perceived qualities o

these acilities, and community designissues related to density, land use, and

TRAILS PORCHES & ROOMS

The Trail, Porches, and Rooms work together with existing street and buildings to orm a Linear

Park, drawing people up and down the street.

--the Trail brings the “Outside” – Nature -- into the

street;--Porches mediate between inside and outside,

residential and public space, sidewalk and street,

Trail and Rooms;

--the Rooms bring the inside out, locating Outdoor

Program Space in relation with NWSI and partner organizations, who may play a stewardship role.

The PORCHES are social inrastructure:thresholds that mediate between disparate

scales and uses, emphasizing interactivit y. The

Community Porch at the James Geddes Houses

provides social seating, shade, trees, lowplanting and integrated lighting, oating between

street and sidewalk, open to both sides. At theboundaries o community spaces (the Rooms),

they are transparent, exible enclosures, insupport o saety, program, and identity, including

digital access and interaction. Porches are to

be calibrated in relation with street width and

location o porches in original neighborhood.

Porch elements are constructed o black locust

or other locally-sourced wood, in combination

with recycled plastic lumber, and other durablematerials. Photovoltaic panels generate energy

used to power Wif access and integrated LED

lighting.

The TRAIL is a prototype or elevating pedestrian

experience through integration o nature and play,

or a positive experience o nature in the city. The

mission o the Trail is to oster stewardship o urban nature through diverse recreational and

educational opportunities, enhancing awareness,

appreciation, and understanding. Conceptual

strategy is to approach design o sidewalk as i itwere in a park. Urban Nature Trail

The Trail draws nature “in” rom Onondaga

Creek at the edge o the neighborhood, and “up”rom layers o history o ormation o the site.

It operates as a Nature conveyor, introducing

natural settings and elements, reintegrating

ecological systems into Wyoming Street, includingin Play areas, where grass hills, water, rocks,

plants, and wood develop the senses, stimulate

exploration, and provide opportunities or

imaginative play.

It will be designed as a meander, interweaving

ows o people and water and drits o topography

and planting, integrating Fitness Circuits, Play Loops, and Nodes o Social Seating. Texture and

materiality draw on regional ecology and geology,

including Tully Limestone, part o the Onondaga

Formation.

Along the Trail outcroppings anchored in low

mounds provide varied spatial experiences and

exciting challenges.

Connecting the south end o Wyoming Street to

the Onondaga Creek Walk and downtown, the Trail

engages all project elements and spaces, linking

to bike lanes on West Street, through RecreationAlley, with its Wave Screen, Playground, Play

Loop, Fitness Circuits, and Skate Park.

Planting along the Trail aims to maximizebiodiversity. Gently undulating topography,

varied shade, and textured materiality, and low-

maintenance plantings, stimulate the senses,

and encourage movement and discovery throughactive participation. Paving and planting in the

trail slip alongside each other – creating a sense

o uidity.

The Trail oers a paradigm or integrating

healthy unctional ecological systems and with

an improved recreational inrastructure or a

more beautiul and productive city. It extend s thelogic o the Connective Corridor to realize urther

co-benefts, in this neighborhood adjacent to the

creek. Trail design standards would meet city

DOT requirements on public property, with more

exibility in site areas belonging to NWSI.

The Radiant Trail, a geothermally-heated (salt-

ree) walkway between the Trailhead and Nojaim

Brothers Supermarket, is proposed as a pilotproject, with health and green inrastructure

metrics, which could be tracked.

Disposition o planting will maximize presence o existing mature trees, or which we will produce a

tree protection plan. New Trees including Urban

Forestry/Nursery Lots, are High Canopy Trees,

enabling visibility. Plantings at the pavement edgeare characterized by those ound in the shade o

the orest, including native Red Maple, understory

trees, erns and evergreen groundcovers.

The Trail and the Urban Forestry initiatives

together contribute to a richer, unctioning

ecology that osters biodiversity while increasing

opportunities or physical and social activity.

The ROOMS are community spaces, with

program and character calibrated to

provide a range o activities. At these sp

stormwater runo rom roos is captureand used or irrigation. All o these spa

include lighting and seating, and may pr

opportunities or art installation.

The Trailhead, at the south end o Wyom

Street, is conceived as an Urban Nature

Center, adding to the Nojaim’s and St.

Joseph’s Health and Wellness anchor. TTrailhead provides Trail, Creek, and Nea

Westside tourist inormation, as well as

Interactive history o Onondaga county l

and people. As well as Trail Maps, it couprovide bike, cross-country ski and sno

shoe rental.

A Healing Garden, Shueboard and Boc

Courts, and restrooms (i easible) woul

contribute to this environment.
