DRAFT | 2 march 201815III SITE ASSESSMENTSITE 02: LIBRARY CAMPUS/ ROSELLI PARK OpportunitiesConstraints• Adjacency to Library• Proximity to active urban edge• Adjacency to parking• Existing open green space with mature trees• Potential to plant new trees• Potential to serve as an anchor for North-South pedestrian link • Potential to connect Roselli Park to potential adjacent redevelopment• Opportunity for bike community link along Pennsylvania Ave• Limited eyes on park • Limited adjacency to Core Streets• Adjacent to blank side of Library and parking on three sides• Signifi cant storm drain, water, and electrical utilities may need to be relocated• Utilities may need to be adjusted to grade at driveway closure on MIddlefi eld• Potential elimination of up to 201 parking spaces• Access to and from the site is diffi cult along Middlefi eldThe site has good potential- It has existing green space and mature trees, and already acts as an anchor to the existing civic center and plazas. The site also has the potential to serve as an anchor point for a North-South pedestrian link between Library, City Hall, the Downtown Core, and the Marshall Street Parking Garage. There are also mixed-use and offi ce buildings across Middlefi eld that could potentially activate the park if programmed correctly.But because the site holds many parking spots for Downtown, and because of the City’s parking agreement with the adjacent theater, the potential with this site could be limited to the NE corner. The mature trees, landscape mounds, and blank library wall limit eyes on the park.Site Summary 7.B. - Page 20
