Greenway: Pedestrian Bridge
Elevation showing Pedestrian Bridge
The Pedestrian Bridge is one of the main con-nection elements to the design. It allows visi-tors to cross the I-110 traffic while walking along the railroad track. When the bridge begins there is a pedestrian tunnel that runs under-neath the bridge. This allows an easy access from the parking lot to the shopping corridor, which eventually leads to Spanish Town Park.
Pedestrian Bridge Axonometric
The Entrance Plaza is at the souther-most of the site. It establishes the beginning of the greenway that runs along the railroad. When walking into the plaza there are two large seating walls that in gradually slope down and invite you into the plaza. Throughout the plaza there are planters that are also seating benches. This area allows for a lot of shade and relaxation for the visitors.

Constraints
Lake Charles has had rapidly expanding infrastructure since the late 1800s. Due to economic decline and an evolution in industry many areas of vacancy have opened up and left the created infrastructure behind as an unused structure or barrier. The infrastructure of North Lake Charles meets the standards of the average city, but has several opportunities for improvement along with constraints that could be worked around.The phasing decides whether this design will work or not. We have established a well thought out phasing plan that starts immediately. Phase one goes from present time to fi ve years. In the part of the phasing a bike path will be con-structed. Solar panels will be introduced to the community. Begin the development of the pine forest along Interstate 10. Plant most of the vacant lots with native species. And begin the construction of the Educational Center.Phase two is from 5 years till about 20 years. The solar panels and wind mills will be constructed along the interstate. The introduction of the Industrial Park along the river will begin. And the implementation of a volunteer program will be established.Phase three runs from 20 years to 30 years. In this time period the paths through the Industrial Park will be open. There will also be an implementation of green for homes and business. And fi nally harvesting the pines at intervals to bring back the historic pine industry to Lake Charles.

Fence Sewer
Industrial complexes act as a strong barrier between the neighborhood and the river.
Runoff from the inter- state is col-lected by swales on either side
The railroad runs East and West and separates sections of the neighbor-hood.
Most sidewalks are 3 ft. in width with about a 2 ft. right-of-way before the houses fences start.
For the most part, sewer lines run parallel with the streets. Most of them are 4 ft. in depth and 6 ft. wide.
The averagestreet in the
neighborhood is 24 ft. in
width.
Small ditches, about 3ft. in width, on either side of the railroad, help to move water away from the railroad
sewer line usually runs on the opposite side of the street from powerlines.
powerlines cross over barriers
sewer lines either travel around or are released into canalspowerlines cross

During the stretch through North Lake Charles, I-10 is 6 lanes and is 150 ft. in width, acting as a strong divider between North and South Lake Charles
The Largest of power lines of-fer a right of way of about 50 ft.
The canals in the area average 15 ft. in width.

Since the Corps of Engineers are building a 40’ walk along the lake front the Lake Pontchartrain Basin Foundation thought it would be a great idea to design this area. The thought of the design is to give mean-ing and celebration to the Lighthouse. This area is meant to bring attention to the Lighthouse through the planting design which is a forced perspective di-rected toward the Lighthouse. Also Cabbage Palms were used because once before this area was de-veloped the palms ruled this area so bringing them back to the Lakefront a must. The hills / amphithe-aters are for relaxing a taking in the views of this site.
