The Community Garden began as a design charrette to establish and generate potential key concepts for the plan. Plans were refined to a collaborative plan for the site. Recycling and reuse inspired the site and pushed for creative uses of materials and design techniques.

It was important to organize the elements of the Garden to promote a healthy lifestyle and act as a agent for sustainability. A large Production zone to take advantage of the bountiful Sun allows for comfortable planting for everyone. An ordered Learning zone in the quieter end of the Garden creates a controlled learning enviornment. The Celebration zones areto take in the atmosphere and relax. The Waste Recovery zones complete the cycle and encourage reuse.

The Boulder City Community Garden is a community driven project to create a neighborhood centric park. The Garden is located in the northeast corner of the Historic District in Boulder City, Nevada.

To help maintain the identiy of the Historic District, the design makes sure to invovle the community in many of its programming elemnents.

Taking advantage of the existing site layout, the production of the garden is maximized by the addition of 31 Fruit Trees and a Food Forest.

The landscape slopes to the North to the parking lot allowing for the opportunity to provide a terraced planting to reflect the site’s surrounding outcropping.

The plan sits around the existing sculpture park and dilapidated water filtration plant. The design proposes a cohesive interaction throughout the entire site by making it so that future endeavors like farmer markets, community run cafes, and small scale events and gatherings become part of the neighborhood fabric.

Site Location Early Schematic Designs

Public programming like the film museum and library help create a hub that could lead to futher development along the Harmon Corridor.

Private studio and film development is availabe to third-party production teams in the Eastern studios. Along with ample parking for trailers, the accomodations for production teams are high priority.

The UNLV Film Institute creates a unique interaction between the Strip and the University. Located on Harmon Avenue, the Film Institute displaces the intermural field to reach for the attention of the tourist audience.

Students sit inbetween and blend the public and private spaces. Proximity to the library and professional studios help students grow.

The project connects with the rest of the campus with a covered walkway.This corridor acts as a lifeline for future university developments.

This unique pathway captures the breath taking views of the landscape and allows users to see the valley with a new perspective. A viewing platform sits atop the ridge looking out to the Vegas Valley. A shade structure is set midway with spaces for seating, hydration stations, and restrooms. The new trail should allow for more funtionality and welcoming experience for new users.

Spaces that act as purely transitional spaces leave out the opportunity to interact and generate conversation. Spaces that help foster growth and become part of the learning experience should be fundamental do university planning and design.

An overlooked site at UNLV, this corridor feeds the popular Alumni Walk and is a frequent drop off point for UNLV Shuttle Bus and other vehicles. As a high traffic, high transient corridor, the site can be activated and become a

Nationally, public transit

funding topped the 13 billion dollar mark. Nevada

spent a total of 48 million on public transit. A national

comparison shows majority of states using busing as

the main means of publictransit. Las Vegas scores

low on monthly savings in comparison nationally to

other U.S. cities where public transit is used.

Las Vegas ridership topped 4.3 million.

More people drivea vehicle in 89030

than in 89101. However more people own a

vehicle in 89101 then 89030. Owner-occupied

household in 89101 and 89030 have a similar

ratio of vehicle ownerscompared to

non-vehicle owners. However, among

renter-occupied household that own a

vehicle, the households in 89030, own nearly

3 times more vehicles than those in 89101.

89101 Elderly Care Facilities

Best Care Facility 1 (18 Rooms)

In the zip code 89101, there are 13,463 people who are age 50+ with only one facility that can cater to only 18 elderly people. In the 89030 zip code, there are 9,313 people that are age 50+ that also has only one facility, but it is able to house 24 elderly people. However, both facilities specialize in nursing and extended medical care, but lack recreational opportunities. From the baby boomers born in 1946-1964, the number of retirees will reach over 7 million by 2028, the largest increase of retirees in history.

At National and State level, Whites are the

majority race that makes up most of the

population in the US.However, when looking

at zip code 89101 and 89030, Hispanic are the

majority race that makes up the population in

these areas.

From a national

standpoint to the zip code level, our two zip codes

dwell in a diverse cross section of our country. The total population of both 89030

and 89101 show that they are not the most populous or most desolate in the area. Statewide,

Nevada is heavily concentrated within its southern tip at Clark County. The collective cities in Clark County yield about

70% of Nevada’s population. Nevada is growing steadily and can see a positive boom, if action is done to prove the area is a fit place to live. The nation itself

has been fairly consistent according to data received from the Census. Because of its size and lack of density, as compared to other

states, Nevada fails to compete in population density. Nevada dropped four places from last year in

millionaires per capita.

Throughout the complete research of

housing types by units there is a clear trend; there are more people living

in one unit homes with a detached garage. This trend overall make it hard for places to

become more public transit orientated because of way these units are arranged

and spaced apart. When comparing 89101 and 89030, there is a

considerable difference in the number of one housing units with

a detached garage. In addition, there is a higher

amount of families living in the 89030; indicating that there

are more children living in single family homes in the

89030 then 89101.

89030 has 45.5% of populationemployed and 43% retired. Of its

14,019 households, North Las Vegas has 11,028 households

containing children.

In 89101, 41.9% of the citizens are employed and

44.9% are retired. Of the 15,208 households,

9,560 households with children.

The state average lifespan of ~75 years is slightly higher

than national average.

The average lifespan in the US is ~78.2 years in

2000 up from 1900’s ~47. The national population

requires a fertility rate of 3 children.

From the pri-mary benchmarking

indicators Las Vegas ranks in the top 1/3 cities with funding, but in the bottom 1/3 for mode share and education. The percentage of high

school and college graduates between the zip codes are relatively close. The per-

centage of high school and college degrees differs by one percent in

each category. Both are below the national and state averages. The

lack of public educational facili-ties in the regions could possibly

be a contributing factor in the low graduation rates amongst

high school and college graduates.

The Downtown Las Vegas Redevelopment Plan intends to leave an impact on the future development of Las Vegas.

The design team developed this plan building upon the research on previous semesters. Collaboration is a key factor in the design. Twelve areas of study were employed to make the most impartial descisions going forward.

Using the data collected, the research breaks down the actions this project can achieve.

The Redevelopment Plan looks to create a bicycle network that uses existing infrastructure to connect Las Vegas’ vehicular infrastructure and future developments that hope to create a sustainable future for residents.

- Since there is a high population of retirees in the 89101 and a high population of children in 89030, opportunities for alternate transportation should be increased.

- This provides the high population with better mobility.

- Nationally, people between the ages of 16-65 bike along protected routes. - 5.8% of total traffic fatalities involve bicyclists.

- 14% of those fatalities are people under the age of 16.

- Increasing mobility creates the opportunity to develop safer routes, such as cycle tracks.

- The cycle track can connect to nearby amenities and provide safe school routes.

- Zone 1 has about $20,000 in additional income than Zone 2 and Zone 3.

- A difference of income can bring a consumer base from Zone 1 to the commercial areas in Zone 3.

Data to Map AnalysisAfter analyzing the data we can see that Zone 1 consists primarily of family residences and has the highest household income. Zone 2 median range of ages are from 25-42 years of age. Zone 3 has the highest amount of retail space.

Due to high amount of spending within Zone 1 and the large amount of retail space in Zone 3 there may be an opportunity to connect the two zones to increase the possible income of Zone 3.

Due to the various age differences within each of the three zones there could be possible opportunities to connect the various amenities, such as the historic sites, casinos, and local parks to correspond with those ages.

Fifth Street School could be a potential spot for a bike share point.

Neighborhoods are enclosed and cut off from adjacent vehicular roads.

The Arts District brings in a variety of people each month. This has the opportunity to get the word out on cycling and its advantages.

Cashman Field could be accessible through further development of bike infrastructure, along with expanding the existing park.

Lack of trail connections to North Las Vegas could pose a problem by limiting ridership and participation.

What we learned from researching the opportunities and constraints was that there are far more opportunities than constraints. This gives us the chance to really explore what we can do to connect Las Vegas and draw in not only new riders but possible new walkers into the downtown area.

Nearby schools could implement bike education and bike share programs for students, teachers and parents. There is also the chance to implement a Safe Routes to School program which could promote ridership.

A

Adding more bike infrastructure can connect the Fremont Street Experience and the nearby Arts District. It could bring in more people from the surrounding Downtown areas.

The Pioneer Trail does not connect to the bike lanes in the downtown area.

Zappos.com could stimulate growth by bringing new jobs and a new age group. There could be a demand for alternative forms of transportation, this could start incentives for businesses with the most riders.

F

The two historical buildings are located next to the Pioneer Trail, this has the ability to draw riders from the Summerlin area.

G

This important juncture would benefit from possible bike share points. These would provide riders with rest rooms, inflation stations and seating.

H

Open lots on Las Vegas Blvd. can provide additional open spaces by utilizing bike infrastructure.

The population that is in zip code 89030 is 53,794 people.

The zip code 89101 has a population of 52,628 people.

With these numbers there may be a potential need for additional open spaces.

Education will be an important factor for K-12 schools.

The Safe Routes to Schools program in which Nevada has 37 participating schools.

There are 40 schools between both zip codes.

Bike incentives for kids who ride to school. School events to promote and advocate biking.

Alternate means of transportation to lower traffic congestion.

Better connection between North Las Vegas and Downtown Las Vegas with new infrastructure.

Need for additonal open spaces due to growing population in both zip codes.

Implementation of bike programs and education along with incentives for students.

With vehicle usage in both zip codes higher than 75%, implementing safer walking paths or a bike share system could decrease street traffic.

Replacing a parking space for a free bike corral could be a business incentive to promote ridership and increase business.

The points of interest identified above are located within a quarter to a half of a mile of each other, allowing easy travel distances for pedestrians and cyclists to get from one site to the next. The points of interest are categorized into 4 zones connecting to districts including the Cultural Corridor Coalition, Fremont Street Experience and the Arts District.

The Cultural Corridor consists of several cultural and historic sites including Cashman Center, Las Vegas Library, Las Vegas Shakespeare Company, Lied Discovery Children’s Museum, The Neon Museum, Las Vegas Natural History Museum, and The Old Mormon Fort.

The future Zappos.com campus will be located at the former Las Vegas City Hall and is positioned to be the catalyst for redevelopment in the

downtown area of Las Vegas. Zappos is projected to add over one thousand jobs downtown and may contribute to the need for additional retail and entertainment venues.

Fremont Street Experience is a major zone as it brings a large portion of visitors to downtown providing various locations of restaurants and casino entertainment.

The Arts District represents an area of downtownLas Vegas. The Arts District hosts First Friday, an event that takes place on the first friday of each month. This event offers entertainment, food, art galleries and special events focusing on engaging the Las Vegas’ community.

There are over 20 bus routes that pass through the City of North Las Vegas and the City of Las Vegas. A few of these routes lead to the Las Vegas Strip and areas of the Vegas Valley. The possible expansion of the existing bus routes could allow for improved connections between the points of interest, historical sites and bike routes providing less need for vehicular transportation. There is also considerably more bus stops and bus routes in downtown Las Vegas, than in the City of North Las Vegas. For example, creating identifiable connections from the existing bus stops along Washington Ave. to the Pioneer Trial extending outward to the Bonanza Trail and Summerlin areas.

- The addition of bike facilities to further connect the residents of North Las Vegas and students from the surrounding schools to the Cultural Corridor, Arts District, and other points of interest within Downtown Las Vegas.

- The cost of building a mile of 4 freeway lanes in an urban area can range from 4.9 million to 19.5 million dollars. The cost of a mile of cycle track is around 100,000 dollars and a mile of bike lane is between 5,000 and 50,000.

- In Portland, Oregon the money that would have been spent on one mile of freeway was used to build their entire bicycle network.

- In Copenhagen the addition of a cycle track decreased vehicular traffic between 9% and 10% while increasing bike traffic on the cycle track by 18% to 20%.

Redevelopment is planned to increase density in North Las Vegas which depends on economic conditions.

Higher density levels indicate a decline in vehicle ownership.

Nationally, 8.43% of people don’t own vehicle where density per square mile ranges from 4,000-10,000 people and around 25% of people don’t own vehicle where density per square mile is over 10,000. (N.H.S.T. Report)

68% of housing in 89101 is medium or high density residential units.

The city of North Las Vegas is planning additional medium and high density residential units in 89030.

As density increases, the city will need additional transportation alternatives to reduce the strain on roadways.

Zoning

The zoning map shows two commercial districts in both the City of Las Vegas and City of North Las Vegas around the area of their respective city hall. In North Las Vegas there are several areas zoned for redevelopment including additional commercial space, expansion of the casino corridor, and additional medium to high density residential areas. This means more people living in or near these redevelopment areas and expansion of existing infrastructure, to support a more dense residential population. The link between the redevelopment of these two cities is along Las Vegas Blvd., where the map shows public land, which includes the area around Cashman Field. The majority of the residential housing surrounding this commercial corridor are single families with areas of medium to high density. There are more existing areas of medium to high density housings in the downtown area of the City of Las Vegas, but the City of North Las Vegas zoning map appears to show plans for more zones of medium to high density residential.

From Eastern Route

Using added bike lanes and signage, I would make my way down Sahara Ave. until I reached the paved Flamingo-Arroyo Trail. I would take the trail until Boulder Highway, and then leave the trail and use the existing bike lanes to the Express stop on Dalhart St. I could also stop at Sahara Ave. and Boulder Highway and take either the Boulder Highway Express or the Henderson and Downtown Express. My bike would be stowed in the racks at the rear of the bus and I would ride the Express to the BTC.

From Eastern Route

Using the added bike lanes along Sloan Ln. and completed future trails along the Las Vegas wash I would make my way from the Flamingo-Arroyo Sloan Trailhead heading north, until I reached Washington Ave. I would then get on the proposed cycle track and head west up Washington Ave. until I reached the Cultural Corridor or was able to connect with the Pioneer trail. This new route would enable me as a biker to cross the entire city from east to west along a protected path.

From Charleston Route

I would take the 206 Charleston bus, from Charleston Blvd. and Eastern Ave., heading west until I got off at Maryland Pkwy. From Maryland Pkwy, I would then head north until I get to Bonneville Ave. From there, I head north west to the BTC using the bicycle lanes that are provided.

From Southwest Las Vegas AreaTraveling from Town Center Dr. and Sahara Ave., I would take the shared road west around the 215 beltway to Tropicana. I would then continue east on Tropicana Ave. turning south on Durango Dr. I travel to Hacienda heading east behind Spanish Trails, and by extending Hacienda’s Bike path to Las Vegas Blvd. I would be able to take the 201 bus route to Bonneville Ave. and cycle west to the BTC. An alternate route would be the 202 bus route on Flamingo Rd., traveling to the Las Vegas Blvd. 201 bus route.

From UNLV Campus

From my dormitory at UNLV, I would proceed to ride my bike across the campus to the bus stop at Maryland Pkwy. and University Rd. Once there I would ride the 109 bus route to the BTC.

From Blue Diamond/Decatur

Riding my bike east on Blue Diamond Rd. I head toward Decatur St. I would then board the 103 Bus Transit traveling north until I arrive at Charleston Blvd. and Decatur Blvd. I would then head east and take the 206 Bus Transit passing the Univ. of NV. School of Medicine, School of Mountain Height Montessori of Rancho and Chareleston Blvd. I then depart on Main St. and Chareleston Blvd. riding my bicycle north on Casino Center Blvd’s bike lane to the BTC.

From Anthem Hills Area

I live at the Sunridge Apartments on the corner of Eastern Ave. and Sunridge Pkwy and plan on meeting some friends at the Beats Coffeehouse for lunch in Downtown Las Vegas. The 110 bus route ends at West Horizon Ridge Pkwy so I have to either walk or ride my bike a mile down Eastern. When I get on the 110 bus I head North until I reached Charleston Ave. where I get off the 110 bus and onto the Boulder Highway Express which will take me to the BTC. From there I can ride my bike to my destination.

From CSN Henderson Route

I am a student at CSN Henderson and car pool to my classes. I want to attend a lecture that is being held at the Historic Fifth Street School. In order to get there I must take the Henderson Express toward the BTC. When I reach the BTC I will need to walk or ride my bike 0.3 miles to the school. Since there are dedicated bike lanes in Downtown Las Vegas I feel more comfortable riding my bike and it would get me there faster. No matter how I chose to get to the Historic Fifth Street School I would need to head east down Bonneville Ave. until I got to 4th St. and then head north up 4th St. until the next intersection.

I can then reach the BTC by traveling on the 215 bus route.Once the trail bridge is completed in 2013, I will be able to ride my bike along the Las Vegas Wash Trail to Gowan Rd. and Pecos Rd. Then head south till I hit the proposed cycle track on Washington Ave. turning west, and then heading south on the proposed bike lane on Las Vegas Blvd. Thus connecting me to the current bike lanes reaching the BTC.

Radiant Park is an urban park designed to excite and entertain all users of the Las Vegas Strip. Radiant Park, at 30 acres, pulls together many programming elements that give users the chance to escape the busy casino floor for something more natural.

Research into the history of the Strip was made so that the park can remain timeless for future generations.

The adaptive nature of the programming allows for functionality even in the hottest months. The mass plantings and large lawns help cool the neighboring paving. Tourists walking in the height of Summer will find sanctuary and entertainment free of distractions.

Radiant Park is sign of things to come. With the experimental nature of Las Vegas, new concepts with always find a place on The Strip.
