CITY & DESIRE
WALKING OR DRIVING?
Probably it is a common issue that mobility is an important role of the city. Mobility is a vein for the City as it activates the city.
So, the early conclusion will tell that the desire of the city itself is to use car everywhere.
S JEFFERSON AVENUE CASE STUDY
Mobility can be achieved through Walking, Driving, Public Transportations and etc, but the site itself should accommodate the runs of transportation such as Street, Main Road, Interstate, and for bigger context is a City Layout itself. In this case, refer to the City Layout of Lebanon. The Layout of the City consists of grids, which is artificial layout for the City. (refer to city grid) The ‘fun fact’ of Lebanon is they don’t have a public transportation. Or probably they have one but it is not official from the City Council. Based on direct observation, there is no indication of Bus Stops, or Bus Way around the City. On the other hand, based on data (n.d ;city-data.com) ‘Modes Of Transportation To Work’ the most preferred mode is ‘driving by car alone’ with the number of 9897 Population (53%) and compared to least preferred mode ‘walk’ which only 293 Population (2%) from the whole Population. (refer to chart)
To analyze this type of behavior, the writer focus on the particular element which is S Jefferson Avenue. The reason why the writer picks this spot is because it is the commercial area for the City. It has most services that the city needed. This street is also considered as the busiest part of the City. It intersects with Route 66/I-44 and as main road to enter the City from Route 66. Thus, one of the unique issue is the area has lots of Car Parks which the writer believes that it has the relation with the desire of the City. (refer to Particular Place)
THE CARPARKS
the Parking Spaces and the footprint of the building is between 65% by 35%, which is quite significant. (refer to Parking Space Map) Within the large Parking Space, I think it is not

really hard to get into the particular building because it can be easily accessed and it has appropriate dimensions. Even though not much people will perform walking to transport to other buildings, but the dimensions of pedestrian walks are still appropriate and easy to access. (refer to street sections)

So, it is clearly described that the large amount of Parking Spaces are to accommodate the most preferred modes of transportation, but in the same way it’s not limiting the people who keen to perform walking to other places.

RELATIONS BETWEEN CARPARKS, BUILDING, STREET, PEOPLE WALKABILITY The relations between the Parking Space, Building, Streets, Pedestrian and The Users itself are about the appropriate walkability. The diagram shows the walkability system between the aspects of the streets.
