The third in a series of workshops is centered around Scajaquada Creek, which was buried underground to combat pollution and urban development. Ever since, the creek has been largely forgotten by the residents residing above. In addition, the creek played an important role during The War of 1812 by helping 200 American Riflemen fend off 600 British soldiers looking to sabotage a supply depot in nearby Black Rock, NY.
This studio aimed to resurrect creek’s existence and its historical importance by proposing a trail that runs above its length. Empirical surveys showed that the creek runs below an existing, albeit poorly maintained, trail. Recommendations include upgrades to an existing community garden, wayfinding, and public art along the segment. Ample bike infrastructure is also suggested to connect to the Buffalo Bicycle Masterplan. Recommendations came in the form of a report and Photoshopped images.
