03 Kenilworth Avenue Revitalization

Riverdale, MD

Project Brief

Proposed entry into Anacostia River Park from Kenilworth Avenue

Programs used: Photoshop

The community surrounding Kenilworth Avenue in Riverdale, MD is largely underserved. The area is deprived of pedestrian access, safety, green space, community spaces for various demographics, among several other essential elements. Streetscape additions and adjustments will make Kenilworth Avenue a welcoming place for members of the community. Great consideration was given to understanding the people and the history of Riverdale, as well as the impacts of road improvements and expansion, especially in relation to the new Purple Line metro station.

A focus of this particular project is the redesign of open space surrounding a community building called the Elks Lodge, which would be enhanced with pedestrian paths, a space for farmers markets, a performance area, shade, seating, vegetation, among other elements.
