Perform CPTED and Complete Streets Audits on Perry Street and the D&R Canal Towpath

Supplement DVRPC study that was conducted 4 years ago

Improve street design to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists and accessibility for all users

01 Trenton Reconnected: Perry Street And The D&R Canal Towpath Fall 2020 Rutgers University Complete Street Studio Instructor: Charles Brown In this studio class, all 10 classmates were teammed up for a transportation project located in Trenton City, NJ. We are asked to perform Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED), Complete Streets Audits on Perry Street and D&R Canal Towpath. Plus, we were tasked to improve street design to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists and accessibility for all users. I worked in both design team and data/GIS team.

SketchUp Rendering at Intersection of Stockton Street and Perry Street This 3D design is at the intersection of Stockton Street and Perry Street. The design is in alignment with the NACTO guideline graphic. The bike lanes and 2 feet buffer are introduced. Since street width is varying, we make sure that streets follow the similar width and make it 40 feet street (throughout Perry Street), including bike lanes and providing better space for pedestrians to walk. Additional street elements which makes the street complete and safe are: ​ 1. Bollards to reinforce space divisions and safety of the pedestrian users of the street. ​ 2. Extending curb edges near the intersection to reduce turning radii for the cars and in turn slowing them down. ​ 3. The crosswalk was designed in an L shape due to the Trenton Firehouse being to the right in this photo. It would be safer for pedestrians and allow them to be seen better.

Proposed Intersection Design This is our proposed intersection design for Perry Street and the on and off ramp to access Route 1. This design was created specifically for pedestrians and cyclists to provide shorter crossing distances, slow down cars, give more space back to pedestrians and cyclists over the automobile, and improve the safety in the area.

Proposed Intersection Design At the intersection of Perry Street and the towpath, as approach the nighttime, the space is designed to be fully lit, providing the safest conditions possible for residents and visitors.

Connectivity is a major aspect of our plan and this intersection provides a greater sense of place, safety, and accessibility that we are seeking to provide for residents along Perry Street and the towpath.

Wider sidewalks are provided in order to create a shorter crossing distance for pedestrians. The red brick section highlights the pedestrian realm and serves as a larger crosswalk for cyclists and pedestrians to maximize their mobility within this space. Tactical urbanism can be utilized here. For example, a colorful and painted intersection with an interesting design can be created by local artists and community members.

02 Suitability Analysis for Delaware Township, New Jersey Feb 2020 Rutgers University Topics in GIS Class Instructor: Lyna Wiggins In the advanced GIS class, I was tasked to do a suitability analysis for residential development in Delaware Township, NJ. The goal of the analysis is to score the parcels in Delaware Township based on the 3 main goals on the right.Data used is from NJ Geographic Information Network (https://njgin.nj.gov/njgin/#!/)

03 Bus Bulb & Mid-block Crossing in Borough of Bradley Beach, New Jersey Summer 2020 Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center, Rutgers University While being a transportation research assistant at Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center, I independently designed and rendered the bus bulb and mid-block crossing on Market Street, Bradley Beach Borough, New Jersey.

04 Detailed Street Condition Maps for Hackensack and West Orange, New Jersey Summer 2020 Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center, Rutgers University While being a transportation research assistant at Alan M. Voorhees Transportation Center, I independently researched and created the detailed study area map in West Orange Township and City of Hackensack in NJ for a transportation analysis purpose. The map summarized the stops signs, traffic lights and both paved and unpaved crosswalk in the study corridors.

07 Preliminary Research for Xiaguan Project in Nanjing, China Winter 2018, Architecture Intern AREP, Shanghai Office Software: Illustrator and Photoshop`

Site and Its Surroundings

The Xiaguan Project is a transit-oriented commercial development project located at a major subway line interchange in Nanjing‘s Xiaguan district. The complex consists of a lower-level shopping mall and an upper tower of luxury apartments. The total site area is 12 acres. My specific role was to develop the site analysis diagrams.

Analysis of Businesses in the Area

Subway and Railway System Analysis

The Xiaguan area was established during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). As an important wharf, It has enjoyed rich history and commercial culture. The area has been home to several key events in Chinese history, including the Self-strengthening Movement and the Nanjing Crossing Victory. As such, the project design must address the historic relics and cultural significance in order to preserve the continuity of the cultural heritage and support national spirit.

08 Guizhou City Plaza Design Fall 2016 Chongqing University External Space Design Studio Instructor: Congquan Shu In this studio class, each student designed a city plaza in Liupanshui County, Guizhou Province, China. Given the hilly topography of this area, I used the undulating and curved “waves” of topography as major elements in shaping the plan of the city, echoing the ups and downs of the small hills throughout the region. The design aims to incorporate the functions of public leisure, tourist sightseeing, and a children’s playground. The central boulevard in the middle of the plaza facilitates direct access to multiple modes of transportation. The eastern part of the avenue is wide-open space with an interactive waterfront area, while the western part of the avenue is a quieter, more private space with narrow walkways and a dense garden.

09 Neverland Museum Sep-Dec 2015 Chongqing University Model Production Studio Instructor: Kun Fan This studio class was focused specifically on designing and building models. Each student selected the model materials for the specific material needs of their project. I Designed a Neverland Museum for artistic work.

(1) Conceptual Sketch In my sketch, I folded, tilted, and twisted the design elements to polish the subtle streamline of the architecture design.

(2-4) The Model Building Process of Neverland Museum I experimented with a few materials including clay and plaster, in a hope to find the material that best represented the minimalist style of the Neverland Museum.

(5-7) Snapshots of the Site Video Software: Lumion and SketchUp I designed the courtyard in front of the museum (5), including the gate to the museum area(6), and the fountain plaza (7).

11 Civic Engagement Center in Dorchester, Boston Jun-Jul 2017 Harvard Graduate School of Design, Design Discovery Program Instructor: Jeffery Burgess This project was the design of a civic engagement center in Boston’s Dorchester neighborhood. My proposal makes both the inside and outside of the building functional and supports both open, public spaces and quiet, private spaces.

Most of the outward facing, outdoor space is a rooftop garden and plaza, which supports active and passive recreation and general public space and can be accessed from the right side of the building. The indoor, inward facing aspect of the complex supports quieter activities. Multi-functional spaces such as a library, meeting room, yoga room, and playrooms are located on each floor and accessed from a central circulation system.
