1. The Riverfront Parkway will feature a new bike lane surrounded by walking paths, native gardens, and a beautiful, programmed social plaza. This will connect to the new, outdoor +15 system where people can head south.
2. The Sky Campus is where the fun begins! An elevated courtyard will provide students and other pedestrians with outdoor games, a library, and seating for studying for just hanging out with friends.
3. The Stephen Ave Connection will create an amazing space in the future. Once Stephen Ave has been extended to the West End, this +15 system will have a grand entrance and bridge over the pedestrian street where the street level and elevated level and mingle.
