b'Design Response: The transport infrastructure is replanned to create highly efficient public transport networks. West Station as the multi-transit hub, is located undergrounded. Two light rail lines link critical academic activities. I-90 is to be elevated and Soldiers Field Road is relocated undergrounded to provide easy walkable access to West Station and the riverfront. Moreover, the space along the Charles River is expanded to generate a continuous riverfront promenade.The Green Ring along Seattle Street, Cambridge Street and North Harvard Street becomes the main green corridor. This proposal also integrates water sensitive urban design to mitigate some of the impacts of climate change upon the site. In addition, Beacon Yards is designed as a TOD mixed-use neighbourhood that provides jobs for the innovation economy. Commercial and incubator spaces are planed under the I-90 viaduct and the Seattle Street light rail system will compliment a distinctive and attractive active street frontage and local environment.New light rail link to key universitiesAerial view - new West Station to Allston innovation district Ground floor design of West Station106The West Station Square The retail & incubator space under the I-90The new Harvard Square & Seattle viaduct StreetSection: West Station & I- 90 Highway Section: West Station & I- 90 HighwayMaster of Urban Development & Design 2018-2019Boston 8pt.indd 13 26/11/2019 5:05:32 PM'
