KEY CONSIDERATIONS: • SITE CONTEXT IS DOMINATED BY PAVEMENT, ROADS, AND PARKING LOTS • SITE IS BORDERED BY WIDE, BUSY ROADS ON TWO SIDES… TREATMENT OF EDGES • TRAFFIC NOISE • TOPOGRAPHIC CHALLENGES: THE SQUARE SLOPES 14’ ALONG COLUMBIA PIKE • THE SQUARE IS BORDERED BY RETAIL ON TWO SIDES. SUCCESS OF THE PUBLIC SQUARE GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH SUCCESS OF RETAIL. VISIBILITY OF THE RETAIL STOREFRONTS FROM THE PUBLIC STREETS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED • PENROSE SQUARE AND ARLINGTON MILL OFFER OUTDOOR EVENT SPACES THAT ARE LARGELY PAVED. PERHAPS VILLAGE CENTER SQUARE COULD OFFER SOMETHING DIFFERENT… ’GREEN OASIS’
