HAA narrowed the 14-foot wide traffic lanes, added landscaping and boulevards, and created enhanced transit stops, thus reducing the scale of the road, calming traffic and creating opportunities for an enhanced trail system with better connections through and into campus. Transit stops were expanded and improved using design techniques geared to create a safe, comfortable “place” for the interaction of transit, people and campus. The recently day-lighted Gilkey Creek that runs parallel to Horrigan Drive was brought into the campus, both physically, by creating innovative storm water control solutions that bring the water into campus; and visually, by creating view corridors to the re-vegetated creek. A more pedestrian scaled relationship between the road and adjacent buildings is produced using lighting, landscaping, façade treatments and paving. Campus entrances were expanded and celebrated.
