Friday Countdown - Campustown Parts

Before I get to the good and excellent things in the Campustown plan, the one thing it still needs is a rec space big enough for baseball / soccer.  And architecture looking forward, rather than backward, but that's for later...

Now, on to the good and excellent stuff:

18.  Residential near Main Gate

17.  A slightly denser node on 6th Street

16.  An axial street (kind of an axial street nerd)

15.  It has a few of the ideas of my first drawing

14.  It’s hand-drawn

13.  The edge along Gigling is greened-up, with maker spaces

12.  It has two roundabouts (roundabouts rule)

11.  It has a Village Green & the streets are defined by buildings, rather than parking lots

10.  The Village Green / commercial / residential cluster will be multi-story

9.  It has multiple neighborhood greens

8.  It was crafted by Seaside citizens

7.  Who didn’t hold back as they made the plan better

6.  There’s a public edge along the CSUMB open space

5.  There’s trees preserved

4.  It makes sense in a regional context

3.  There’s some streets missing their streets (dwellings facing onto “muses”)

2.  The streets are straight, like honest streets are (no lame, suburban curvlinear streets) but they jog here and there to terminate views and reduce speeds

1.  It can be a real, mixed-use and inclusively price-pointed Campustown for Seaside
