From Lid I-5

Earlier this month five design teams from the Central Hills Triangle Collaborative (CHTC) presented their near-final concepts for lidding I-5 between Madison Street and Thomas Street. Thank you for joining us!

We were excited by the variety of land use concepts (including affordable homes, acres of new parks, new walking and biking connections, and potential commercial development), the quality of the drawings and renderings, and the deep discussions between designers and the audience. The volunteer ideas developed here will possibly influence the significant amount of official study, community discourse, and design work that still lies ahead.
