The proper programming of public
gathering space provides residents the
opportunity to participate in community
events such as local, cultural festivals
and sports tournaments.
After school programs
focusing on both indoor
and outdoor activities are
the main tools used to
cultivate future leaders.
A friendly, collaborative, and
leanring environment that
connects people to people
and people to nature would
strengthen community links
and merits.
Programs like food trucks not
only preserve and honor the local
cultures, but also consolidate
the idenities of the residents by
providing services that remind
them of their roots.

24. One of our goal is to figure out a better way
of connecting one place to another. Enhancing bike
trails will provide more opportunities for residents
being outdoor to interact with their neighbors and
their surroundings. As well as inspiring them to use
this more sustainable transportion tool, bicycle.
Location
FILL THE BIKE PATH WITH FUN AND WARMTH
Connections will be created between Monte Del
Lago and Castroville Oaks communities. Bike
trail additions and enhancment will provide more
opportunities for residents to enjoy the outdoors
and intract with their neighbors and surroundings.
This will serve as an inspiration for more sustainable
transportion options.

The occasional introduction of food

engaging social environmentas food
and gathering are irreplaceable
components of Latino culture.
When located, the food truck area
could also be used for local social

The bike trail is set in a huge
meadow forested by different
species of hydroseeds, providing
a natural envrionment for nearby
residents who like to bike, jog, and
picnic. This huge space also has
the potential to be converted to
different grounds for better use and
higher density in the future.
