Editor's Notes
- Introductory Slide:
- The Problem: Why it’s referred to as the Pit of Despair. Brief history of how this incredible piece of downtown property has remained vacant for over a decade. The either/or false choice.
- The hours, # of meetings, and why they volunteered. We estimate a combined 1,000 hours have been spent by the advisory team, and at least another 1,000 hours on part of the Asheville Design Center and their volunteers.
- Step 1: Tell them what you’re going to tell them. What will our report contain. Our recommendation will articulate Function, Circulation, and Experience. Vision vs. design. Council unanimously approves this process. What does success look like?
- Timeline from Council creation of AT, PPS involvement, input, short term uses, now… anything inbetween?
- How did we reach out to the public? What did they have to say? Project for Public Spaces in May, One West Pack Square, LEAF downtown. 600 sticky notes. Over 1,000 activity preferences survey responses. All of this input will be attached and published as an appendix to our report to council.
- How did we reach out to the public? What did they have to say?
- How did we reach out to the public? What did they have to say?
- Articulate goals: Maybe a map highlighting the pedestrian/vehicular hot spots surrounding and cutting through the site? Not necessarily solutions, but highlighting the trouble areas?
- The team set out to understand the property, it’s constraints and opportunities. What makes a place successful?
- Introduce the 17 Benefits identified by the team.
- Council on the 28th. Temporary installations recap. More opportunity for input when a designer takes this vision and begins their work.
