- 3. RL introduction2 Hello! My nameis Rebecca and I want to thank you for taking the time to go through this portfolio. I am from a small rural area in southern Indiana called Ogilville, but had other stomping grounds in Columbus, IN. There, I grew up on my dad’s farm with two older brothers. This is where my passions for the environment began. Some of my fondest memories were playing in the woods with my brothers and catching “crawdads” in the creek. Columbus is just a twenty minute drive away and is where I went to school. Living in an architecturally rich city influenced and inspired me to pursue a career in landscape architecture. I knew for a long time I wanted to go to Ball State University to study in their architecture program. I put passion and hard work into everything I do and my interests are deeply rooted in landscape design and environmental stewardship. I hope you enjoy my portfolio work!

- 7. introduction shelbystreet6 Indy Connect iscentral Indiana’s transportation initiative that is about connecting people to people and people to places. Indy Connect is looking to install rapid transit lines throughout the city. Shelby Street is the proposed location of the RED rapid transit line. There are five stations proposed along the corridor. Four of those stations are to be located at the intersections of Prospect St., Raymond St., Troy St., & Hanna St. and one station is proposed at Garfield Park with each varying in size and classification. These stations are classified as a town center station, neighborhood center station, parkside station and a campus station. These stations will provide an opportunity for future development along the street corridor.

Shelby Street has its own distinguishing characteristics that should be used in creating a vibrant and unique corridor design. Some of these include Fountain Square, the cultural trail, Garfield Park, University of Indianapolis, and the history of the area. Incorporating these individual characteristics will make the corridor its own distinctive place that still fits within the context of Indy. Basic stations are designed to provide shelter for 6-10 people and include all common station components. Basic, major, and storefront stations are likely to be installed in the Shelby Street Corridor.

Additional amenities could include: enhanced shelter, interactive map/info kiosk, seating/ leaning rails, landscaping/green infrastructure, public restrooms, bike racks, bike lockers, bike share, car share, advertising, Wi-Fi, café/food, book share, public art, and operators’ facility.
- 9. shelbystreet8 Shelby Street islocated within the Fountain Square District of Indianapolis. Fountain Square is unique & culturally significant to the site. Understanding the culture of this district will be important for the corridor design. Fountain square is an active and lively place with many young artists and entrepreneurs living close by. According to the locals it is “anything but square”. The design should reflect the culture of this district and engage the community. The corridor has a distinct beginning at Fountain square, and a less distinct end at the University of Indianapolis. The design needs to make the University more of a destination on the street than just an element located along the street. The street has different zones including commercial, residential, park or “green”, and industry. The street has many different industries located along the way and is where the commercially significant historic district can be seen. These will create different prototype zones. The Arts Council of Indianapolis’s vision is to engage the public with art by nurturing a culture where artists & organizations thrive. This is an integrated part of Indy and it is important to consider and include throughout the design process, especially with Shelby Street being located within the artistic Fountain Square. Public Art Indianapolis is the city’s public art program and provides opportunities for Indy’s diverse arts & cultural community. This would be great to incorporate into the design, to make Shelby Street an integrated corridor to the rest of Indy. Indianapolis Cultural Trail ends at the beginning of fountain square and provides a huge opportunity for connection to Shelby Street. It would be ideal to create another trail through the site and that would celebrate the culture of this distinct district. inventory & analysis
- 10. shelbystreet9 streets & stations greenways& bike trails ecological corridors industrial commercial special uses There are five future red-line stations located along the corridor. Four of the stations will be located at major intersections of Prospect, Raymond, Troy, & Hanna and there will be one station located at Garfield Park. The Interurban Trail (located off of Madison) & Cultural Trail (ends at Fountain Square) provides an oppurtuunity to connect the Shelby Street corridor to the rest of Indy. There is defined ecological framework that runs through the Shelby Street corridor. Garfield Park, Pogues Run and a stream system are all located within this zone of the street. This is a distinguished zone that is different from the rest of the street. The map shows the industry framework that is occuring through and around the site. In the south half, there is a mix of light and heavy industry. This is the only area that would allow for an expansion in the right away as there is seas of asphalt located infront of the industries. This map show where commercial (pink & red) and where offices (purple) occur. In the south half there is heavy commercial and the other heavier hub of commerical is located in Fountain Square. The map shows are land parcels that have special uses such as schools, universities, churches, and hospitals. The largest special use parcel occurs in the south half of the site, and is the University of Indianapolis.

The street will be designed with: • a 60’ right of way • two lane traffic • 6’ walking path parallel to single family housing • the artist’s trail running parallel to Garfield Park • separation between single family housing & the street, to create a safer environment for children • the sunken gardens will be mimicked parallel to single family, to create unity between the park and the street • a minimum 10’ bioswale for stormwater catchment & treatment, and will also act as a gateway to the park Fountain Square1 The Fountain Square zone is distinguished as small-scale commercial zone, with mixed commercial uses such as unique boutiques and locally owned restaurants. The street will be designed with: • a 60’ right of way • two lane traffic • 6’ walking paths parallel to shops & restaurants • the artist’s trail • separation between pedestrians & car traffic • all new development will allow for a minimum of 4’ and a maximum of 6’ “easement zone, which will provide space for retail to pour into the pedestrian’s realm, creating connections between pedestrians and the shops Garfield Park2

This zone is the only zone that provides an opportunity to expand the right of way and change the structure of the street. This zone differs greatly from the other zones and the goal of the design is to celebrate the industries as well as the culture of Shelby Street. This zone will include a community center, art plazas, and proposed to place live-work buildings to help transition the industry into the single family neighborhood. This framework also proposes some new industries to come and produce art. The street will be designed with: • a 60’ right of way • two lane traffic • 6’ walking path parallel to single family housing • the artist’s trail will run parallel to live-work buildings, infront of the existing industries. along here art will be displayed by local artists through the Arts Council of Indianapolis 3 Industrial Park Section • separation between pedestrian traffic and car traffic • 10’ bioswale for stormwater treatment • Special art lighting fixture gateway between the street and industrial art plazas.

This will be done by creating a study plaza for student to enjoy along the artist’s trail. The street will be designed with: • a 60’ right of way • two lane traffic • 6’ walking path parallel to single family housing • the artist’s trail will run parallel to the study plaza and will connect the university with the other zones in the framework 4 Points of Connection This zone does not have to do with the street design itself, but is an important aspect to the framework. Connectivity in the city is important, and on goal of this framework is to connect Shelby Street to the rest of Indy. To do this, points of connection have been identified. One point of connection is located on Madison Ave., where there is a heavy commercial zone and the interurban trail. The second point of connection is located off of Raymond Street, over I-65 where there is light & heavy industry, as well as some commercial. 5 The Artist’s Trail The Artist’s trail is the glue of the whole framework. It is a constant element in each zone to create connectivity & fluidity in the design. In each zone, characteristics of the trail will remain the same, such as lighting, signage and paving patterns. Design characteristics of the Artist’s trail: • Minimum 10’ wide, with 5’ for pedestrians, and the other 5’ for bicyclists • Features art from local artists and to be connected to the Arts Council of Indianapolis • Connects to the Cultural Trail at Fountain Square and the Interurban Trail on Madison Ave. • Trail is well lit to provide a safe pedestrian corridor • Signage will indicate zone locations, as well as special events or information 6 traffic lane pathway 12’ 6’ traffic lane 12’6’ pathwaystudy plazathe artist’s trail 14’10’ right-of-way 60’
