Working with Crossroads over the years has been a privilege, and we are especially proud of this latest set of outdoor spaces and pocket parks because of the positive impact on the neighborhood we work in every day.
We designed the courtyard and improvements at the entrance specifically to provide comfort and dignity - with benches, water, a power station, and importantly, screening from the roadways, and concrete planters that both offer greenery and protection from traffic.
The custom fencing is meant to evoke the various paths people take through life - and the literal crossroads people come to in their journey through this place.
These improvements are important because they signal to passerby that the people who are using these spaces belong here - they are not loitering. That ‘sanctioning’ of space is critical to turning around the perception of Broad Street - Reimagining it, as it were - and showing Crossroads’ clients the respect they deserve.
