Greenfield Neighborhood Portal Design |
1. Greenfield Neighborhood Portal Design Project
Welcome to Greenfield's Portal Design Project. The Greenfield Organization and Connect Greenfield are teaming up to address the deteriorated condition of one of Greenfield’s most prominent portals - the "Welcome to Greenfield" sign and landscaped median located on the Greenfield end of the Greenfield Bridge at Beechwood and Ronald Street. The purpose of this survey is to solicit community input as to the desired look and design features of the reconfigured island.
The space was professionally designed in the 1980’s as part of a neighborhood wide PR effort to raise the image and profile of Greenfield and market the neighborhood to passing commuters. Twenty years later, time, weather and passing traffic have taken a toll on the sign and plantings.
In response, a core group of community volunteers have agreed to help lead and facilitate the process by which the triangular median space will be updated and reshaped as a welcoming, sustainable portal for the neighborhood. The following on-line community survey has been developed to begin soliciting community input as to the desired design features to be included in the updated portal. The survey results will be discussed at a community meeting to be convened in late February.
If you have comments or suggestions you’d like to share outside the survey, you can e-mail them to Patrick Hassett at hassettpgh@aol.com.
