<br />Pedestrian User Elements <br />As part of the initial design development, the H&H team identified major driving elements to rationalize <br />a successful design: <br />• Visual Anchors - On either side of the pedestrian crossing are entrances to the overpass. Each <br />entrance has a combined, yet distinguished, stair and elevator tower, allowing pedestrians to <br />access the bridge level. These towers act as visual anchors for the fascia’s profile which is formed <br />of undulating fins extended from the main structural spine. The spine is comprised of standard <br />concrete box beams. <br />• Visual Connection - The elevated amphitheater seating overhanging on the east of the bridge will <br />be visually connected to the main crossing by introducing seating along the bridge. Seating areas <br />will also allow a variety of views from the Bridge Park. <br />• Harmony of Design - Once at bridge level, visitors are presented with a unique example <br />harmonious structural design and landscape architecture where exposed transverse concrete ribs <br />extend out to support the foliage. <br />• Maintainability - Glass balustrades will provide the required <br />safety barrier. These glass balustrades will be coated with a <br />hydrophilic film allowing water to shed quicker resulting in less <br />grime accumulation less maintenance efforts. <br /> <br /> <br />Bridge Park Concept Walkway View <br />Glass balustrades will be <br />coated with a hydrophilic <br />film reducing maintenance. <br />D-10
