Site plan diagramming public and private circulation around the alleyway infill site of the CART food cart housing project

SITE: Enhance the energy of the moving room by pulling a diagonal path under the new complex from Chapel Street. Define the park edge with a modified bus stop as an act of enclosing a zone to be serviced by the food tower.
