Holly Park Hope VI Project, Phase III

Seattle, Washington

City of Seattle Housing Authority

Lead Consultant

2000-2002

CD+A is the urban design, land use planning, and public participation consultant with a team of consultants led by Solomon E.T.C. working with the Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) on the Holly Park HOPE VI, Phase III project. The 20-plus acre site is located adjacent to a future Sound Transit light rail station in the Rainier Valley. The project includes the master planning and detailed design of the site for approximately 400 units of mixed-income homes and several mixed-use buildings. In the master planning process, CD+A focused on both the design of streets internal to the new development and the design of a pedestrian and business-friendly environment along two arterial roadways adjacent to the site. For the main arterial, CD+A designed a streetscape of wide sidewalks where business activities can spill out onto the street and a double row of street trees where homes face the street. The secondary arterial street bordering the northern edge of the site is designed as a mixed-use main street with wide tree lined sidewalks and on street parking, which is to be complemented by future improvements on the other side of the street. The internal residential streets are designed to have a narrow roadway width with parking on both sides, and other design features that slow traffic, discourage through traffic, and result in streets that are geared toward the pedestrian and an asset to the neighborhood. CD+A will be working with the team to process the SHA project through design review and planning approvals, and into construction. CD+A’s on-going efforts focus on finalizing the design of the street network and a green infrastructure system for the treatment of storm water run-off from the streets surrounding the neighborhood's major park.

In addition, CD+A has worked on the development of a concept plan for the station area surrounding the SHA site. This plan includes a mix of civic and residential uses, as well as a concept for the reconstruction of a Safeway market as an anchor to a mixed-use Town Center. Future development and the introduction of light rail are to be accompanied by pedestrian-oriented public streetscape improvements and new open spaces.
