Comments on: Questions Arise with the Varsity’s Wall http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2010/4106/ Helping imagine a great college town for a great university Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:03:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Victor http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2010/4106/comment-page-1/#comment-188960 Victor Fri, 05 Nov 2010 00:44:39 +0000 http://rethinkcollegepark.net/blog/2010/4106/#comment-188960 The flood plain probably elevated the retail sidewalk and the design makes the best effort to create a streetscape elevated from the street but still street sidewalk. The corner element seems to engage the street and create sorely lacking focal point for this portion of the street.

Compared to the situation across the street from the Varsity, a sad strip mall hidden behind a crappy bar and a McDonald's, this will be like Manhattan. This is not a big deal.

Retail on the ground floor at Starview will be at sidewalk level. Just as clarification — the wall is only a concern in front of the Varsity.
