95t" & NORMANDIE POCKET PARK <br />Meeting Los Angeles County Residents' Needs for Green Space <br />0 <br />e w, <br />A. <br />L. y � � , � r r • �..� ( rY <br />Working in partnership with the Los Angeles Neighborhood Land <br />Trust (LANLT), PlaceWorks provided landscape architectural services <br />including site design, renderings, cost estimating, and community <br />engagement support for the development of a pocket park at the 95th <br />and Normandle site, which is owned by LA County Department of <br />Parks and Recreation (DPR). The small site was identified as a potential <br />park site in a park -poor neighborhood, with the potential of meeting <br />residents' needs for green space and high intensity active use. The <br />PlaceWorks team worked closely with LANLT staff and LA County DPR <br />staff to document the site conditions, analyze constraints, and develop <br />an approach to the site that would meet funder and community needs. <br />Community safety is a high priority for residents. The PlaceWorks team <br />completed a series of sight line analysis and circulation diagramming to <br />determine how to effectively organize the space to maximize clear views <br />through the site and multiple paths of travel to navigate to exit points. <br />PlaceWorks created several hand -drawn renderings of site alternatives <br />which illustrate the spatial relationships between site elements. <br />These hand drawings effectively demonstrated possibilities for the <br />space to community members. PlaceWorks also developed a series of <br />activities that were used during participatory community workshops. <br />These activities solicited feedback on the design elements at the site, <br />planting palettes, equipment selection, and the site name. Funding <br />for the project is currently delayed and the project team will finalize <br />A-68 construction drawings prior to a public bid process <br />Location <br />Westmont Neighborhood, <br />Unincorporated Los Angeles County <br />Size <br />0.25 acres <br />Client <br />Los Angeles Neighborhood Land Trust <br />Date Completed <br />Ongoing <br />Construction Cost <br />Estimate $2.2 million (not yet <br />constructed) <br />Services Provided <br />Park Design Concept Development, <br />Construction Drawings, Cost Estimates <br />Specifications, Utility Coordination <br />Return to Proposal page 1-20 <br />® PLACEWORKS <br />
