The Collaborative produced a “look book” of streetscape and storefront improvements and a to-do list organized by least-cost, medium-cost, and most-cost strategies to reclaim the intersection of 41st and Lancaster as a community hub. Our conceptual design work supported the principles of the Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design program, a multi-disciplinary approach to deterring criminal behavior through environmental design. It provides a step by step strategy to transform this key intersection in a Promise Zone Initiative neighborhood.

An integrated series of improvements can reduce crime and promote economic development.

Even low-cost improvements can enhance the buildings and public spaces surrounding the intersection.
-
This plan shows the full improvement plan in detail.
-
Design precedents provide models for the community.

The conceptual design highlights already-strong storefronts and adds color and rhythm to blank facades.
