East Park
East Park’s unique features would provide opportunities for wetland ecology education and public art installations, such as berm overlooks accessible from Richmond Avenue. The proposal for East Park also accommodates much of the drive that will extend from Richmond Avenue into the heart of the site to connect to the West Shore Expressway. The park drive will be sensitively designed as a scenic route and be integrated into the landscape. The design team is presently studying two alternative drive alignments, both of which are equally effective in meeting traffic goals. Alignment A travels along the western side of the East Mound, Alignment B parallels Richmond Avenue on the eastern side of the East Mound.
