Paseo Park Community Roadmap Renderings
Current School Block: Most schools along Paseo Park have little to no dedicated outdoor space, with many relying on small, fenced yards or narrow sidewalks. This lack of space limits opportunities for play, outdoor learning, and safe circulation during busy drop-off and pick-up times.
Conceptual School Block: In the future, school blocks within Paseo Park could function as extensions of the schoolyard, and be co-created with that school community, providing space for play, learning, and safe gathering beyond the building footprint. This transformation benefits the broader community by creating a shared, child-friendly environment.
Current Residential Block: Residential blocks along Paseo Park currently struggle with the conflicting demands of being both a linear park and a space for car access, parking, and deliveries. These vehicle-oriented uses undermine the park’s potential as a safe, accessible space for pedestrians, cyclists, and families, highlighting the need to prioritize people over vehicles in this shared public space.
Conceptual Residential Block: These residential blocks will feature more passive, quieter uses—like seating, planting, and informal play— offering a calm contrast to the park’s more active areas. Retractable bollards are one possible way to keep pedestrians safe–city services and other authorized vehicles would have a remote key to lower the bollards, which are typically made of steel and installed in the street, to drive through when needed. The design supports everyday neighborhood life while maintaining a safe, low-conflict environment for all users.
