Week One Outside Lab

This week, we finalized our Chestnut Street pedestrian walkway idea. We decided, based on surveys and other data, that the best place for the bridge would be through the middle of Chestnut Street between 32nd and 33rd Streets. It will connect the Korman Quad area with the Handschumacher and Creese Student Center area.

The data we used to come up with this decision were:

• surveys taken from students on Drexel's campus → students were asked which location of the bridge they preferred
• analyses of traffic and pedestrian patterns → the number of cars passing and students crossing were measured

A side view of the bridge was drafted (Figure 1):

The Design Proposal for our project is in the process of being completed.
