This week wraps up our studio’s work on the Greenline. Over the course of the semester, four groups within our studio have iterated upon their assigned segments of the Greenline trail. Across the segments, design goals included incorporating green infrastructure, creating spaces for children and families, livability, safety, celebrating neighborhoods, and many more.

This week we finalized our designs and presented them at Final Reviews to reviewers Vince Bryant, Erik Wullschleger, Brent Sells, Steve Rhoades, Steve McDowell, Mark Horne, and Jared Campbell on Wednesday. Each segment team has been fully diving into the character of the Greenline in each individual segment and understanding the plausibility of the implementation of the trail. After a semester of learning the ins and outs of Kansas City, meeting with community members, and exploring various ideas, we shared our final insights with excitement for the future of the Greenline. During reviews, it was highlighted that our community is eager for the Greenline to be finalized and has shown immense excitement in this process.

We look forward to hearing from the community one last time during our exhibit opening and we are excited to see the work that continues to be done on the Greenline!
