Site context

The site is a critical transit-adjacent edge. Positioned as a vital gateway for commuters, this "green and blue" infrastructure edge currently functions as a neglected boundary rather than a functional public realm.

Issues

• Significant lack of safe pedestrian infrastructure at a high-volume railway station access point, leading to hazardous movement. • Unmanaged vegetation and poor maintenance have turned this blue-green edge into a negative space prone to illegal dumping and reduced visibility.

Priority Interventions

Transform this transit node into a safe, illuminated pedestrian corridor with nature-based solutions. Interventions include structured walkways and seating that turn a neglected railway edge into a dignified commuter gateway.
