Seeking Opportunities - Sidebar Part III

Virginia Museum of Transportation



Another area that deserves much consideration is the East End of the building. Originally the main public and railroad employee entrance to the building. The Second Street/Gainesboro bridge project dramatically altered the sense of place the building enjoyed when the grade crossing @ 2nd St. presented a much different ...perspective.


A "place" needs to re-established on the East end to allow both a strong connection to the Rail Walk and create a sense of place from the bridge.

The place might simply be a much larger, well landscaped plaza with TREES :)
