Existing thoroughfare through the site to enable access from
both sides of the block. I am thinking about retaining this thoroughfare
through the site as the entrance/exit points for the pods
Although Warmington Street is quite wide compare to other
suburban streets in the precinct, this photos shows the high amounts of
on-street parking, even on a Sunday the day on which this photo was taken. It
is proposed that cars would no longer be allowed access to Warmington Street in
2020.
Public Transport running through Latrobe Street. During my
site analysis, there was a number of people waiting for the bus on both sides
of Latrobe Street, with this bus being the only one that arrive during my time
there (assuming because it was a Sunday).
With the PRT System in place, transit times would be reduced drastically
which would consequently reduce waiting times as well.
The image above shows the type of views the site has access
to given the sloping nature of the site. However, the existing bulk of the
current building their does not take advantage of this.
Even on weekends, the existing site of Paddington Central
remains fairly empty. Most users are coming into the centre for appointments or
to buy groceries and are out of there as quick as they came. The green spaces
in the transit centre will attempt to be a place where people will want to
stay.
