These exisTing neTWorks of decaying large-scale TransiT infrasTrucTure pose a significanT conundrum in efforTs To advance alTernaTive models of human movemenT and urban re-developmenT. an alTernaTive To The Wholesale removal and clean-slaTe redevelopmenT of The alaskan Way viaducT exisTs, one Which represenTs a meThodology of urban improvemenT ThaT doesn’T neglecT noTions of The ciTy as an evolving archeology and a layering of builT infrasTrucTure ThaT shapes our inTeracTions WiTh our surroundings and each oTher. by reorienTing The dominanT modes of use and sTrucTures of TransiT, The viaducT Will firmly Tie iTself inTo an emerging layer of seaTTle’s urban fabric.
