• Site Analysis: Thorough review of current conditions and historical context both within the square itself and along its periphery, as well as analysis of anticipated impacts & opportunities resulting from proposed development in the vicinity. Site analysis is expected to draw from existing plans and data, historic documentation, observation of current conditions and patterns of use, and engagement with subject matter experts as well as general community members. Particular attention will be paid to verifying, updating, and documenting existing inventories of trees, public art, monuments, memorials, and other improvements. • Design Recommendations: Propose enhancements for public amenities, landscaping, public art, historic interpretation, site circulation, safety, tree canopy management, as well as the expanded public realm (including streets, sidewalks, and right-of-way) along the square’s edges. Design recommendations will include an implementation plan for public improvements within the square and surrounding rights-of-way, as well as recommendations for streetscape requirements and regulations that will promote a more cohesive public realm and inform private redevelopment of properties with frontage along Nash Square. • Programming and Management Plan: Develop a cohesive strategy for accommodating and managing anticipated public use of the square, including formal programs & special events as well as informal gatherings, grassroots/community-based activities, and drop-in play.
