Through conversations with community members and personal observation, it was discovered that aging in place was a concern for residents living in Prospect Park, a neighborhood located east of the University. The area’s steep topography and uneven surfaces presented a challenge to senior mobility and independence.

Connecting existing community amenities, gardens, and parks throughout this historic neighborhood, the route includes a heated rubber sidewalk, railings, benches, and lighting as well as redevelopment in a few key locations.
