1 canopyavenue
The first intervention is an avenue, created by trees and permanent canopies, that runs in between the MARC train tracks and the B&O Warehouse. The new pathway replaces 1,320 square feet of parking. The canopies are multifunctional - on a daily basis canopies serve as a shaded seating area or on certain times of the day or year vendors utilize half of the covered sidewalk to sell food and merchandise.

The fitness center is the architectural hub of the Stadium Area Health + Leisure Walk. It is a fitness center for the nearby neighborhoods, such as Ridgley’s Delight as well as the commuters who park in Stadium Area on their way to work. All aspects of the program are focused on health and fitness: the cafe serves fresh and local foods, the retail shop sells exer-cise equipment and local sports teams’ memorabilia.

3 picnicwater collection
Along West Lee Street in Stadium Area, combines a picnic area and stormwater garden that would capture and clean runoff from the adja-cent parking area while also preventing polluted runoff from entering the water system. The phytoremediation medians act as a barrier to sepa-rate the picnic area and storm water garden from the rest of the parking lot. On game Days, the picnic area can be used for tailgating while on non-game days the community and nearby workers can enjoy this space for leisure or on a lunch break.
