DESIGNING LOCAL 1717 DEMONSTRATED EXPERIENCE INSPIRATION & IDEATION CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT IMPLEMENTATION 88 88 the ridges, a former “insane asylum” (now an historic part of Ohio University) that perches over the City of Athens and hocking river is beloved by Athenians as a beautiful and educational point of geographic reference and as the trailhead for paths that top the southwest Athens hills. the intricate ‘in-pointing-arrows’ grillwork pattern from the ridges can easily be translated into a purely Athens crosswalk striping. Crosswalk striping in uptown is an opportunity for creative exploration. in particular, an important opportunity to implement a one-of-a-kind crosswalk pattern is at the ‘Barnes Dance’ crossing at union and Court Streets. here, the pattern can be featured at a large scale that creates a visual pathway for pedestrians. Simpler crossings throughout the city could use a similar large-scale striping design or one that implements the ridges patterns into a traditional zebra stripping pattern where smaller the ridges grillwork shapes combine to create several small grillwork blocks. these blocks would join together to form the zebra rectangles.
