A safe direct accessible route from the garage to the buildings must be provided. Safety should be addressed comprehensively. The design of the Justice Center should not prevent safe and comfortable links between all of the buildings of the Civic Center. Dismay about the West Side access off the 3 rd avenue edge of the Open Space. An elevator is proposed hidden inside a building.
Extraordinary routes ought to be for everyone.
A good example is the bridge that has been designed into the City Hall lobby. Popular sections of the site were those that posted notice of public events and the design presentations where photos of the models along with full narrative were posted. The Civic Center web site was completely redesigned in June of 2000 to increase its user-friendliness. A clean graphic presentation was developed with a clear road map for accessing information, and a tremendous amount of new information was added to the site. All told, the site has had more than 65,000 hits during a 10-month period starting last November.
