D6 | Sculpting the East Falls Train Station

The East Falls Train Station is a connection point between the people of East Falls and Center City, Philadelphia. The station lacks essential needs for the travellers such as accessability. By carving into the site, the station has a direct entrance from Midvale Ave as well as plenty of parjing spaces for drivers and bikers. The station currently has an underground path that serves as a connectuon point but lacks proper lighting and safety. This proposal was created to create a better station not only for commuters and students but it was also made handicap accessible. The design puts the needs of the handicapped community before others and creates a safe station for them.
