Promenade Alternate Solutions

Alternate Solution 1

            The first solution I developed for the promenade was two hundred feet long by twenty feet wide.  Entrances to fishing piers were located thirty-five feet from the edges.  Pier entrances are twenty feet wide.  I developed one entrance to the land, located ninety feet from both edges.  The one entrance is twenty feet long.

            To prevent visitors from falling into the water or off of the promenade, railings would be placed everywhere there was not an entrance all around the promenade.  This would prevent small children from falling off, as well as people just not paying attention.  Benches were also placed along the promenade to allow visitors to sit and look at the scenery.  They could also watch family members who are fishing off of the piers.  Benches would be built to accommodate the less active visitors to the promenade.

            Materials would all be eco-friendly.  On this pier, normal wood would be used.  It doesn’t hurt the environment, and it lasts.  The benches will be made from leftover wood from the Chapel.  Since the architect is planning to demolish it, we can use this old wood to recycle and produce less waste from the entire project.  It will also add to the unity of the area.

Alternate Solution 2

            The second solution I developed for the promenade was one hundred feet long by twenty feet wide.  Entrances to fishing piers would be located five feet from each edge.  Pier entrances are twenty feet wide.  The main entrance to the pier is located sixty-five feet from each edge.

            Materials would all be eco-friendly.  On this pier, Trex Deck would be used.  It is an environmentally friendly wood made form recycled materials.  It is safe to use near the water and would last as long as normal wood.  It comes in a variety of colors, but we decided to use a naturally looking shade.  The benches will be made from leftover wood from the Chapel.  Since the architect is planning to demolish it, we can use this old wood to recycle and produce less waste from the entire project.  It will also add to the unity of the area.

Alternate Solution 3

            The third solution I developed for the promenade was one hundred eighty feet long by twenty five feet wide.  Entrances to fishing piers would be located twenty feet from each edge.  Pier entrances are twenty feet wide.  One entrance to the pier from the land is located twenty feet from an edge, and the other is located forty feet from the edge.  Both entrances are thirty feet wide.

            To prevent visitors from falling into the water or off of the promenade, railings would be placed everywhere there was not an entrance all around the promenade.  This would prevent small children from falling off, as well as people just not paying attention.  Benches were also placed along the promenade to allow visitors to sit and look at the scenery.  They could also watch family members who are fishing off of the piers.  Benches would be built to accommodate the less active visitors to the promenade.  Also included in this design were binoculars to look into Atlantic Highlands and Highlands.  Three were placed between the two entrances to the piers.  Two were located only five feet from each pier, and another placed fifty feet from each pier entrance.

Alternate Solution 4

            The fourth solution I developed for the promenade was two hundred feet long by twenty-five feet wide.  Entrances to fishing piers would be located thirty feet from each edge.  Pier entrances are twenty feet wide.  In this plan, three entrances to the land are included.  Two are ten feet in from each end of the promenade.  They are that entire space.  Another is eighty-five feet from the end, and is thirty-five feet long.

            Materials would all be eco-friendly.  Wood would be used.  It is less expensive than other, more environmentally friendly materials, and it would last almost as long.  The benches will be made from leftover wood from the Chapel.  Since the architect is planning to demolish it, we can use this old wood to recycle and produce less waste from the entire project.  It will also add to the unity of the area.
