Downtown Riverfront Specific Area Plan <br />FIGURE 4 -4: VIEW CORRIDORS <br />3rd Ave <br />4th Ave r <br />L <br />5th Ave <br />6th Ave <br />x <br />7th Ave <br />Sth Ave <br />LL <br />VIEW CORRIDORS <br />Visual connection to the riverfront in the form of view <br />corridors is one of the key objectives of the plan. Streets can <br />provide unobstructed view corridors and the proposed street <br />alignments are intended to afford several view corridors to the <br />river. <br />Currently, 4th Avenue already terminates in a framed view <br />between the two EWEB buildings. The new 5th Avenue <br />extension offers a widening vista of the river once one has <br />passed beneath the viaduct. The existing underground utility <br />easements beneath Millrace Lane and Water Lane also offer two <br />new tightly framed views of the river. The recently constructed <br />alignment of Ferry Street where it meets 6th Avenue and Hilyard <br />offers a broad vista of the river and park beyond, as does the <br />new railroad crossing at 8th Avenue. <br />24 ■ Rowell Brokaw Architects <br />
