COMMUNITY
 
Proposed BikeLane SystemBike rental, sales,and storage station:the existing buildingis a former autorepair shop locatedless than 300’ fromthe Hempstead LIRRstation.Roadways should welcome pedestrians andcyclists and offer multiple options for publictransportation. To generate more social space,traffic should operate in only one direction inbusy zones.All vital components of greater Hempstead(parks, preserves, learning institutions) will beaccessible by proposed light rail, and pedestrianand bike lane systems.LIRR

Principal roadways can infiltrate rainwater through the ground, clean it, anddirect it to a recycling facility in the village. To provide shade and seasonal color,native tree species will flank the sides of the roadway.1. Village of Hempstead boundary2. Nassau Community College3. Hofstra University4. Adelphi University5.

The Art of Industry
Charming
1920-1950s
homes inthe Village of Hempstead arein abundance and are perfectlysuitable for a business. Throughrezoning and retrofitting, anunoccupied home can transforminto a business that can servethe community in which it’s partof. The type of business canvary; a locally owned restaurantthat serves seasonal dishesusing only the freshest producefrom a nearby urban farm, amarket, a clothing boutique.Steadily, the sprawlingsuburban landscape willbecome urban as more businessadapt.Many urban cities have an artdistrict/colony or visual andperforming arts institution thatsupports it’s creative dwellers.Most of these zones share acommonality with one another-- unoccupied warehousespace.In the southern region ofthe village’s downtown, justoutside the 1/2 mile radiusboundary, lies vast real estateideal for the future makingsof Hempstead’s very own artdistrict. And, conveniently,there is very little that needs tobe done to move forward sucha district -- as this environmentshouldn’t be hyped, franchisedand overdone. What makes anart district so appealing is theindustrial and unfinished “feel”of the place. With additionto bike lanes and depaving ofportions of the road to makeway for vegetation, the artdistrict can form holistically tothe needs of its artists.
