BEFORE
Image of site in its current form. Perspective at the corner of E Pike St. and Broadway.
While gas stations provide a imperative resource, this gas station provides little necesscity as there are four gas stations all
within less than a mile of this site. Additionally, the food mart of this Shell station is directly across from the QFC grocery
store creating a redundant amenity. In a location as central and as pedestrian friendly as the intersection of E. Pike and
Broadway, there is an opportunity to use this space in a way that values the street life, and promotes walkbility and safety.
