I came a cross another design competition for an urban downtown with a prize of $300 and fairly minimal presentation requirements. The first paragraph of the brief reads:
Downtown Morgantown WV seeks to improve connectivity and multi-modal transportation opportunities, specifically at the downtown Walnut Street Station of West Virginia University’s Personal Rapid Transit (PRT). The city is promoting the integration of a new public space with the existing terminal and a stronger connection between High Street (downtown’s main commercial street) and the riverfront. Two existing structures on the site will be demolished in 2009. This creates a fresh and exciting opportunity to improve downtown Morgantown. This student design competition project strives to resolve existing lack of connectivity, dangerous and problematic intersections, and steep grades in order to develop a connection between the PRT station, pedestrian corridors and multi-use paths along the Monogahela River.
