PROJECT BACKGROUND
PROJECT BACKGROUND ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Downtown Lawrence and East Lawrence have historically been a regional hub for arts and culture in the Midwest. Anchored by a strong business district, multiple significant cultural institutions and a rich history in
diverse art practices, these vital communities have long served as a cultural center for Lawrence, Kansas.
The Lawrence Cultural District Task Force was created in April 2, 2013 by the City Commission with Resolution 7021. After unanimous approval by all stakeholders on the Task Force, the Task Force report was accepted
by the City Commission on December 10, 2013.
Among priorities of this report was infrastructure improvement: "We recommend the creation of an appealing pedestrian and bike route connecting Downtown Lawrence with historic East Lawrence and the East
Lawrence Industrial Historical District. Wider, passable walkways that are wheelchair and stroller accessible will be accented with public art, low lighting, benches, trees, banners, and way finding signage. The walkways
will also include bike paths, bike racks, bus stopsan appealing way to walk, bike, and roll daytime and nighttime. Efforts will be made to employ residents and businesses of the Cultural District."
In June, 2014, The Lawrence Arts Center won an ArtPlace America grant to support this Lawrence Cultural District Task Force Goal of a renovated 9th Street connecting Downtown Lawrence and the Warehouse Arts
District (East Lawrence Industrial Historical District). To meet the requirements of the ArtPlace grant, the Lawrence Arts Center and the City of Lawrence agreed to the following: "Revitalize and activate a six block
stretch that connects a warehouse arts area with downtown Lawrence. Multi-modal paths, upgraded amenities, and new models of urban infrastructure will enable local artists to engage their communities and will be
inspired by Lawrence's rich artistic tradition."
In October of 2014, the urban Design Team assembled by el dorado inc was selected to design the project. El dorado is under contract with the City to lead this design with Bartlett & West as Civil and Landscaping
Engineer; Sans faon as Lead Artist; Coen + Partners as Landscape Designer and Dennis Domer as Project Historian.
This project, officially titled East Ninth, is specifically a right-of-way improvement project that includes integrated artworks and new multimodal transportation strategies. As such, the project scope does not include
future redevelopment/rezoning plans for surrounding or adjacent properties. The project goals do not include establishing East 9th Street as a sanctioned entertainment corridor that diminishes the authenticity of
East Lawrences rich, cultural history. Rather, the project seeks to become a vital, public street that sensitively and artfully engages each block from Massachusetts Street to Delaware Street - a cultural asset for East
Lawrence and the City of Lawrence alike.

My life is deeply woven into the life and culture of East Lawrence and especially 9th
Street. Since 1997, I have maintained my studio at 411 East 9th Street. Over the
years it has served and supported many purposes and people in addition to being
the place where I work on my mural designs and prints. The Lawrence Percolator
began in this space in 2006 and used it until it found its current home in 2008. In
addition to the Percolator, it has been venue for many art exhibitions including Art
from the Eastside, Freedom Unbound, and the Red Balloon To-Do. The studio is
also the place where many workshops and meetings have been held to organize
marches and other socially and politically engaged actions. Examples include SOS
(Save Our Schools), 2&3 For the T (in support of our bus system), marches and other
art-infused actions in opposition to the invasion of Iraq , and is currently home to the
Lawrence Field Ofce of the U.S. Department of Arts and Culture.

Early on in the design process, the City of Lawrence provided the

Design Team an invaluable resource: the Citizen Advisory Committee
(CAC). Chaired by current mayor Mike Amyx, the CAC has met on a
monthly basis with the Design Team, offering constructive criticism
and design feedback for issues surrounding public engagement,
property ownership, project logistics, neighborhood concerns and
local business concerns. The composition of the CAC was determined
by a group of City officials with input from the Lawrence Arts Center and
the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association before being approved
by the City Commission. In addition to at-large appointments by the
Mayor, stakeholder groups identified by the City of Lawrence designated
representatives to serve on the CAC to collectively represent a diverse set
of perspectives.

MARGENE SWARTS
Retired - 2013, City of Lawrence, Assistant Director of the Development Services Division in the
Planning and Development Services Department
During my 33 year tenure with the City of Lawrence, my responsibilities included administration of
several federal grant programs the City received for housing, community development, and addressing
homelessness. In particular these were the Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG),
HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG), as well as some
lesser known (and now defunct) programs such as the Rental Rehabilitation Program and the 312
Loan Program. Since the inception of the CDBG program in 1975, the City has received millions of
dollars in grant funds that have been expended throughout the City. In the years I was charged with
administration of the grants, thousands of dollars were spent in the East Lawrence neighborhood
on housing, parks and recreation projects, and infrastructure such as water and sewer lines, street,
and sidewalk improvements. As a result, I am familiar with this neighborhood and know many of the
residents personally.

I'm connected to the East 9th St. project in several ways. First, we own a property, which we have
renovated, at 908 Rhode Island. Second, I've been actively involved with the Lawrence Arts community
-- the LAC, the Spencer, VanGo-- for many years. And third, I'm extremely interested in Downtown
Lawrence, desiring to see it thrive. In that vein, I was the chair of the Downtown Improvement
Committee in 1987-8.

My relationship to the 9th Street Project is connected to The Historic St Luke A.M.E Church. I have
been Pastor for the past 20 years and charged with the responsibility of administering and safeguarding
the Church and physical property at 900 New York St. Our relationship with New York School and the
neighborhood is very special. We respect our neighbors and want to see the best possible outcome.
We are also the Church connected to Langston Hughes.

I am thrilled to contribute to the Citizen Advisory Committee as a representative property owner

development to ensure East Lawrence, the Warehouse Arts District, and further, the City of Lawrence
and Douglas County take full advantage of this extremely unique and exciting opportunity.

My connection to 9th Street runs back four generations. Myself(Christopher William Ogle) being the
fourth generation to live(I live in Poehler Lofts) and work in East Lawrence right off of 9th St. It all
started with my great grandfather, Carson Waldo Ogle, who had a fur shop way back in the 1930's. He
lived at 901 New York St. and had his fur shop behind his house, simply named, Ogle Furs. His son,
Duane Ogle(my grandfather), grew up at 901 New York and attended school across the street at New
York School. My grandfather(Duane Ogle) grew up in that same house throughout his childhood and
I believe into his early 20's. He founded the Lawrence Bus Co. back in 1957 and grew the company
from the ground up for the next 30 years. My grandfather(Duane Ogle) then sold the business to my
father(Christopher Wayne Ogle) in 1987. My father took over as owner/president of Lawrence Bus Co.
and the business continued to grow and prosper, and was able to help the City of Lawrence & Kansas
University, not only with the bus business, but also started the Safe-Ride program, which is a free ride
for college students who had too much to drink. I know Safe-Ride saved many students from driving
home drunk and possibly saved some lives in turn, I know it saved thousands of students from getting
DUI's, that is for sure. My father retired and sold the business in 1999, but retained the real estate, that I
manage to this day.

health, boutique entertainment and vibrant arts creation.

PUBLIC WORKSHOPS ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

An appropriate and sensitive design
for East 9th Street would have been
impossible without extensive public
input. At the commencement
of the project, along with Lead
Artist Sans faon, the Design Team
hosted three public workshops
at New York Elementary School
in the heart of the East Lawrence
Neighborhood. The first workshop
focused on Complete Street
Design and neighborhood
happenings; the second focused
on the role of public art in the
project, and the third focused on
the history of the East Lawrence
Neighborhood. Each workshop
invited dynamic public participation
and a rich exchange between local
stakeholders and the Design Team.

COMMUNITY INPUT
NEIGHBORHOOD WALKS ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Throughout the design process,
design meetings and discussions
were literally held on East 9th Street.
The Design Team, neighborhood
stakeholders, property owners, artists,
and City engineers walked the street
time and time again, sharing stories,
recording data, and listening carefully.
The context of East 9th Street was
established in a nuanced way through
these walks and visits.

ARTIST PARTICIPATION PLAN
ARTISTS PARTICIPATION MODEL //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Throughout an ongoing public engagement process including public workshops, neighborhood walk-abouts and casual gatherings, Lawrencians have shared an abundance of knowledge,
experiences and local history consistently demonstrating individual contributions, dedication and passion about their place. Their collective voice serves as a testament to the pivotal importance
of this project moving forward. The following Artist Participation Model has evolved out of these experiences and the generosity of the people of Lawrence who have taken the time to share years
of lived and learned knowledge about the city and neighborhood they live in.
All commissioned artwork for this project is required to be place specific. The broad context of East 9th Street, its connections with Downtown Lawrence, the East Lawrence neighborhood, and the
Warehouse Arts District, is clearly the subject matter and holds great influence for this Artist Participation Model.
Three plans for artistic and community engagement, identified below, are intended to run in parallel, influencing one another. In addition, these models are intended to inform future commissions
under the leadership of the City of Lawrence Director of Arts and Culture and the Lawrence Cultural Arts Commission and with the hope of continued funding for art of a temporary nature in
Lawrence.
The $368,000 for artists and art supplies and artists support is funded by ArtPlace America and the Lawrence Arts Center Visiting and Resident Artists Fund.
Three models of participation for artists:
NINTH ARTISTS: In a similar vein to a Poet Laureate, up to five artists of different disciplines will be invited over a period of two years to explore, expand, and celebrate the social
> EAST
character of Lawrence through various art media. Artists will be invited to apply through an open call process.
WORKS: Three artists will be asked to collaborate with the Design Team to integrate their work into the infrastructure of 9th Street. The three infrastructure typologies will be:
> INTEGRATED
Gathering, Lighting and Movement. Artists will be invited to apply through an open call process.
> ASSOCIATE ARTISTS: A pool of Lawrence-based artists will be selected to assist Integrated Artist Collaborations, providing access to local resources and assistance with artist concepts.
Information from the citizen participation process collected at each of the workshops, as well as responses and feedback from the walkabouts and other meetings, will be made available to
selected artists to review and inform their research and planning.
Principles:
1. Artists will be chosen on the quality of their approach, ideas and experience.
2. Artists will be selected by a jury.
3. The works have to be new and created specifically for this site and project.
4. The work has to be about Lawrence (in the broadest sense).
5. The works must engage the people of Lawrence artists are asked to involve citizens of the city in a meaningful way throughout each project, so that the
process and the artworks are reflective of the city and the people of Lawrence.
6. Selected artists must be willing to work with the Lead Artist and the Design Team.
7. This Artist Participation Model will adhere to the East Ninth project values statements at all stages.
Selection Process:
Each commission will be reviewed by one Jury. The jury will be comprised of two Arts Professionals, two members of the Design Team (including one of the Lead Artists), a Representative of
the City Parks and Recreation Department, and three members of the Citizen Advisory Committee, who will be chosen by the Committee. The City of Lawrence Director of Arts and Culture will
facilitate the jury sessions. The jury reserves the right not to select any of the submissions and the right to cancel and/or reissue the Calls.

In June, 2014, The Lawrence Arts Center won an ArtPlace America grant to support a renovated 9th Street connecting
Downtown Lawrence and the Warehouse Arts District. With the grant, the Lawrence Arts Center and the City of Lawrence
agreed to do the following: Revitalize and activate a six block stretch that connects a warehouse arts area with downtown
Lawrence. Multi-modal paths, upgraded amenities, and new models of urban infrastructure will enable local artists to engage
their communities and will be inspired by Lawrences rich artistic tradition.
An Urban Design Team assembled by el dorado inc was selected to design the project. El dorado is under contract with the
City to lead this design with Bartlett & West as Civil and Landscaping Engineer; Sans faon as Lead Artist; Coen + Partners as
Landscape Designer, and Dennis Domer as Project Historian.
Selected artists will build relationships with the people of Lawrence and it is expected that this reciprocal exchange will be
integrated as part of the overall concept - a new work to be displayed, presented, or installed publicly. Some iteration of the
works must have a manifestation on East 9th Street.
At a Complete Street Design workshop in Lawrence, three issues were highlighted as an important part of the East 9th
streetscape: Lighting, Public Gathering Places and Movement. These elements are usually seen as a simple part of
the infrastructure; however, this is an opportunity for artists specializing in these fields to respond to the issues, further
developing them in order to create new works relevant to the unique context of East 9th Street and Lawrence.

As part of the East Ninth project Call for Artist process, no less than three Associate Artists will be paired with selected
Commissioned Artists to assist in the process of realizing their work (the three commissions include: Try it Out, East Ninth
Artists and Integrated Art Collaborations). This is an opportunity for those seeking to learn more about the public art
process, gain professional experience and exchange knowledge with other artists. Artists may be involved in a variety of
ways, reflecting the diverse nature of undertaking public art, including, for example: project management, administration or
fabrication.

A singular design solution spanning all blocks of East Ninth Street is not appropriate for this project. During our Complete Street Public Workshop, the Design Team asked workshop participants Whats happening
along East Ninth Street, and later asked what could or should happen in the future. The reported happenings varied a great deal in some cases from one block to the next. Our History Public Workshop, through
stories and research, revealed a continuity of these diverse conditions along East Ninth Street, spanning back to the establishment of East Ninth Street as a small-business commercial and residential corridor
connecting Downtown merchants, working class communities, and an industrial manufacturing district serving the rail line.
Foundational to this project is the necessity for the design of the street and integrated artworks to respond sensitively to its surroundings on a block-by-block basis. While East Ninth will ultimately aspire to be a
distinct and special place unto itself, its urban framework as a street needs to embrace a flexible model that specifically addresses the varying urban conditions it engages. Throughout conversations with the City
and project stakeholders, the desire for all of East Ninth Street to feature a multi-modal connection to the Borroughs Creek Trail System emerged as a common thread for the project -- a symbolic linear park system
that serves to connect a diverse set urban conditions, communities and perspectives.

EAST NINTH COMPLETE STREET
The design process for East Ninth has been an intensive, leveraging municipal and community input for the past 15 months to arrive at a proposed Complete Street design solution that is culturally sensitive
and responsive to Downtown Lawrence and East Lawrence. During the design process, and through many conversations with stakeholders, city engineers, local businesses and a city-appointed Citizen Advisory
Committee, specific themes and objectives came into clear focus. The Design Team allowed these themes to shape the project process and the proposed design solution.
1. LIGHT TOUCH
Throughout the design process, a diverse set of stakeholder groups have communicated a consistent theme: though in need of infrastructure improvements, East 9th Street is already a great place. The Design Team
responded to this feedback during the Concept Design phase by establishing a light touch for the project, seeking opportunities to quietly celebrate what is already special about the the street and the neighborhood.
This approach explores a Complete Street design strategy that, where possible, preserves existing sidewalks and circulation patterns in order to create intimate opportunities to relax and visit within the context of
historic architecture, memorialized trees, and artwork created by neighborhood schoolchildren.
2. AN EAST LAWRENCE COMPLETE STREET
During Public Workshops, many stakeholders and residents expressed a desire to resist formulaic Complete Street design solutions. In response, the Design Team created an Urban Design Framework that identifies a
diverse set of conditions within the urban fabric fronting East 9th Street. The proposed Complete Street design for East Ninth carefully considers each block of the street as a unique condition, allowing the rich variety
of surrounding context to inform the design of the street itself. Multi-model transportation strategies were crafted around a commitment to preserve historic brick sidewalks and maximize parking opportunities and
green space. Working in concert with historic sidewalk alignments, a proposed neighborhood-scaled shared path provides a safe route for family biking outings and wheelchair accessibility, connecting Downtown and
East Lawrence to future linkages to the Burroughs Creek Trail.
3. BALANCED AMENITIES
Successful design for public space involves a careful balance of diverse values, even when these values are, at times, in conflict. Stakeholders surrounding East 9th Street have articulated a strong value for many design
components, including continuous and safe bike circulation, comprehensive ADA accessibility, preservation of existing trees and existing historic sidewalks, maximized parking opportunities, maximized green space
and sustainable design strategies. The proposed Complete Street Design for East Ninth balances these considerations. A proposed share path provides bike safety and ADA accessibility while preserving historic brick
sidewalk circulation and eliminating safety conflicts associated with bike lanes and parallel parking. Minimized street widths allows for more green space within residential blocks and parallel parking locations carefully
consider existing trees and contours within the right of way. Indigenous landscaping and pervious paving stormwater management provide sustainable design strategies that are resource-friendly and
low maintenance.
4. INTEGRATED ART
Made possible by a major Artplace America grant, East Ninth has leveraged art commissions as an integral part of the design process. Through a city-adminstered selection process, three major commissions were
awarded, allowing selected artists and the Design Team to explore and analyze light, movement and gathering along East 9th Street. Through an innovative Associate Artist initiative, the selected artists were given the
opportunity to team with Lawrence based artists and have spent a great deal of time at the site, walking the street and the neighborhood. The result of the this process has yielded proposed installations that are at
once art and infrastructure, a new model of public art that works across disciplines to achieve a fully integrated streetscape design.
42
5. SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE
Designing an environmentally friendly Complete Street has been an important focus for the City of Lawrence. Culturally and geographically, Downtown Lawrence and East Lawrence enjoys a strong and immediate
relationship to the Kansas River. The Design Team quickly identified storm water management as an important consideration for the future health of the rivers ecology. Pervious paving installations at intersections and
at street parking stalls direct stormwater run-off to the root systems of indigenous, low maintenance plantings fronting East 9th Street. Narrowing street widths and balancing vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on
East Ninth Street will, over time, reduce emissions along the corridor and promote a healthier street environment.
During the design process, the Design Team engaged conversations that framed a larger context a context that was, at times, outside the scope and project parameters of East Ninth. The project was influenced by
these considerations and, as a result, the Design Team offers the following recommendations to be considered during the next phases of the project:
1. CONSERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD
During the design process for East Ninth, increasing concerns about future zoning and preservation became a central point of discussion. During these conversations, the East Lawrence Neighborhood Association and
the City of Lawrence specifically explored the implementation of a Conservation Overlay for East Lawrence. The Design Team supports this as a viable and engaging endeavor to preserve the distinct character and
qualities that comprise East Lawrence.
2. PRESERVE AND REUSE HISTORIC INFRASTRUCTURE
Infrastructural upgrades for East Ninth will involve the removal of historic limestone curbs. The Design Team recommends stockpiling these curbs at a safe location for future use. Depending on the condition of the
curbs themselves, The Design Team may propose re-use strategies for these curbs. Historic brick sidewalk pavers will need to be removed to accommodate ADA accessibility on the north side to the street. The
Design Team proposes to re-use the pavers to repair and extend the historic brick sidewalks on the south side of the street
3. SLOW DOWN, BE SAFE
There are currently several intersections along East Ninth that host wide street widths and 2-way stops. The Design Team strongly represents a 4-way stop intersection at East Ninth and Delaware and additionally
recommends all stops along East Ninth to transition to 4-way stops. The Design Team also recommends consideration for narrower street widths, especially through the blocks between Connecticut and Delaware.
Regarding traffic safety signage, the Design Team recommends special and unique consideration for bike caution signage at alley and shared path intersections.
4. INTERWEAVE
East Ninth proposes an indigenous landscaping palette that is fully integrated into a stormwater management plan. As a way to weave sustainable landscaping strategies into the existing urban fabric, the Design
Team recommends a selection of north-south running streets to additionally receive indigenous planting installations (see Landscaping Plan)
5. CONNECT AND CONTINUE
The proposed design for East Ninth creates a strong link for cyclists of all ages, connecting Downtown to Delaware Street. The Design Team recommends the completion of the planned trail link, connecting Delaware
to the Boroughs Creek Trail System. The Design Team also recommends consideration for multi-modal transportation strategies and potential Complete Street design implementation along West 9th Street.

LANDSCAPING PLAN ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Landscaping strategies for East Ninth extend from a native palette and serve as an integral part of sustainable design initiatives for the project.
In collaboration with a local prairie ecologist, the team studied a collection of native prairie plants that will both thrive in urban conditions and establish a deep root system. This addressed the desire to clean
stormwater below-grade, as well as on the surface, and also addressed a desire to minimize the necessity for extensive irrigation systems. Using a palette of perennials and grasses that fit the functional criteria of
stormwater management, the Design Team defined a broad landscape concept for the street that focuses on prairie monocultures.
Linear bands of grasses contain only a single variety within a bed, creating a uniform texture
Bands are layered side-by-side with varying species to create visual interest and seasonal variety
Robust, salt-tolerant Little Bluestem is planted adjacent to the street
Switchgrass is planted adjacent to the sidewalk, providing a softer, wispier texture in the pedestrian zone
Shade grasses and perennials are proposed in the pockets of shade created by existing and proposed trees
Emphasis is placed on native, endemic plants that will thrive in an urban setting
Underground drywells will facilitate deep root growth by plants accustomed to reaching deep to find water.
Strategies are being explored to grow the plants in a distributed way throughout the neighborhood and invite paid installation services from East Lawrence residents.
In order to maintain the simplicity of a new street design, the Design Team has worked to streamline the hardscape material palette, while continuing to reinforce the concept of an innovative Complete Street.
East 9th Street is proposed as a concrete street with bold markings indicating the street is uniformly shared with cyclists
The parallel parking spaces are designed to be paved in a pervious unit-paver with a pervious base, allowing water to infiltrate directly into the paving
The shared-use path and new, proposed sidewalks are designed to be concrete as well, with alternate, integral-color concrete markings at intersections
The existing brick sidewalks and selected existing concrete sidewalks will be repaired in-place and preserved as an historically significant circulation route
Gathering nodes from Turnhalle to the mural on New Jersey Street will be identified by a change in ground material to a compacted crushed granite surface.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Downtown Lawrence and East Lawrence both enjoy a rich historical and cultural relationship to the Kansas River, and both sit in close proximity to the Kaw. The stormwater from East 9th Street is piped directly
from the street to the river. From the onset of the project, the Design Team has focused on stormwater management and stormwater filtration as primary goals for sustainable design.
Rather than starting with broad strokes, the Design Team explored finer-grain solutions to consensus problems. A kit-of-parts was established to address stormwater management from one end of the street to
the other. Each of these solutions is designed to capture point-source pollutants through permeable hardscaping, filter, and directed back to existing hard infrastructure. This strategy results in a slower, cleaner
downstream release while avoiding maintenance issues associated with above grade bioswale inlet systems.
Conceptually, the mechanics and components of the system are proposed as follows:
Existing stormwater infrastructure is substantially preserved, altering only the inlet locations
Each inlet is converted to an overflow drain, rather than a primary collection point
Along the entire length of the street, stormwater is directed to hardscaped areas: either installations of native flagstone or pervious paving (parking zones)
The water is allowed to infiltrate through a high-void aggregate sub-base; it is then directed to the aggregate root zone of adjacent planting zones
Deep-rooted native prairie plants filter the stormwater and water infiltrates back into the ground
Excessive flow is collected with a perforated underdrain and is piped substantially cleaner back to the hard-piped stormwater infrastructure
In the next phase of the project, this collection will be quantified and overflows will be located and sized for appropriate rain events

careful removal and stockpiling of historic limestone curbs, primarily located between New Jersey and Pennsylvania Street.
During the design process, the Design Team discovered that Westar Energy is willing to work with the City of Lawrence to bury utility lines along
East 9th Street at a reduced rate. Placing utility lines underground allows the construction of a shared path that provides ADA accessibility while
preserving historic brick sidewalks and circulation routes on the south side of the street.
STREET PAVEMENT REMOVAL
Selected demolition of the street and sidewalks will be performed within the blocks of Massachusetts/ New Hampshire and Pennsylvania/

Made possible by a major Artplace America grant, an innovative art process has been a core aspect of East Ninth, allowing artists to participate in the urban design process from the onset of the project. Under
the guidance of lead artist Sans faon and the City of Lawrence, a selection committee was assembled and, after a comprehensive interview process, commissioned three Integrated Artists to work with the
Design Team to in fully integrate artwork into the streetscape of East 9th Street. During the selection process, the Citizen Advisory Committee recommended and the Design Team adopted an Associate Artist
program, allowing an opportunity for each Integrated Artist to work with a Lawrence based associate artist to realize their commissions. After repeated visits to the site and conversations with the City of Lawrence and stakeholder groups, these artist teams have worked across disciplines to explore light, movement and gathering as major design considerations for the project. As a result, each Integrated Artist has
proposed an installation that is at once art, utility, and infrastructure. As the project moves forward, these artists will continue their work with the Design Team, stakeholders, and the City of Lawrence to realize
artwork that is fully integrated into the street design of East 9th.

Derek Porter, a practicing lighting designer and artist, is based in New York City and the Hudson River Valley and holds an associate professor faculty position at the Parsons
School of Constructed Environments. His work balances art and science, often deploying technical rigor to reveal poetic aspects of light and darkness. His proposed installation
for East Ninth re-imagines street lighting as slender, almost invisible, yet delightfully site-specific lighting instruments that respond sensitively to surrounding circulation patterns
and urban context. See pages 70-71 for a detailed description of Dereks proposed Integrated Art Commission.
James Woodfill has practiced as a public artist for over 20 years and currently holds an associate professor faculty position with the Kansas City Art Institutes Painting Department. James work in the public realm often reveals art and infrastructure as symbiotic systems that embody overlapping expressions of utility, discovery and beauty. His proposed installation for the project introduces the concept of Crosshatching a conceptual strategy that resists East 9th Street as a linear site, and through discovery-based tactics,
draws nuanced connections between the street and its surrounding context. See pages 72-73 for a detailed description of James proposed Integrated Art Commission.
Jarrett Mellenbruch emphasizes social practice as a public artist and currently holds a lecturer faculty position with the Kansas City Art Institutes Sculpture Department. Jarretts
work in public space is human-centric, often drawing inspiration from how people share space to gather, converse, work, recreate, and relax with one another. His proposed
installation for East Ninth introduces a careful arrangement of large rocks in the right of way as a flexible series of intimate gathering spaces. Taking an reductive and rugged
approach to street furniture, Jarretts spare and elemental installation invites a diverse set of activities, ranging from child-like play to porch-like lounging. See pages 74-75 for a
detailed description of Jarretts proposed Integrated Art Commission.

Lighting has been a central focus for Derek since the onset of his integrated art commission-- specifically, artful lighting that is appropriate for the varying conditions along East 9th Street. Derek started his work
by studying and measuring light levels along the corridor, carefully balancing safety concerns and navigation with an appreciation for a peaceful nighttime darkness that currently exists within the East Lawrence
Neighborhood.
Dereks proposed lighting installation establishes a playful, yet highly controlled, low-level lighting strategy for East 9th Street. His pedestrian-scaled fixtures are slender and tread lightly within the shifting urban
context of East 9th Street. As a departure from typical street lighting, Dereks fixtures are capable of creating a variety of light pools for a diversity of street and sidewalk conditions. As a work of art, a carefully
choreographed sequence of light displays on the sidewalk and surrounding landscape will respond sensitively to the pedestrian experience without emitting light pollution or disturbing nearby residents.

During the early phases of the urban design process, James introduced the idea of cross-hatching as a careful analysis of movement occurring along East 9th Street. Working with closely associate artist John
Sebelius, James has documented movement surrounding the East 9th Corridor through an extensive series of video surveys and animations. His documentation establishes transverse intersections along the corridor,
both streets and alleys, as an important aspect of understanding East 9th Street as a nonlinear site that is deeply connected to Downtown and the East Lawrence neighborhood.
James proposed installation, dispersed across all seven blocks of East 9th Street, deploys a subtle game of discovery that leverages new and existing elements within the neighborhood fabric to promote deeper
and more nuanced relationships with surrounding context. Through the arrangement of directionally and precisely focused light and sound signals, James will introduce a series of sweet spots along East 9th a
convergence of fleeting signals along the street connecting us to other signals mounted on alley utility poles, on nearby buildings, or attached to new and existing infrastructure. His work asks us to look closely and
notice details. As a comprehensive installation, Crosshatching delightfully resists East 9th Street as a linear site that connects Point A to Point B. Rather, James offers intuitive cues that perceptually take us off the
beaten path.

JARRETT MELLENBRUCH ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Jarrett began his work by walking the streets of Downtown Lawrence and East Lawrence, day after day. He was drawn to the way people casually and spontaneously gather, particularly on front stoops and front
porches. His installation utilizes organic elements to create porch-like gathering opportunities within East 9ths right of way in close proximity to St. Luke AME Church, the New York Elementary School, and the small
neighborhood orchard on the north edge of the school yard.
Working with a site on the south side of East 9th between New York Street and New Jersey Street, Jarrett has taken a rugged and reductive approach to street porch furniture. His proposed installation introduces
shade trees and large rocks within a carefully considered space, encouraging meandering circulation patterns and irresistible places to stop, lean against, sit down, lay across, converse, climb, daydream, play and relax.
Jarrett asks us to pick the right rock and make ourselves at home. As the project unfolds, Jarrett will be working with associate artist Kate Dinneen to select rocks from regional sources and have them delivered to
the site and arranged perfectly so.

Engaging East Ninth as an investigation of the unseen connections that result from common gestures that link people together, Zia is interested in the loose ties which link communities. In network theory, it is
suggested that densely connected clusters with strong ties are linked to other dense clusters through looser ties. These weak ties are crucial in connecting us with our larger world. The self is the starting point for
every link and connection that creates ones network, and the generative force behind newly formed, unseen networks.
In his book, Linked, Barabasi observes the construction of networks is the key to understanding the complex world around us. Small changes in the topology, affecting only a few nodes or links can open up
hidden doors, allowing new possibilities to emerge.
In exploring small changes in topology that open hidden doors to new possibilities Zia is intrigued by how individuals make choices/changes that affect the larger network, exploring the concept that new
possibilities take place at the edge where new nodes or links are added or created.
The East 9th St corridor lies at the intersection of residential, commercial and industrial interests of Lawrence. Its interest as a place derives from it being at the edge of all three rather than belonging exclusively
to any of them. Overlapping areas reveal potential for a deeper richness as various elements interact.
Zia plans to explore and highlight the sense of new possibilities at these intersections. Over the next three months, Zia aims to bring the above three themes together to create a metaphor for connection that
not only highlights people, place and the community they live in, but the larger world to which they are linked. Zia is plans to design an event on East 9th Street that invite the residents of Lawrence to explore
these themes with her, in the hopes of creating more awareness of the interconnected lives we share and live.
RACHAEL PERRY
Rachael Perry is a community-based artist whose work infuses art into the public sphere and inspires playful interactions. Exploring issues of class, gender, and race through the development of positive, inclusive
art-making practices, Rachels public art projects encompass a range of mediums including photography, wheatpaste, digital projections and large-scale installations. Rachel cultivates an open approach to
project design, asking questions and creating a framework for participation. Her process includes making contact with a range of local agencies, organizations, neighbors, and community leaders. How can we
best foster diverse narratives and dialogue? What circumstances promote connectedness, happiness, and understanding? How do we transform public space and interaction for the benefit of all? These questions
form the tenets of her public art practice and the beginnings of Rachels process and points of departure for her role as an East Ninth artist.

STEPHEN JOHNSON
Stephen Johnson is fascinated by the overlooked and presumably unremarkable aspects of the East Ninth Street neighborhood which include meandering cracks in sidewalks, the variegated coloring of historic
brick walls, the incongruous architectural details of the individual homes, the vegetation and trees, wires on buildings, the graphic shadows they cast, and the like. All are readily accessible to anyone who looks
carefully at this Lawrence area at various times of day, and during the cycle of the seasons.
Stephen proposes to create a series of drawings and paintings in graphite, pastel, oil, and watercolors based on his visual exploration of East Ninth Street neighborhood. His aim is to inspire the viewer and
future visitors to look at East Ninth Street as well as their own surroundings in a fresh and playful way. In doing so, they will discover for themselves juxtapositions of scale, harmonies of shadows, rhythms, colorful
patterns in surface textures, and joy in the most sombre aspects of a city, by transcending the mundane and unearthing its hidden beauty.
NICK CARSWELL
Nick Carswells project will include music and audio recordings that reflect the sounds and voices of the East Ninth neighborhood, as well as multimedia compositions inspired by these interactions. In the
research and development phase, Carswell explores how the sounds of the neighborhood can intermingle and interact, using the street design and topographical information as a conceptual starting point. One
of the questions Carswell is pursuing is: what does/what can East Ninth sound like?
Over the coming months, project phases will include on-site, in situ, and on the move recordings at various locations along East Ninth. Recording audio in response to the activity of East Ninth, recordings will
make up a catalog of found sounds documenting the sounds, movement and people that inhabit the neighborhood. These explorations will then create the basis for electro-acoustic compositions and sound
design that will cross-germinate future project phases of songwriting and multimedia composition. Over Summer and Fall 2016, Carswell plans to collaborate with local songwriters and performers to create
music that can join these experimental sound sketches and multimedia design, to form a body of work that explores how sound, space and people converge on and around East Ninth.
MEREDITH MOORE
A project led by Wonder Fair art collective, under the auspices of the Secret Order of the Black Diamond, will initiate a temporary art installation and interactive series of events exploring the themes of
communication, esoteric knowledge, and secrecy. At project launch, members of the Secret Order of the Black Diamond and associated artists will open a public branch office location adjacent to East Ninth
Street. For a period of four months, the branch office will serve as a public meeting space for interactive artist-led courses that, taken proper advantage of, will give members of the public the skills and insights
they need to seek and to find the Secret Orders 9th letterbox.
