第11街桥公园，一个模糊的High Line-yelevated parkthat’seternally been in the worksforWashington, D.C.通过接收国家资本计划委员会（NCPC）的绿灯，已经通过了一个占地的河流河流象限的东南象限。好消息是由纽约办公室分享的OMA, one of two firms—the other being Philadelphia-based landscape design studio奥林—behind the design of the programming-packed, 1.45-mile-long recreational park will span the Anacostia River along the revitalized bones of an old 1960s-era车辆桥.
In addition to being granted approval from the NCPC, OMA noted in a press statement that the long-awaited project, which kicked off in earnest in 2014 when the two firms won an international competition calling for a neighborhood-linking public green space in the form of a pedestrian bridge, also received “positive feedback” from the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, and will present the project to the full Commission this coming fall.
“At a time when we are paradoxically isolated from one another but united in a common cause, public spaces that we all share and that benefit health have become more important than ever,” said OMA partner Jason Long. “Our work has focused on creating a new civic space that engages with the Anacostia River and refining the program for the park to ensure it will be a place for everyone in D.C.”
现在建筑计划于2021年开始，这是第11街桥公园已经如此长时间来的关键原因 - 从通常的官僚障碍和筹款活动中出发 - 是与Oma一起工作的大量私人和公共实体数量和奥林（Olin）帮助实现这一首先要做的d.c。承诺。简而言之，在众所周知的厨房里有很多不同但至关重要的厨师。
As OMA details, just some of these project partners, public agencies, and stakeholders include the District Department of Transportation (a key funder), the nonprofitBuilding Bridges Across the River，结构工程公司WRA和DELON HAMPTON以及Anacostia流域社会。
而且由于第11街桥公园，describedby the NCPC in its eight-page report as a place that will “increase community connectivity and create welcoming and vibrant spaces that enhance the user experience and foster civic and local uses,” was designed expressly for the residents of and visitors to Southeast Washington, D.C., community stakeholders have played a major role in how the project has evolved over the past six years.
“This project would not have been possible without the efforts of key stakeholders and the community,” said OMA associate Yusef Ali Dennis. “Their comments and feedback truly shaped the bridge, from its overall design to its specific programs and features. It’s only fitting that a project of this size and importance has required such broad cooperation and collaboration.”
With an eye toward community equity, 11th Street Bridge Park will serve as a pedestrian link between the Navy Yard and the historic Anacostia neighborhood in D.C.’s eighth ward and, as mentioned, will be jam-packed with features including a hammock grove, public plaza, cafe, amphitheater, public art installations, community gardens, play spaces, and river access for additional recreational pursuits.
A somewhatnewly added功能是11,000平方英尺的太阳能动力Exelon Environmental Education Center，当地公用事业公司以同名捐款的500万美元捐款使资产成为可能。截至去年年底，建造桥梁的总估计成本是$74 million. The project is still slated to open in 2023.
