The site I chose is my neighborhood. I live in the mid-city, Los Angeles. The major street crossing (San Vicente blvd. and Wilshire blvd.) is just a half block away and creating massive traffic due to metro line construction.
Transformation:
I locate between the two new metro stations city of Los Angeles is building. These major constructions are causing massive inconvenience (dust, noise, road blockage).
Traffic:
I live a half block away from the major intersection normally creates lots of traffic and gets intense during the LA commute time. The transformation is contributing to produce MASSIVE traffic majority of the day. (7:30am to 8:00pm) .
Education
A Montessori school locates across from my apartment building. I hear kids’ high pitch screaming voice from my during the week.
Community
Numerous shops (cafes, restaurants, small goods store, clothing stores) lines up on the street attracting locals on the weekdays and bridge and tunnel on the weekends.
Toxin
About a mile east of me, there’s are a spot always releasing the foul smells. I have heard its a smell of sulfa which is coming from the tar pits across from the street. If that is true, I do not understand why tar pits itself doesn’t smell like sulfa.
