Transit Oriented Market

PROBLEM: Deserted train station intended to be reopened but in need of an additional draw for people to frequent the site.

CONSIDERATIONS: Community in need of improved economy suggests that a market place could help revitalize the town especially since the reopening of the train station will make this site extremely accessible.

SOLUTION: A market place that steps down to the train tracks drawing people up from the train and down from the street simultaneously encouraging the use of public transit.  This design also incorporates much needed parking for a train station in this city setting.
