scenario 2: An urban forest of high quality native species takes over the void left after population loss while creating regional ecosystem benefits.​scenario 2:  An urban forest of high quality native species takes over the void left after population loss while creating regional ecosystem benefits.​-An urban forest of high quality native plant species is created in the void left from population loss. -This will suggest to the city, and surrounding areas, plants that can be used and left basically untouched, that will resist looking like the scrub plants left in the current landscape.-Create a native seed bank and street tree “grove” for the county.-Infrastructure is consolidated and residential units (11) from the interior are removed, while the adjacent residential area is improved.  -Rapid Transit stops become “forest” stops with land bridge atmosphere attributed, to remove the “dark corner” feeling created by entering the site under crumbling bridge structures-Stormwater pipes under site can be day lit in forested areas and improved to be areas of retention and treatment (some of Cleveland’s largest and oldest sewer pipes lay under this site)-….must research the contamination on site more, as i assume there is quite a bit, the “park” that was created next to the in-tact public housing unit south of the site was created on a landfill in 1952, and this was previously a heavily industrial area because of the rails-Existing buildings (only 4 warehouses) become urban nature education centers and/or a magnet school based around agriculture (which is, supposedly, a growing trend in the Cleveland area)
