Public spaces
Within Shepard Station, larger landscaping elements will provide locations for thoughtfully placed art installations. Whether individuals are waiting at transit stops, riding the train, or walking within the station area, they can interact with the art displayed within it.
An event space north of the station for community programming will be framed by raised planters and tree planting. This space also promotes passenger-friendly space to wait in and travel through.
