Crossroads

OVERVIEW
Langan developed the conceptual site plan layout for this 100-acre mixed-use commercial/retail site situated at the crossroads of Routes 17 and 280, two of the busiest highways in the region. Nestled along the banks of the Ramapo River, the design concept builds upon an existing circular roadway that surrounds a central pond and reflecting pool at the heart of the site. Vehicular traffic is funneled around a central loop road and then distributed throughout the site by a system of drives that radiate outwards from the center of the site. Traffic calming elements such as stamped concrete paving, planted medians, and tree-lined boulevards create a positive streetscape atmosphere with attractive aesthetic qualities for shoppers and visitors.
