Coolidge Corner

Ok, here's the analysis I did of Coolidge Corner as a retail node surrounded by tight, well connected residential blocks. The 1/4 mile 5 minute walk "pedestrian shed" radius is overlaid, with MBTA stops aligning. Usually the edges of 2 pedestrian sheds would touch, but Brookline is high density and green line stops are more closely spaced in this area.


Major thoroughfares show the transit and major intersection coinciding.


Existing green space shows small residential "pocket parks" outside the 1/4 mile retail core radius. Within the radius, the busy pedestrian oriented streets define the public space.
