Considering the ‘ground level’ where the Vessel is in phase I is about 15 feet above the road surface of 11th avenue, I would think they would want to build a pedestrian bridge to connect phase I and phase II over 11th avenue. I know pedestrian bridges in urban cores are now considered out of style and bad urban form, but I believe that would really help unite phase I with II and create a cohesive pedestrian environment along the entire campus. I believe however that new pedestrian bridges are banned or require some special approval. I also didn’t see anything on the master plan for this. Does anyone know more about this? I realize the high line will provide circulation between the two nodes but I would think Related would want to connect the phases in a better manner, especially if they plan any retail component for phase II
