The Design Trust for Public Space, sponsors of the exhibit Reinventing Grand Army Plaza, have announced the People’s Choice Award for their scheme, "Canopy."

Votes have been tallied and the results are in! A team of four French designers was chosen by exhibit visitors as the winner of the People’s Choice Award for their scheme, "Canopy." This team was also awarded a First Place Prize by the Reinventing Grand Army Plaza Ideas Competition Jury.

"Canopy" proposes a series of pedestrian land bridges that terrace over Flatbush Avenue , which becomes the main north/south vehicle route. Check out images of pedestrians walking over one of these terraces; the roadway is below.

Canopy is currently on view at the Reinventing Grand Army Plaza exhibit, which presents 30 visionary schemes for improving Grand Army Plaza . The last day to see these plans while standing in the heart of Grand Army Plaza is Monday, October 13 – don’t miss this exciting exhibit! The top 30 schemes are also available for viewing online.
