Park Lane South to Atlantic Avenue
Similar to the North Passage, this zone will provide separate paths for biking and walking within a woodland context to allow visitors to move swiftly through this zone, including planted and fenced buffers at the edges of the former right-of-way to provide privacy for adjacent residences. At the Jamaica Avenue overpass, visitors can look out from the bridge and connect to shopping and other street-level activities.
