The 330 Easement

Share

On the east and west, a 330-foot easement separates the community from its mirrored villages and carries a two-lane, one-way freeway. Breezeways cross it on open bridges, hub to hub over 462 feet at a grade of 1 in 12, with 14.35 feet clear above the road; the on- and off-ramps join at the hubs.

The easement keeps traffic outside the community: the freeway runs one way, clockwise round the square, and never enters it. People cross on breezeway bridges that leave from one hub and land at another, so a walker or rider never meets the road. The ramps join at the hubs, which is where the community meets the freeway. Breezeways, Hubs & the Mirrored Villages covers the villages on the far side.
