Transit Mall Plan
Given Go-Ahead
This Is An Artistes Concept Of Mall Looking; Toward Market House
By JOHN MINTER
Of The Timn Staff
Fayetteville City Council Mon- Council voted 5-1, with Coun-
day approved with slight oilman Milo McBryde, a Hay
modiflcation the design plans for a Street merchant, abstaining.
$3.2 million Hay Street Transit councilman Aaron Johnson, cit- Mall.
ing concerns about the availability of parking, voted against Coun- cilwoman Mildred Evans' motion to approve the mall design.
See MALL, Page 5-A
Fayetteville, N.C., Tuesday, June 15, 1982
THE
FAYETTEVILLE
TIME
MaU
From Page 1-A
The vote was cheered by downtown revitalization propo- nents attending Monday's council meeting.
Council accepted City Manager John Smith's recommendation to alter mall plans to allow traffic to cross the mall at Maxwell and Donaldson Streets, adding addi- tional downtown parking spaces and easing access for delivery vehicles.
Smith said he has received agreement from mall designer Paul K. Lu and federal Urban Mass Transit Administration of- ficials that the alteration will not be seriously detrimental to the mall or affect UMTA's 80 percent mall financing grant.
No auto traffic will be allowed on the mall, which turns the first three blocks of Hay Street into two buses-only travel lanes with widened, tree-lined sidewalks.
Current plans call for tearing down a building at 220 Hay Street and renovation of 230 Hay Street to create a transit plaza providing a pedestrian walkway to Old Street.
A transit information center, other shops and offices fronting onto the plaza would be located in the first floor of 230 Hay Street. Offices and apartments would be located on the second floor of the building.
The transit mall, considered the cornerstone of the city's $30 million downtown revitalization effort, is e.xpected to be completed late next year.
Council also approved a key portion of another revitalization project, the Bow Street extension to Maiden Lane. Council agreed to accept the $128,440 bid of C.C. Mangum Co., Inc. of Raleigh for construction of a 100-foot bridge on the extension. Bids will be opened July 6 for the remaining portion of the Bow Street project.
The Bow Street extension will complete a traffic plan funneling auto traffic around Hay Street along Bow Street-Maiden Lane on the north and Franklin Street on the south.
The mall project received a boost also from Dorothy Kitchen, who donated brick salvaged when the former county courthouse torn down following a 1956 fire which severely burned the structure. That courthouse was built in 1890 at the northwest corner of Gillespie and Russell Streets.
Mrs. Kitchen has been keeping the brick and other portions of the structure, - such as steps, at her Dunn Road residence. She made the donation at the urging of Betty Goodenough, a mall supporter.
The federal Urban Mass Transit Administration is expected to grant $2.3 million, or 80 percent of cost, for the mall project. The balance of its cost is to be funded equally by state and local gov- ernments. City funds will come from the Special Tax District Reserve Fund established to fund revitalization projects.
FAYETTEVILLE TRANSIT MALL
FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROUNA
Hay Street, a once narrow-sldewalked, automobile dominated, main street was transformed into a generous people-oriented mall with wide sidewalks creating a pedestrian amenity zone (or shade trees, lighting, seating, informational kiosks, and historic displays. As an active "people place" the Transit Mall will develop into a vital urban stage for the diverse activities of every day city life.

LOWELL C.B.D. IMPROVEMENT
LOWELL, MASSACHUSETTS
Urban design and landscape improvements for a mile long historic downtown streetscape. The design strategy was to reverse the image of the downtown as a decaying urban center by complementing commercial activity with the design of historic clocks, benches, flag displays, colorful plantings and opening up views to the nearby canals. The result has been a rejuvenated downtown given back to Lowell's citizens; the City's historic character has been reborn.

Urban design and planning
Project:
West Broadway Comprehensive Renewal Project,
Boston, Massaciiusetts
A troubled housing project in South Boston will become more livable and will be reintegrated into the neighborhood by the elimination of the existing superblock configuration, the reduction of the scale of buildings and groupings, and the private and shared spaces in the exterior courtyards.

Client: Boston Housing Author- ity in cooperation with West B roadway Task Force and M as sa - chusetts Department of Commu- nity Affairs.
Project: West Broadway Comprehensive Re- newal program, Boston, Ma. Program: West Broadway, constructed by the State of Massachusetts in 1948 to house 1000 veterans and their families, is now one of New England's largest and most troubled public housing projects. The project consists of 27 identical three-story walk-up buildings ar- ranged on a suf)erbIock with no through traf- fic. Over the years, poor maintenance, racial strife, and deficiencies in the original design led to the abandonment of 325 of the units, which were then badly vandalized. In 1979, the tenant association succeeded in obtaining $20 million to renew the project, and, in partnership with the Boston Housing Au- thority and the State, asked the urban design team to make the project livable and secure, and to ensure that all tenants remained on site throughout the renewal process. Site: 28 acres in South Boston. Solution: The plan, which will be executed in several stages to prevent tenant disclocation, pxjssesses several key features. The su- f)erblock will be destroyed by reestablishing the original street grid and block pattern, reintegrating the project into the neighbor- hood. A new "Main Street" will link commu- nity facilities and courtyards. The project will be decentralized by the creation of seven "vil- lages," one per block, each with its own design identity and management organization. The number of units will be reduced from 1000 to
675 by the enlargement of some of the apartments, many in duplex configuration with their own front and back doors, and by the demolition of sections of existing build- ings to create a less institutional scale. The courtyards within the blocks will be given more privacy by locating all apartment entries on the street side and by excluding cars from within the blocks. The courtyards will be used for individual backyards and for shared play and sitting areas.
Jury comments
Woodbridge: This design takes a public hous- ing project, which was a real disaster area — the worst kind of asphalt jungle, really, with a fairly high rate of abandonment — and tries to rescale it, rehabilitate the buildings, change the image, and make it into a pretty decent place to live.
Ex:kstut: Its architectural statement is unre- markable, but it really explores a hierarchy of spaces.
Woodbridge: Its achievements will have tremendous implications.

AFFIRMATWE ACTION POLICY STATEMENT PAUL C. K. LU AND ASS0CIA7ES accepts as their operating affirmative action policy, the following statement in its entirety: (In accordance v/ith the following applicable laws:
1. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972.
2. Executive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Order 11375.
3. The Equal Pay Act of 1963.
4. The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967.
5. Title 41 Public Contracts and Property Management Chapter 50 Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs, Equal Employment Opportunity, Department of Labor.
6. Section 503, Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
7. Section 402, Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Act of 1974.
8. Fair Employment 'Practices Act.
9. Applicable State & Local Laws.
"It is the policy of the firm to assure that no person is discriminated against in any activity or program undertaken by the firm on the grounds of race, color, creed, religious belief, sex, national origin, ancestry, marital status, physical disability or blindness, criminal record, mental disorder, status as a disabled or Vietnam veteran and/or age. These include the following protected classes: Blacks, Spanish-surnamed Americans, Asian Americans, American Indians, Women, and the Handicapped.
In addition, this firm is committed to affirmative action to the extent that the guidelines set out below will be fully executed and implemented in a good faith manner to effectively attempt to provide equal opportunity for all.
1. Objectives, Affirmative action requires positive, aggressive and effective steps to attract job applications from minority groups and women; to hire those who are qualified or who are trainable; to train employees for future advancement; and to advance those who are qualified without regard to the areas listed above. Affirmative action also requires the training and counselling of supervisory and management personnel in the effective supervision and management of all employees
with emphasis on the particular problems of minority, handicapped and female employees.
2. Requirements. In order to implement an effective Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Compliance Program it is necessary that the problems inherent in minority and female employment be identified and analyzed and the opportunities for the utilization of minority group personnel and women be evaluated and emphasized. The Program, therefore, will provide, in detail, for specific steps to ensure equal employment opportunity keyed to the problems
and needs of minorities and females in general and to the particular circumstances of each locality. For the long view, Paul C. K. Lu and Associates hereby resolves that we will continue to direct every reasonable effort toward increasing the number of minorities and women at all levels within our profession.
We recognize that it is, at present, impossible to attract qualified minorities in the quantities required to completely satisfy the need of our whole profession, because of the immense shortage of qualified minorities that exists. However, as a genuine effort toward a proper balance for the short term, we will continue to actively search for firms which are owned or controlled by women and minority persons, and set up joint ventures, or subcontract with them.
3. Evaluation. The Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Compliance Program will provide the following on a continuous basis:
a. An analysis of minority and female employees in all job categories.
b. An analysis of hiring practices to determine whether the equal employment opportunity is being afforded in all job categories.
c. An evaluation of recruitment sources as to their effectiveness in referring qualified minorities and women.
d. An analysis of upgrading, transfer and promotion to determine whether equal employment opportunity is being afforded.
4. Implementation. In order to implement our Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Compliance Program, Paul C. K. Lu and Associates shall include the following:
a. Establish methods to increase the number of minorities and female applicants for employment.
This is to include, but not be limited to:
1) Present sources of job candidates will be urged to refer qualified minorities and women
2) Employment advertising will continue to include a statement reflecting our office status as "An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F". In addition, we will utilize minority and female oriented media as vehicles for recruitment advertising.
3) All open positions will be posted in each office in order to encourage minority ana female employees to refer their qualified friends and relatives for job vacancies, where applicable. Promotion from "within" will also be assisted by this publicity.
4) Minority and female students will be sought for inclusion in summer employment urograms.
5) We will work closely with minority organizations as a source of obtaining qualified minority applicants of both sexes.
Recruit, hire, train and promote for all job classifications
without regard to the areas listed in the first paragraph
of this statement.
Base decisions on employment solely upon the individual's
qualifications for the position being filled.
Make promotional decisions only on the individual's
qualifications as related to the requirements of the
position to be filled.
e. Insure that all other personnel action, such as compensation, benefits, transfer, layoffs, returns from layoffs. Company- sponsored training, education, tuition assistance, social and recreational programs, are administered vn'thout regard to the areas listed in paragraph one of this statement.
5. Responsibility. With the full support of line management, the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer, Paul C. K. Lu, AIA, ASLA, APA, will be responsible for the administration of the Program
as required by tie circumstances of this Office. The EEO officer will :
a. Set goals which are to be significant, measurable, and attainable. These goals should be specific as to planned results.
b. Identify problem areas by department, location, job classification, etc., and take remedial action.
c. Conduct periodic reviews of the progress made under the Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Compliance Program.
6. Office Coordination. The Office total Program is to be coordinated through the Equal Employment Opportunity Officer.
Paul C. K. Lu and Associates has used an Advisory Committee on an informal basis for some time. The members of the committee are Mr. Paul C. K. Lu, Ms. Miriam Bone, and Ms. Rosalyn Weinstein. The composition of the committee offers us the advantage of having input from a management person, a female professional, and a member of the clerical unit. The scope of this information is most valuable in terms of E.E.O. to offer feedback and potential alteration of our program.
7. The intent of ou-^ Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Compliance Program is to attempt to realize an employee population which is consistent with the general area population in the Landscape Architect-Site Planner field, it is still evident, however, that the percentage of minorities and women in our field has not increased to any appreciable degree. Paul C. K. Lu and Associates realizes that the attainment of this objective is dependent upon a gradual upgrading of the minority and women situation in the available job market. Paul C. K. Lu and Associates has and will continue to commit itself to assisting consciously in this upgrading effort to implement and accelerate equal opportunity for all employees and applicants for employment. This plan and its policies are expected to achieve for Paul C. K. Lu and Associates the elimination of any discriminatory practices that might exist, and the nurturing of an environment within the firm which promotes and supports equal opportunity and treatment at all areas of the Paul C. K. Lu and Associates organization. Our management at all levels, is required to make every good faith effort to achieve this intent. Paul C. K. Lu, AIA, ASLA, APA, Principal of Paul C. K. Lu and Associates reinterates the Office policy in the following statement: I am personally committed to the effective implementation of the Office affirmative action policy and program. Further, I direct all supervisory, personnel to carry out their affirmative action responsibilities with the same dispatch and expertise normally applied to their regular job duties.
