TRANSPORTATION MAP

Yellow line presents Main Roads
there are only two main road cross Gowanus
-Gowanus Expy
- 9th Street
most roads along the residential area (north east direction)
Blue line presents Bus Routes
few bus routes cross Gowanus, most bus routes are surround Gowanus
these show workers in Gowanus don't use bus a lot
the Gowanus Expy seems like the busiest road for bus and car

Red line presents Subway Route
Red spot presents Subway station
many Subway routes located in north part link to Manhattan
few routes between Gowanus industry and residential area, so passengers can  either go home or work
only one Subway line cross Gowanus



Pink Line presents Bike Route
Pink Spot presents Citibike Kiosk
Bike routes are not restrict in northeast direction, there are also many northwest routes
North part has more routes than south part. Bike routes in South part are almost in residential area
Citibike Kiosk only exist in Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights (north part)
From the transportation map, it is easy to find that Gowanus Industrial area is isolated by bus and train
Building Typology Exercise in Class
everyone draw 4 building typologies when you think of Gowanus

-factory and bridge are the most two typologies are drawn
factories with smoke for me it presents pollution, while industry also shows potential of Gowanus
