Site
At the site scale, the recovery plan becomes physical. Specific intersections — like the boulevard crossing at Lahaina Luna Avenue — are designed as community anchor points. Stream corridors are detailed with planting plans, trail access, and stormwater management. This is where the abstract framework becomes something you can walk through.
