An underground auto culvert circumnavigates<br />

the harbor shoreline; the tunnel collects, diverts<br />

and condenses the auto/truck traffic of the sea<br />

ferries off of the harbor’s surface streets, public<br />

spaces and parking lots.The culvert forms a<br />

dam to the harbor’s waters, outlining a new<br />

profile to the harbor shoreline. Its structure and<br />

profile connects a new civic harbor archipelago<br />

of community, commerce, and culture<br />
