The Designing the 21st Century Street Competition jury has chosen three winners out of over 100 submissions from 13 countries.

Rogers Marvel Architects from New York City, LEVON from Philadelphia and Steven Nutter from Somerville, Massachusetts, will share the top honor, and each will receive a prize of $4,000. In addition, the jurors awarded Mark Anders of Brooklyn an honorable mention.

Fourth Avenue and 9th Street in Brooklyn, the focus of the competition, is one of the most dangerous intersections in its area. The current design, with its wide, multiple travel lanes and few pedestrian amenities, encourages speeding and reckless driving. Subway stations, bus stops, a truck route and a new bike lane add to the intersection's complexity. Each of the winning designs addressed these issues in elegant, simple and sustainable ways.

In addition to the jury's selection, Transportation Alternatives' staff held its own vote to choose the design that best exemplifies its vision of a 21st Century Street. The T.A. staff picked the design of Degré Zéro Paysagistes, a firm from Paris, France. Their entry was chosen for its ability to integrate natural systems with transportation and street space.

The winning designs will be showcased at an exhibition at Galapagos Art Space in DUMBO, Brooklyn. The exhibit will be on display for three weeks at Galapagos, after which time it will move to another space in the city.
