In order to define entry to the site by land, a diagonal running from the traffic circle will be established. It will set up a view of the bunkers as the terminus of the arterial road system.

Rue Dordelin and Avenue du Commendant L’Herminier will be combined into a boulevard to draw people to a new plaza at the water’s edge. This plaza will serve a variety of functions: access to the park, terminus of the bus system, link to the ferry service, and entry to the Keroman bunkers.

A public park will be created on the roof of Bunker 3 at the water’s edge.

East-west links to the port will be created by removing existing buildings from the plaza and by providing a pedestrian connection to the north of the bunkers
