<br />RELEVANT EXPERIENCE
<br />PBA/Fern Isle Redevelopment Project, Miami, FL — Landscape Analyst. Kimley-Horn
<br />provided landscape architecture and civil engineering services from concept through construction
<br />administration for the PBA/Fern Isle Redevelopment Project. PBA/Fern Isle Park is a proposed
<br />six-acre riverfront passive park with amenities such as multi-use lawn area, play landforms, large

<br />Biscayne Green, Miami, FL — Landscape Analyst. Working with the Miami Parking Authority
<br />and in collaboration with the Miami Downtown Development Authority, Kimley-Horn is actively
<br />developing a long-term vision for the redesign of a portion of Biscayne Boulevard in downtown
<br />Miami. The segment of Biscayne Boulevard between SE 1st Street and NE 6th Street will be
<br />transformed from parking lots and travel lanes into a dynamic linear park and promenade
<br />linking downtown and Bayfront Park. The intent is to narrow the vehicular corridor along this
<br />stretch from 8 lanes to 4 lanes of traffic and remove the NE 1st and 4th Streets intersections to
<br />increase connectivity and meet the transportation needs of all street users in a safe and enjoyable
<br />manner. Throughout the visioning process, from information gathering and consensus building to
<br />program planning, the Kimley-Horn team engaged the public as well as advisory and stakeholder
<br />committees to inform the design.

<br />The planting design incorporated new trees, palms, shrubs, and groundcovers into the medians
<br />following FDOT design standards. The planting and irrigation contract documents were presented

<br />irrigation design, and permit processing assistance.
