Award: Award of <br />Merit, American Society of Landscape <br />Architects, Florida Chapter, 2009 <br /> <br />City of Plantation Parks & <br />Recreation Master Plan - Miller Legg <br />was selected to prepare the first <br />Plantation Parks and Recreation Master <br />Plan. The firm provided comprehensive <br />recreation planning to create the Master <br />Plan. The Parks and Recreation Master <br />Plan is a tool intended to help the City of <br />Plantation meet the current and future <br />recreation needs of the community. The <br />resident-driven plan serves as a source of <br />applicable decision-making information, <br />and establishes clear goals and actionable <br />objectives to guide staff, advisory <br />committees, and City Council in their <br />work to maintain and enhance Plantation’s <br />system of parks, recreation facilities, and <br />programs over the next ten years. The <br />Plan was based upon research of existing <br />facilities and programs, recreation <br />opportunities and needs analyses specific <br />to City of Plantation demographics. To <br />effectively gather and disseminate <br />information during the planning phase, <br />Public Outreach was an important focus <br />of the project. Public workshops and <br />Public Online Survey assisted in <br />determining community recreation needs <br />and desires. All 42 Parks and 5 <br />Community Centers sites were reviewed, <br />along with future expansion opportunities <br />to accommodate program requirements. <br />In addition, Miller Legg assisted the City <br />to achieve its prestigious national CAPRA <br />(Commission for Accreditation of Park <br />and Recreation Agencies) accreditation, a <br />demonstrated management system of <br />best practices and measure of agency <br />quality of operation, management and <br />service to the community. <br /> <br />City of Homestead Biscayne- <br />Everglades Greenway Trail - Among <br />the services Miller Legg provided for this <br />3.2 mile, 12-foot-wide Biscayne Everglades <br />Greenway shared-use trail project are <br />landscape architectural, engineering, <br />surveying and environmental services <br />including preparation of FDOT-approved <br />construction documents, design of <br />regulatory and wayfinding signs, pavement <br />markings, safe pedestrian push button <br />crossing and necessary drainage within <br />the C-103 Canal right-of-way from East <br />Mowry Drive to SW 137th Avenue in <br />Homestead.
