<br />® Hollywood Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Street Planning and
<br />Transportation Vision and Broadwalk Design, Hollywood, FL — Working intensely with
<br />® a team of stakeholders, City staff planners, architects, landscape architects, and engineers,
<br />0 Kimley -Horn developed a transportation and revitalization plan for the City of Hollywood. As
<br />® principal -in- charge, worked with the Kimley -Horn team to help the City define a vision for
<br />the CRA area that includes the Broadwalk, Surf Road, At A, and Hollywood Boulevard. This
<br />® area was once the garden spot of the City, but like so many downtown areas, it has fallen
<br />® into pockets of neglect and disrepair. The theme for the revitalized area became the friendly,
<br />® charming beachside village that enjoyed popularity in the 40s, 50s, and 60s. To reach this end,
<br />a transportation network for this area was determined, which included main and secondary
<br />® thoroughfares and other significant elements. Kimley -Horn suggested making all thoroughfares
<br />® two -way to facilitate traffic. When A1A was recently widened, vehicular traff ic became
<br />® expedient, but pedestrians, tourists, and bicyclists /rollerbladers found it increasingly more
<br />dangerous with its excessive width and increased traffic speed. Our plan included narrowing
<br />® the cross - section to three lanes with on- street parking to improve access for local traffic and
<br />® tourists, and to make crossing safer through reduced speeds and traffic calming features.
<br />A Raised intersections and/or special paving at significant intersections and side streets enhance
<br />safety and encourage movement to the businesses along the street. Landscaped islands and
<br />® medians calm traffic. Narrow sidestreets were made to be either for local use only or as retail
<br />® use, public use, or connections to District amenities.
<br />® North Shore Area Roadway Improvements, Miami Beach, FL — Served as program
<br />manager for landscape architectural design. The project included more than three miles of
<br />® landscape and softscape improvements and required extensive coordination with FDOT to
<br />ensure that the design solutions met both the functional needs of the Department and the
<br />® aesthetic needs of the City of Miami Beach and property owners. The project also included
<br />® collaboration with a local artist on the design of a transit shelter /art wall anchoring a public park
<br />® on the northern end of the project, as well as an oceanfront park and beach portals along the
<br />20 -block corridor. This S16.5- million project was recently completed and has set the stage for
<br />® redevelopment in the corridor.
<br />® The Riverwalk at Kennedy Boulevard Plaza, Tampa, FL — Landscape architect. The
<br />® Kennedy Boulevard Plaza will be the longest over -water segment of the Tampa Riverwalk
<br />® and will serve as a gateway into the downtown core of Tampa. Two new parks, MacDill Park
<br />® and Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, will be linked by the plaza. The structure will also serve as
<br />a pathway to two of Tampa's downtown gems, the new Tampa Museum of Art and the new
<br />® Glazer Children's Museum. Kimley -Horn is providing urban design and landscape architecture
<br />® services for this exciting project.
<br />® Bradenton Downtown Development Authority Riverwalk, Bradenton, FL — Served as
<br />40 project manager. Kimley -Horn completed the master planning process for the 1.25- mile -long
<br />u riverfront area in Bradenton known as the Riverwalk. Services included grants /funding analysis,
<br />master planning, public involvement, design development, and stakeholder coordination. The
<br />® grand opening for the project was last fall, and it was recently awarded the top cultural and
<br />recreation project in the Tampa Bay Area by the Regional Planning Council.
