Continued <br />Civic uses form the core of the neighborhood. Streets are well defined with walkways, <br />trees, and buildings that connect residents to parks, shops, and civic uses with safe, <br />well - lighted sidewalks. Pedestrians take priority over automobiles. Homes are located <br />close to the streets, with visible front doors and recessed garages. <br />Silver Eagle Road - the main street through the redevelopment - showcases special <br />paving brick patterns and stamped asphalt. The firm used traffic calming devices to <br />make the area more pedestrian friendly. The firm also designed color concrete and <br />other site furnishings, such as tree grates, cobble pavers, and lighted entry signs. <br />Nuevo Park sits in the heart of the redevelopment project. The project team designed <br />a stormwater retention basin, a soccer field, and a band shell stage for the park. A <br />grand staircase entry entices people to leave the street and enter the park. The firm <br />created a landscape design featuring native plantings to cut down on water use and <br />mowing maintenance. The plants included <br />deer grass, California poppies, cottonwood <br />trees, river birch trees, sweet gum trees, and <br />sycamore trees. <br />Gateway Park creates a southern border <br />for the redevelopment. It features a creek, <br />a stormwater retention basin, walking <br />paths, and benches. Wetland plants <br />were used in the basin, while the hillside <br />showcases non - irrigated wildflowers and <br />grasses. <br />
