M <br />Fort Worth, TX <br />Description <br />Working with the public and private partnership of the <br />City of Fort Worth and Bass Brothers Enterprises, Carter & <br />Burgess, Inc. provided planning, landscape architecture <br />and civil engineering services for the redevelopment of <br />Fort Worth's historic Main Street. <br />The street, which has been reconstructed to achieve <br />the effect of its original red brick surface, visually links the <br />downtown area from the historic courthouse at the north <br />end of downtown to the Tarrant County Convention <br />Center at the south end. The focal point of the southern <br />end of the street is a large inset granite star designed <br />by Carter & Burgess - a <br />feature that echoes the <br />patriotic Texas image of <br />the courthouse to the <br />north. <br />This project involved traffic <br />analysis, streetscape <br />design and amenities <br />improvements and was <br />awarded a Consulting <br />Engineer's Council Award <br />of Excellence. <br />As consultants to Bass <br />Brothers Enterprises, <br />Carter & Burgess, Inc., <br />also provided services <br />for the rehabilitation of a <br />two -block area on Main <br />Street. The project, known <br />as Sundance Square, <br />involved restoring 11 <br />buildings to their original <br />turn -of- the - century <br />character. The Square, <br />formerly the home of <br />pawnshops and discount <br />jewelers, has become a <br />viable income - producing <br />Services <br />Master Planning <br />Streetscape Design <br />Landscape <br />Architecture <br />
