plan that was conceptually in tune with the Seminole's Tribal clans. In addition, the plan was to respect the ecology of the site and work harmoniously with nature, an important ethic of the Seminole nation. The plan also incorporates existing man -made development: existing neighborhoods, recreational area and on -going utility improvements. Although, the Master Planning process of some 250 acres of the Reservation is still on -going and evolving, the essence of the plan remains: a series of clan neighborhoods around a village center. The neighborhoods are designed to facilitate and encourage familial gathering, play, and socializing. Each has a central common green area surrounded by lots in a radial fashion. The central village follows that same concept with retail and office opportunities, and a library enclosing a central green /park. At one end of the village is the church and /or community center, with the communal "Council Oak" for tribal gatherings. The village center also has multi - family housing associated with it to enliven the village around the clock. A new "Tourist Village" is proposed at the terminus of a new reservation entrance drive. The Tourist Village will house arts and crafts shops, a museum and cultural center, a nature walk, and other retail associated with tourism. Lakes are proposed for aesthetic and utilitarian purposes: for fill and to protect sensitive wetland areas as well as for scenic viewsheds. Essential wetlands are preserved and key water flows are left unimpeded - the ecology of the site may even be enhanced. The Seminole Tribe plans to use this Master Plan as a prototype for other tribal reservations. Miramar Parkway Revitalization - This redevelopment and streetscape project includes a 1.5 mile 2 -block urban section of the Miramar Parkway corridor adjacent to SR TUS 441. Miller Legg is handling designing the landscape and irrigation improvements for FDOT along this corridor north and south of Miramar Parkway. The proposed streetscape improvements include enhancement of the pedestrian corridor to encourage safe pedestrian traffic for adjacent commercial and office uses. The design also calls for consolidated parking areas rather than replacing backout parking in front of businesses for the safety of both the pedestrian and automobile traffic and to improve the operation of the street and the aesthetics of the streetscape. Ronald B. Rollins, RLA Tradewinds Park Equestrian Trails - The equestrian trail planning for Tradewinds Park was in conjunction with a comprehensive Tradewinds Park Master Development Plan created for the Broward County Parks Department. The Plans call for a network of trails, totaling eight miles that wind through various native Florida habitats and terrain and vary in width to provide the rider a variety of experiences. The park trail network was designed to be tied to a future County -wide network of biking and hiking trails. Tradewinds Park Development Plan - Designed the overall Master Development Plan that will serve to guide development for, and improvements on, the 240 -acres of land that constitute the north end of Tradewinds Park, a Broward County Regional Park. The plan was comprehensive in its scope, examining all park elements, from new additional park facilities and improvements to existing facilities, to addressing infrastructure improvements and dealing with parking and circulation issues.
