I I ~ I I AECOM Design + Planning Masterplanning Landscape Architecture + Urban Design Studios: Atlanta, Miami Beach, San Francisco Tampa Downtown Riverwalk After a competition involving 12 firms, AECOM won the contract to design and implement a comprehensive masterplan for the City of Tampa's downtown Riverwalk. The Riverwalk extends 2.5 miles along Tampa's Hillsborough River and Garrison Channel. It will link neighborhoods, cultural and civic facilities, and attractions via a multipurpose walkway that utilizes public art, interpretive elements, and dynamic design features to create a signature public amenity for the city. Through a comprehensive public process, we combined the client's vision with those of the citizens of Tampa and business and civic groups. The resulting masterplan showcases the environmental characteristics of the river and connects the Ongoing "'l~.it !!,:' .....,1 ~;~ ". ''':'-''f )1 . '.

Public art is a large component of the design, as are unique walkways over the river. Incorporating waterfront cafes, interactive fountains, and boat launches, the plan will transform an underused sidewalk into a vibrant promenade that promises to fully recognize the natural resource Tampa has in the Hillsborough River. Ultimately, the project aims to become Tampa's premier public space, and to provide a catalyst for economic growth.
