Killian Hill Multi-Use Path | 2-7 Planning and Urban Design | 2-7 <br />Atkins | City of Sunny Isles Beach, RFQ No. 12-04-020006.027944.0512 <br />Clearwater Beach Walk <br />Clearwater, Florida <br />With its gentle surf, beautiful sunsets, and <br />wide, sandy white shores, Clearwater <br />Beach—located in Pinellas County along <br />the west coast of Florida and the shores <br />of the Gulf of Mexico—has been a nation - <br />ally recognized destination for beachgo- <br />ers for many years. In 2001, the City of <br />Clearwater adopted Beach by Design: A <br />Preliminary Design for Clearwater Beach <br />and Design Guidelines, which set in motion <br />the impetus for redevelopment of Clearwater <br />Beach as a great beach destination. Atkins <br />assisted in the creation of Clearwater Beach <br />Walk—a $30 million beach-side urban and <br />streetscape redevelopment project. The <br />entire area was renamed Beach Walk and <br />includes a 2,400-foot-long by 25-foot-wide <br />pedestrian promenade, connection to the <br />Pinellas County trail system via a 20-foot- <br />wide by 1,800-foot-long hike/bike trail, entry <br />gateways, public plaza spaces, unique <br />beach entrances, seating areas, beach- <br />inspired public art, and coastal landscaping. <br />The master plan included street widening, <br />rebuilding of underground utilities, urban <br />streetscape improvements to Coronado <br />Drive, and realignment of Gulfview <br />Boulevard into a curvilinear and scenic <br />beachside drive. <br />Urban Design <br />100359:DB:0511 <br />Client <br />City of Clearwater <br />Services provided <br />• Landscape architecture <br />• Conceptual planning <br />• Public involvement <br />• Construction management <br />• Beach-by-design <br />implementation <br />
