CITY CENTER STREETSCAPE <br />New Hope, MN <br />r� r <br />�r r <br />r�ri' nuuurr+�Sq 7i7rn'� <br />r k t <br />PROJECT DESCRIPTION <br />'r LOUCKS <br />4�s <br />AT -A -GLANCE <br />• Loucks' streetscape design creates a unique <br />sense of place and enhances the New Hope <br />City Center by incorporating new gateway <br />features, banner columns, custom arbors, and <br />seating areas. <br />• Streetscape improvements were designed to <br />tie into future redevelopment areas, including <br />improvements to the existing City Hall. <br />• Narrowing an overly -wide existing two-lane <br />street created room within the right of way for <br />pedestrian realm features, including a 10' wide <br />multi -use sidewalk, street trees, and <br />landscaped boulevards. <br />New Hope was looking to create an identifiable and unique area within its city border. New Hope's City <br />Center has been the home of several public uses such as city hall, the public pool, fire station and Civic <br />Center Park. Existing strip malls and the previously abandon K -Mart store along with multi -family housing <br />were the primary private users. <br />In an effort to create a remarkable community space, the City took advantage of the momentum created by <br />a new Hy -Vee project to implement a new streetscape project. The streetscape design incorporates unique <br />elements including banner columns, arbor structures, and includes gateway entry features to welcome users <br />to the new City Center. The main thoroughfare is designed to convert, as needed, into a large public <br />gathering space, bringing people together for community events. <br />� � <br />j. v-..... ; .. -.- <br />i\ <br />PLANNING I CIVIL ENGINEERING I LAND SURVEYING I LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE I ENVIRONMENTAL <br />
