Renovated hotels, restaurants, and night clubs are the main focus of development efforts, and condominiums are aiso appearing on once empty lots. Enhancing pedestrian areas has been an emphasis during this $16.5 miliion program, and Ocean Terrace, wIlich fronts the beach and Atlantic Ocean, now boasts sidewalks wide enough to accommodate outdoor cafes as well as pedestrian traffic. Kimley-Horn's assistance to the city has also included designating a special assessment district covering the roadway corridor that included over 300 property owners. In addition to building strong local consensus for the project, we assisted the city in obtaining over $7.5 miliion in funding from sources outside the city.

As ongoing consullant to the Town of Jupiter since 1972, our firm provided master planning services for the Jupiter Lighthouse Park. A major element of the pari< design will be the delineation of the six soccer fields. We have developed an 'open green-space concept" that allows the fields to be used in a variety of directions. This concept reduces field maintenance costs because heavily used areas on a soccer field, such as the goalie box, can be rotated to various locations. Our drainage and grading plans will provide rapid water drainage so that the fields can be used shortly after rainfall. We have designed a nature trail weaving among the existing naUve Floridian vegetation, thereby preserving important natural features. ~ Year Completed: 1998 Total Fees: $60,000 Total Construction Cost: $700,000 Estimated Jupiter AlA Recreation Corridor, Jupiter, FL Client: Town of Jupiter Russell Ruskay (561) 746-5134 Description of Work: The Jupller Beach/A 1A corridor is a three-mile stretch of scenic beachfront roadway.

Coordination wfth Palm Beach County was also necessary to obtain approval for all enhancements. Project enhancements include a designated bicycle lane on both sides of the right-of-way, pedestrian walkways wfth ocean lookout points, refurbished and enhanced iandscaping, and beach portals adjacent to dune walkovers. Extensive coordination with the Department of Environmental Resource Management (DERM) and Florida Department of Environmental Protection Agency (DEP) was necessary because of the fragile environment represented by the beach area and the dune system. Precautions, which included restructuring parking, will minimize the impact of beach-goors on the delicate ecosystems that have already been showing signs of deterioration. To allow for the existing conditions and natural features of Ihe dunes, mu~iple landscape designs were interspersed along the entire corridor. These enhancements will not onty improve the transportation system along the Jupiter Beach/A1A recreational corridor, but will provide a much needed protection for the dune and its ecosystems.

The equestrian show ring, one of Ihe largest in the state, is being considered by the U.S. Olympic Committee for their equestrian training facility. To achieve positive community support, we hosted several public workshops and breakout sessions for interest groups and area residents to express their unique visions and goals for this park. Based on the resulls of these meetings, we produced a public involvement workbook that summarized project goals and presented two allernative plans. The Martin County Board of County Commissioners fonnally adopted the project, which had received broad public support. Part of the public involvement process included establishing volunteer groups to provide ongoing input on park maintenance, operations, and future development.

Located just east of Downtown, the property was originally condemned by the Georgia Department of Transportation for a freeway to connect to Stone Mountain in the eastem suburbs. After years of . controversy involving the city and residents of fIVe historic Intown neighborhoods, the freeway was finally Iimijed to a four-lane parkway running from downtown to the Carter Presidential Center and beyond. The surrounding land was dedicated to the creation of a park. EDAW created the master plan based on a program defined by extensive input from surrounding residents and local groups. EDAWs services are continuing through the detailed design and construction phases. The resulting plan reflects a strong sense of community. The park property contains significant historic and cuhural value. It was the site of the Battle of Atlanta during the Civil War and is surrounded by several of Atlanta's first 'suburban' neighborhoods. It also acts as a link between downtown, the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historic Sije and the Carter Presidential Center.

Since 1989, Kimley-Hom's work with the City of Miami Beach has been critical to establishing the roadway and streetscape elements upon which this revitalization will build. The firm has provided streetscape design, urban design, landscape architecture, utilities and drainage design, roadway engineering, transportation-related services, and construction phase services for lhree miles of improvements. Altogether, projects valued at about $300 million are under construction or planned for North Beach by 2000, according to Donald Shockey, executive director of the North Beach Development Corporation. Renovated hotels, restaurants, and night clubs are the main focus of development efforts, and condominiums are also appearing on once empty lots. Enhancing pedestrian areas has been an emphasis during this $16.5 million program, and Ocean Terrace, which fronts the beach and Atlantic Ocean, now boasts sidewalks wide enough to accommodate outdoor cafes as well as pedestrian traffIC. Kimley-Hom's assistance to the city has also included designating a special assessment district covering the roadway corridor that included over 300 property owners. In addition to building strong local consensus for the project, we assisted the city in obtaining over $7.5 million in funding from sources outside the city.

Our approach was to conduct a study and design pilot facilities to determine the feasibility of using a shallow aquifer storage and recovery system as an irrigation supply for the city. The proposal was selected from 60 grant submittals in October 1995. The project consists of two phases. The first phase included an engineering and hydrogeologic feasibility study, The study was used to determine if ASR was viable for Miami Beach. The second phase of the project includes design, construction, and implementation of a full-scale pilot ASR testing program that will include cyclic recharge and recovery of stored water from the target aquiler. The project was unanimously approved by the Districrs Board and by the City of Miami Beach Capital Improvements Board. Tom Singleton, project manager for the District, said, 'The District is truly excited about this project concept and believes that this creative approach should be applied up and down Florida's coast.' The project, which began in March 1996, represents the largest grant given to any municipality under this proposal.

In response to this vocal and broad-based call for action. the City 01 Miami Beach invited EDAW sSummer Student Program to Miami Beach for an intensive, two-week workshop in June 1999. For members of the team, the objectives of the workshop were to listen to 1I1e concems and goals of the community's stakeholders, document their vision of a beautified corridor, and provide overall planning and design recommendations for a 2.5- mile-long corridor between 23'" and 6.,... Streets in Miami Beach. ;- r r The workshop culminated in a preparation of a master vision for the Indian Creek Greenway, which was presented in draft form to community members on July 25, 1999. The Indian Creek Greenway Master Plan is intended to inspire a true public/private partnership in the Miami Beach community that will. in tum, resuR in the successful implementation of physical, natural, and ecological improvements to the Indian Creek corridor. The corridor has many opporluntties for increasing the scenic views down the creek in addition to creating visual links to the beachfronl. This visual connection, not only to the natural environment but also to the man-made, buitt form, creates opportunities for developing cultural. historical, and educational signs to interpret the corridor. The ecology of the creek is somewhat overshadowed by the intensity and speed of vehicular activity on Collins Avenue. While environmental and ecological assets are typically lacking in major urban area, Miami Beach possesses a natural resource of significant value that is currently underutilized. To enhance the overall experience of Indian Creek, attention should be given to developing the water quality, ecological signifICance, and habitat environment of the precious waterway.
