STREETSCAPES

Professional Landscape Architecture

Streetscapes

Streets are more than corridors for vehicles—they are shared public spaces that support pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and community life. Well-designed streetscapes improve safety, enhance mobility, and contribute to the identity and vitality of a community.

Our landscape architecture team designs streetscapes that balance function, safety, accessibility, and aesthetics. By thoughtfully coordinating infrastructure and placemaking elements, we help transform streets into welcoming environments that serve all users.

Safe, Accessible, and Multi-Modal Design – Safety and drainage are fundamental components of roadway design, but successful streetscapes also prioritize comfort and accessibility. We design street configurations that support all modes of travel, including:

  • Sidewalks and pedestrian crossings

  • Bicycle facilities and shared-use trails

  • Transit accommodations

  • Traffic-calming and safety features

Crosswalks, curb ramps, and sidewalks are designed to meet accessibility standards while promoting clear, intuitive movement through the corridor.

Integrated Streetscape Elements – Streetscape character is shaped by the details. We integrate a range of elements to enhance both function and visual appeal, including:

  • Decorative and durable paving materials

  • Pedestrian-scale lighting

  • Landscape plantings and street trees

  • Site furniture such as benches, bike racks, and trash receptacles

  • Wayfinding and signage

These components work together to improve comfort, define spaces, and create a cohesive streetscape experience.

Designed for Community Impact – Whether revitalizing a downtown corridor, enhancing a neighborhood street, or supporting a new development, our streetscape designs reflect the surrounding context and community goals. We collaborate closely with civil engineers, traffic professionals, and municipalities to ensure designs integrate seamlessly with roadway infrastructure and long-term maintenance needs.

From concept development through final construction support, our streetscape designs help create safer, more attractive, and more walkable communities—streets that function well and feel inviting for everyone.
