The Streetscapes Issue of Landscape Architect and Specifier News saw many firms submit their projects for feature consideration. Town of Sykesville Downtown Improvement Projects is one of several great projects we are excited to showcase on LandscapeArchitect.com.

 

As part of the Town Center Master Plan, Heritage Park and Main Street alleys were identified as priority open space improvements in the central business district core of downtown Sumner. The goal was to transform the streetscapes, streets, and open spaces into pedestrian-focused outdoor amenities that could be used daily for residents and main street retailers, then expanded, at various scales, into outdoor event venues.

JETT's team worked with the community, stakeholders, engineers, and City leadership to understand the vision and transform it into a workable master plan in 2022. The master plan identified phasing, cost, and priority projects that were used to obtain 95% of the project funding from County, Utility and state recreational grants, allowing the initial phase of design and implementation to begin in 2024.
