Civic Square Conceptual Landscape Design and Schedule Update
Conceptual landscape design for Civic Square is underway and is expected to be complete in Spring 2025.
Features of the design include:
- a new entryway centered on the façade of City Hall,
- architectural canopies with lighting and public art along the building façade,
- reduced parking lot size to increase public space,
- an in-ground water feature with water jets and lighting,
- use of recycled and sustainable materials, native plants, and resource and energy, efficient systems like LED lighting and water runoff reuse, and
- accessible concrete paving and seating opportunities.
The project schedule has also been updated. Key milestones of the updated schedule include:
