Riverfront Design Plan for Downtown
The Department of Planning and Development Review, on behalf of the City is soliciting professional services of a landscape
architectural/urban design firm (the “Consultant”) with experience in developing
landscape design plans for waterfronts to prepare a Riverfront Design Plan for
the Downtown.
The Plan would include detailed design for both banks of the riverfront from the
Robert E. Lee Bridge downstream to the City line / Ancarrow’s Landing. The
Plan should identify public access points, open spaces, specific development
concepts/landscape treatments, and trail development. The Plan is expected to
guide the programming and design of future public spaces, inform the City’s
capital improvement process, identify strategic partnerships with private
landowners, and generally outline the relationship of the built environment
(including private development) to public spaces and the natural environment.
