Remington, IN

Downtown Streetscape and Depot

HWC led the design and implementation of the streetscape improvements along North Railroad Street and South Railroad Street in downtown Remington, which included the introduction of bumpouts and modifications to the existing traffic flow and parking. Concurrently, HWC collaborated with KJG Architects on the depot building renovation and plaza, which has become an event center for the community. Extensive railroad coordination, adhering to grant funding requirements, and staying within budget were the main challenges of the project, which HWC guided to a successful outcome.  

Rushville, IN

Main Street Streetscape

As part of the City’s Stellar Communities effort, HWC led the design and inspection of improvements to Main Street through historic downtown Rushville. A new mid-block pedestrian crossing, LED lighting upgrades, decorative street clock, and special paving were included. The nearly half-mile-long corridor connects several other sites that represent the significant investments the City has directed into their downtown, including the Overlook at Riverside Park, the Farmer’s Market, the City Government Center, and Princess Theater.

Lafayette, IN

Main Street Streetscape

After leading the City of Lafayette through a streetscape master plan in 2008, HWC provided design, coordination, and construction inspection services for five phases of streetscape along Main Street in downtown Lafayette. Funded by the Lafayette Redevelopment Commission, this transformative project is part of the City’s promotion of healthy lifestyles and beautification in downtown Lafayette.

The goals of the project were to maximize pedestrian space and allow locations for outdoor dining and public art by introducing bumpouts. Project components included new sidewalk, special paving, street trees, stormwater planters, and installation of decorative bike racks, benches, and trash receptacles. Custom decorative crosswalk surface systems and decals were designed for the farmers’ market and other intersection treatments.

The new construction consisted of a new stormwater system, reconstructing the roadway subgrade and placing asphalt, pouring new curb and gutter, hand tooled concrete sidewalks, ornamental railing, landscaping, lighting, and an intricate concrete banding and brick paver design within the bumpouts at each intersection.
