Princeton Trails
As a part of the city’s Stellar Communities effort, three trail projects were implemented—the Toyota Trail, the Heritage Trail, and the Tiger Trail. The City of Princeton engaged the HWC team to lead the trail design as well as the development of a wayfinding system. The wayfinding system included custom trail markers and map kiosks. HWC also developed a logo that was incorporated into bike racks and the overall theming of the trail system.

Muncie, IN
White River Canal District Plaza
This plaza was the first step in the establishment of a development district along the White River in downtown Muncie. Its purpose was to provide a public space for the adjacent residents of a new downtown apartment building that could be programmed with events and food trucks. The city engaged GRT Glass Design to install an interactive sculpture as a central focal point. Trail segments radiating from the plaza will connect the existing canal walkway to the White River Trail.

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.
