South Street Underpass – Louisville, CO

Overview

Building directly on our previous work with Louisville’s Hwy 42 Sub-area planning effort, we transitioned from focusing on the community as a whole to detailed landscape architecture. We were tasked to create a railroad underpass that would become more than just a gateway to Louisville’s emerging redevelopment, but a catalytic project that would demonstrate to the development community how committed the city is to extending the fabric of downtown.

Challenge

Create a pedestrian underpass that was more then a functional linkage but an element of the community that would unite old and new Louisville.

Outcome

A connection that catalyzed redevelopment and became a community focal point for Louisville.
