Dam Removal and Stream Restoration
River Falls, W i s c o n s i n
Currently a grass roots effort in the City of River Falls is pursuing the
removal of two hydroelectric dams in order to restore a stretch of the
Kinnickinnic River, a world class trout fishing stream. The images above
represent preliminary ideas for extending trail networks and public
recreation facilities along the corridor.

Front Street Reconstruction
Mankato, M i n n e s o t a
Front Street, in the heart of the entertainment district in Mankato, is being
reconstructed to promote pedestrian safety and improved aesthetics. The
plan provides generous sidewalk space for restaurant patios and informal
seating. Construction began in Summer 2014.

creating a diverse system of native dry, mesic, short and tall prairie grasslands, wetlands, woodland, and shrubs. Glacial erratics found
in the reclamation site to the north and at the current Kasota Site will be set aside for later use in this reclamation project. These
outcroppings will provide visual interest along the trail and may be used as markers.

This reclamation plan for a mining site adjacent to the Minnesota River in
southern Minnesota proposes the restoration of native prairie and the creation
of a slough to support wildlife, promote species diversity, and improve
water quality. Recreational opportunities are also proposed, including trails,
boardwalks, and wildlife viewing blinds.

Cascade Avenue Streetscape
River Falls, W i s c o n s i n
A six block stretch of Cascade Avenue in River Falls was reconstructed in
2012 with the goals of pedestrian safety and generating greater exposure to
the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, which borders the street. This was
accomplished through the use of two roundabouts, increased signage, and a
heavily planted and continuous median. As an independent contractor with SEH,
I created the planting plan and completed the construction documents.

Whiting Lakefront Trail
& Pocket Park
Whiting, I n d i a n a
Part of the Marquette Greenway, the Whiting Lakefront Trail extension connects
Lake George Trail to the shores of Lake Michigan. In addition to the trail, a new
pocket park was designed as well as a plaza adjacent to an existing skate park.
The images above display the process of designing the pocket park from con-ceptual
design, through design development and final construction. The finish-ing
touches of the park took place in 2011, which included a bike/pedestrian
bridge.

capturing it in swales and filtering it through a series of rain gardens.
Connections were made to the Three Rivers Park Regional Trail system and
street furniture was placed at bus stop locations and plazas along the route.

DEMOLITION
A city owned building along Sumner Avenue, Humboldt’s main street, has been
demolished. In it’s place a central gathering space and plaza is planned, thus
creating opportunity out of liability. It will feature a central planter surrounding
a statue, planting beds, a lawn that can also be converted to a skating rink in
winter and space for wall murals.

Option 1 - Raised Planters at Existing Sign: Utilizing the existing welcome sign, a two-tier raised planter,
constructed from limestone/sandstone, is proposed surrounding the sign with native perennials. Additional shade trees and
ornamental trees are proposed as a backdrop.

Option 2 - New Sign & Water Feature: A new sign is proposed, anchoring cast metal letters to a limestone/
sandstone wall. A waterfall would be integrated into the wall, cascading water over a portion of the sign and recirculating
through a pondless water feature system. Perennials frame the feature while ornamental trees serve as a backdrop.
Option 3 - Welcome Plaza: A circular plaza with a central water fountain is proposed to be a future trail connection
and destination. The theme of the plaza draws from the milling history of the city with a paver design that resembles a mill
stone and a water table/fountain with a mill stone top. A limestone/sandstone wall backs the plaza flanked by bench seating.
Option 4 - Mill Gateway: At a new location at the intersection of Hwy. 169 & 240th St., A new gateway is proposed
to span the intersection. On the east, a new sign & water feature (Opt. 2) is proposed, integrating a mill wheel into the
architecture. On the west, old mill parts & gears are intermixed with limestone boulders and native grasses.
As Discipline Leader for the landscape architect practice of I&S Group, I
provided multiple gateway options for Humboldt, a small progressive town in
northern Iowa. Special attention was paid to the local geology, hydrology and
history of the town. Native plants are proposed in all options.

Two Harbors is an aggregate of cultural artifacts
enveloped in the natural wonder of Lake Superior’s North Shore.
It is a community still reeling from the impact of its industrial legacy
and coming to terms with its remarkable history. It is a community on the
doorstep of a new identity.
The relics of Two Harbor’s past are the place holders where the
community’s future will be forged,
somewhere between land & water.

Major Highway Interchange - ese interchanges act as

Potential future trail extension
(Connection to bus stops at Cedar Lake Road)
Proposed on-street bike lane extension
(Close the gap at Hwy. 169 Interchange)
Major Highway Interchanges:
To ensure bike safety, special attention
needs to be paid to potential bike lane and
right-turn lane conflicts. Alternative paving
treatments should be used at these
locations to indicate crossing locations for
pedestrians as well as provide gateways to
the corridor. In addition to ensuring a
well-signed and siganlized intersection,
these locations should also incorporate the
use of countdown timers.
Continuous On-Street Bike Lanes:
Much of the eastern portion of the Minnetonka Blvd. corridor
maintains an on-street bike lane. Closing the gaps in the
corridor as well as extending on-street bike lanes west to
Minnetonka City Hall is a high priority. is action will create a
continous west-east bike thouroughfare, promote local
regional bicycle networks, create connections to regional trails,
link the city halls of Minnetonka St. Louis Park and promote
the overall concept of “Link to the Lakes.” Signage and striping
improvements will be made throughout the entire length of the
corridor to promote a consistant theme.
Primary Road Intersections:
Due to high-moderate volume at these
intersections, countdown clocks should be
utilized. Alternative pavings should also be
considered for crosswalks. Reduced curb
radii, curb bumpouts curb extensions can
be used to reduce the speed at which cars turn
corners as well as reduce the crossing distance
for peds. ese techniques could provide
additional room for landscaping, but need
not create conflicts with the on-street bike
lane. Crosswalk flags may also be considered
at intersections with high pedestrian activity.
Other Intersections:
In many cases, the improvements to
these intersections may be very
similar to that of the “Primary Road
Intersections.” is will need to be
evaluated on a case by case basis.
Other Crossings:
Crossings may be needed for locations
other than intersections, such as certain
bus stops and areas that have pedestrian
activity areas on both sides of the road.
Techniques to address this situation
include grade-seperated crossings
(bridges tunnels), pedestrian refuge
islands, signalized and/or raised
crosswalks and a mid-block narrowing
of the road. ese options will need to
be evaluated on a case by case basis.

Expansion
Gateways:
e improvement of gateways
reinforces the notion of the
corridor and can be accomplished
in many ways, including
landscaping, signage, sculptural
pieces, and overhead markers. e
size and scale of gateways will
respond to their location. Gateways
at the major highways will provide
much grander statements than
those at smaller intersecting streets.
Gateways into Minnetonka may
take on a more rural character
while those to St. Louis Park will
have a more urban feel.
Interpretive Features:
Public art and interpretive
features lend a unique
character to communities.
ese features can draw from
historical events and places
or simply be celebrations of
art and landscape. General
locations are identified for
locating such features.
However, careful
consideration should be
made to determine the size,
scale and “fit” of these
features to their location.
Street Lighting:
Street lights contribute to the
overall character of the corridor
during the day as well as at night.
ematic lamposts can be
selected, incorporating signage
and landscape planters. ere is
opportunity for these lamposts to
retain a commonality that
supports the corridor as a whole
in addition to providing specific
identification to certain
communities, neighborhoods or
districts. Street lighting should be
considered from the pedestrian
scale and light levels should be
chosen to provide safe usage of
the corridor, but not disrupt the
rural character of many locations.
Viewsheds:
e abundance of natural
and scenic resources along
the corridor provide many
locations where outstanding
views can be found. In some
areas this naturally exists. In
other areas, the landscape
needs to addressed to achieve
this. is may include
selective cutting and clearing
of shrub layers and
understory and additional
planting to frame views.
ese decisions will need to
be specific to each location.
Commercial
Redevelopment:
Most commercial properties
along the corridor are located at
the identified intersections and
vary in size and condition. Many
could benefit from updates to
their facades and improvements
to their overall appearance. In
some cases, redevelopment of
entire commercial intersections
may be desirable. In these cases,
there is a lot of opportunity to
cooperate with developers to
help contribute to the quality of
the overall corridor.
Redevelopment opportunities
will need to be further examined.

Many areas along the corridor
retain a very rural and natural feel.
Minimal planting is required in
these areas, and in some cases no
planting may be required at all.
e trees in these areas are
intended frame the corridor and
frame views to adjacent natural
features, including Minnehaha
Creek and wetlands. Buckthorn
removal may be needed in some
areas as well as selective cutting of
understory vegetation.
e more “urban” areas of the
corridor require a more manicured
and formal planting scheme. is
predominately occurs in the
eastern portion of St. Louis Park,
but may also be appropriate at
certain commercial districts. Tree
planting in these areas should
reflect a typical 40ft. on-center
street tree planting scheme along
both sides of the road. Tree
selection for these areas should also
reflect a more formal character.

contract with the red twigs
of the gray dogwood.
PJM Rhododendron
- clusters of fragrant
lavender flowers in early-spring
- evergreen (purple tones in
winter)
The showy flowers in spring
will accent the entry drive and
the foliage will provide winter
interest.
Gro-Low Sumac
- dense, low-growing
- intense orange/red fall
color
- fragrant leaves
The low-growing shrub
will stabilize areas of the
embankment along the
entry drive and create a
red carpet in the fall.

The image boards above were compiled to showcase plant selection
for a new entry drive planting plan for the Minikahda Country Club in
Minneapolis. Emphasis was put on creating a vibrant palette of plants with
varying textures and colors to provide seasonal interest throughout the
entire year.

Annual Plant Beds / Potscaping While working for a local greenhouse and nursery, I designed seasonal
Lynde Greenhouse
plant beds and pot arrangements for some of the premiere commercial
properties in the Twin Cities metro. As Landscape Division Manager, I
accepted the MNLA Grand Honor Award on behalf of the company in
2010 for Landscape Maintenance/Management.

Annual Plant Beds / Potscaping I was responsible for planning and designing all of the seasonal beds and
Lynde Greenhouse
pots at Grand View Lodge Resort in Nisswa, Minnesota. I also oversaw
installation and returned to evaluate throughout the year.

The following is
a philosophical
investigation of three
European port cities;
Lisbon, Barcelona and
Venice during the
spring of 2005. Utilizing
photography and
written word, these
cities are examined
through the following
lenses:
Water
Land
Materials
Edges
Geometry
Light
Gastronomy
White light is a composite of all colors.
Buildings and cities are composites of many
efforts that are never seen.

The drama created by light can steal our eyes
and render us speechless.

During the spring of 2005, I studied abroad in 3 port cities (Lisbon,
Barcelona and Venice). I documented my time through photography and
writing. I compiled my photos and writings to create a treatise on the
subjects of water, land, materials, edges, geometry, light and gastronomy.
The images above are excerpts from my book.
