City of Naperville

Naperville Downtown Streetscape

Updating a Vibrant Downtown

内珀维尔市经历了相当大的增长和重建. 多年来,该地区的建筑标准和街景设计各不相同. 街道景观的改善通常是在开发层面上与以前由市政府主导的项目相结合. 

Reviewing Standards and Design Alternatives

Civiltech provided Design Engineering, Streetscape Design services and Construction Engineering services. 该项目开始于Civiltech审查城市新发布的市中心街景标准以及开发商最近对项目区域的街景设计概念. 设计方案正在开发中,供城市和利益相关者审查, including many City agencies.

Extensive Scope intended to improve the Pedestrian Experience

改善的范围包括彻底重建道路, streetscape and urban design, utility replacement, and new LED decorative lighting. 路边线沿着主街和杰斐逊大道向内移动,将街道上的角度停车转换为平行停车, 增加了步行空间,并允许更多的街道景观元素,如树木, bicycle racks, and outdoor seating. The overarching project goal was to improve pedestrian mobility, access, and safety along portions of Jefferson Avenue, Main Street, and Jackson Avenue in Naperville’s downtown area. 

Providing Construction Engineering

建筑工程阶段的核心是行人安全,并在施工期间保持通往市中心商业的通道. 在项目期间,在正常营业时间内保持通往工作区前方企业的行人通道.

Innovative Construction Traffic Control

交通管制的主要特点是禁止车辆通行,只对行人开放. 路障区域是行人友好的,通过在店面入口使用预制铝坡道来确保可达性,并适应等级变化. 这种交通管制方法也为承建商提供了一个安全的工作环境. 行人路障和临时人行道根据建筑活动和分期的需要重新安置.

Keeping Businesses Open

建设协调的首要要求是企业保持全面开放. Therefore, 拆除和更换店面和门道前的混凝土通常需要连夜完成. 市政府允许承包商一天24小时工作,以适应在营业时间以外的工作.

Providing Digital Rendering

这个项目的社区关系是健全的、有创意的和有趣的. Naperville Alliance以创新的想法领导了消息传递工作,让社区了解情况, engaged, and excited for the project outcome. With construction on the project about to get underway, 市政府已经联系了Civiltech的数字渲染十大最大的网络彩票平台,提供完成项目的图像,以便在社区会议上展示这些图像. 该十大最大的网络彩票平台将现有条件的照片转化为令人兴奋的效果图,真实地描绘了美丽的成品.

Impactful Exhibits

Naperville的平面设计十大最大的网络彩票平台随后将Civiltech效果图整合到展览中,并在项目范围内的中心空店面窗口展示. With instructions to look left or look right, the public could easily visualize their new streetscape. 该城市的展品还包括简单易懂的解释所有的改进.

Multi-use Planters

The design included the installation of planters and trees. 在更广泛的种类中包括更大的树木,而不是典型的街景, 该设计包括超大的种植盆和大量的土壤. The planters were designed to be seating: 2 ft. high with limestone caps to sit on.

Sustainability Solutions

Civiltech的景观设计十大最大的网络彩票平台指定了多样化的物种选择,以帮助保护城市森林免受潜在的昆虫侵扰,这些昆虫可能会破坏特定物种的树木. 所选择的树木增加了树冠,这有助于减少热岛效应,并有助于雨水管理.

Excavating in a 100-Year Old Downtown

The City of Naperville is over 100 years old. 因此,在挖掘过程中有了无数意想不到的发现. 许多地区的非特殊废物暴露在外,该项目涉及广泛的地下清理. 项目十大最大的网络彩票平台包括一名环境顾问,他们带着它来测试材料,并确保任何有害物质都被安全移除. 挖掘还暴露了无数需要解决的埋藏条件, such as old utilities.

Unearthing History

One interesting discovery was unearthed by Civiltech’s R.E.,同时与承包商一起在一个雨水下水道更换地点进行挖掘工作. The R.E. noticed an object down in the dirt. He climbed down into the hole and dug out an elongated vessel. 研究表明,这是一个水壶,很可能是19世纪德国制造的. 刻在容器上的数字表示它起源于哪个弹簧. 内珀维尔市和内珀维尔定居点共同为这艘古船确定了一个合适的新家.
