DIY Street Design...
...with a little help from a landscape architect. Naples New has this account on one very successful client-landscape architect relationship.
A. Gail Boorman and Associates is giving two Florida communities a choice of "decorative light posts, metal benches and trees to revamp streets in the designated area" and set other guidelines for the beautification projects.
They choose their favorites from the design workbook and Boorman brings it all together.

TOD Denver Style
Speaking of the ULI Meeting, Denver developer Westfield Development is using the Fall Meeting to officially unveil a new take on a transportation-oriented development outside the city, called Lincoln Station, the Rocky Mountain News reports. The new development will be built around Denver's T-REX southeast light-rail line (best light-rail name EVER!) and will be anchored by office space rather than housing or retail. The 35-acre site, dubbed a "goburb" by the developers, will have more than 2 million square feet of office space, 2,000 residential units, and 50,000 square feet of retail. "We're creating a goburb village, which is the intersection of urban and suburban," Donald Slack, executive vice president of Westfield tells the paper. The Dirt isn't so sure about "goburb," but we like the sounds of this project a lot--especially since the group is aiming for a silver LEED rating from the USGBC.

TOD Can Be Painful in Charlotte
Developers in Charlotte, North Carolina, are lining up to build a new Transportation Oriented Development (TOD) along Charlotte's new light rail system, and in particular, on 17 acres of land near the Scaleybark station. The problem, according to the Charlotte Observer, is "the proposals all call for city assistance, either through public projects or use of additional tax revenues generated by the development," a prospect the City Council is not too jazzed about, since it's already spent $9.2 million on land near the station. Councilman Don Lochman summed up some council members' feelings, telling the paper that city subsidies are "painful for me to even think about."
