Port Deposit Working Waterfront Master Plan, Cecil County, MD A historic port town on the Susquehanna River, Port Deposit’s waterfront has been home to many different maritime industrial uses over the ensuing decades up until the 1980s. Since then, the Town has been working to revitalize its waterfront and expand public waterfront access, while addressing one of its biggest challenges— tidal flooding from the Susquehanna River and opening of the Conowingo Dam flood gates coupled with stormwater runoff from adjoining hillsides. Through a collaborative public process that included a Town- appointed waterfront committee, a public brainstorming session and a community design workshop, four goals emerged that capture the range of ideas that moved forward throughout the planning process: Increase economic activity in the Town using community-based assets and cooperative regional marketing Improve safety and convenience of linkages between the Town and Waterfront Enhance shoreline access and circulation Enhance appearance of public areas Increasing the resiliency of the waterfront areas also emerged as a common theme. Design concepts were developed for waterfront areas that were needed to adapt features to more frequent flooding while continuing to provide access to waterfront features. The master plan was completed in September, 2018.

Bayshore Heritage Byway Corridor Management Plan New Jersey L/KLA served as the scenic byway consultant working with a committee representing various state and local governments and civic groups to develop a corridor management plan for the Millstone Valley Scenic Byway. Members of the Advisory Committee represented many different viewpoints, all who shared an interest in the route. The Committee included people who lived or worked along the route, those responsible for its management and those with an extensive knowledge of the history of the area. The byway was designated as a National Scenic Byway through FHWA’s National Scenic Byway program. The byway, located in the narrow Millstone River Valley of north central New Jersey, offers a glimpse into the past where skirmishes between the local militia and British troops played a key role in the Revolutionary War. Attractions along the route include the Delaware & Raritan Canal State Park, the relocated Rockingham site in Franklin Township and the 1860 House near Rocky Hill Township.

Cultural Heritage Tourism Heritage tourism is the business and practice of attracting and accommodating visitors to a place or area based especially on the unique or special aspects of that locale’s history, landscape (including trail systems), and culture. Lardner/Klein Landscape Architects (L/KLA) has been helping communities from Connecticut to California in their efforts to preserve, promote, and protect the cultural and natural resources of an area and enhance the travel experience as a means of establishing a nature-based or heritage-based tourism destination We often hear 'we just want to keep our farms, wooded hillsides and small towns just the way they are today.' But keeping a place 'just the way it is today' requires more hard work than accepting change and business as usual. Heritage and nature-based tourism help these communities to preserve what is important while sharing their heritage with those that care most about it. Heritage travelers are interested in history, and experiencing places that are unique, memorable and that cannot be easily replicated. L/KLA has helped communities conserve and enhance the special qualities and develop place-based travel experiences by managing a community or region’s heritage travel infrastructure – its scenic roads, parkways, greenways, trails and heritage corridors and touring routes. Many of these plans focused on leveraging the cultural and heritage resources within a corridor or region, encouraging links and joint marketing efforts between communities and sites to extend the visitor's stay, filling hotel rooms and selling more meals. More than just moving through a community, L/KLA helps communities to share their places and stories—encouraging people to get out of their cars, learn about a community and its stories, linger along its main street, and uncover the hidden beauty and history of an area. L/KLA helps a community or region organize its stories so that they can be told in an engaging and entertaining way– leaving more to be experienced on the next visit.

Route 50 Traffic Calming Aldie, Middleburg Upperville, VA L/KLA served as the landscape architect on a multi-disciplined team that prepared conceptual, preliminary and final engineering plans for traffic calming measures along twenty miles of U.S. Route 50 in Virginia. The award-winning conceptual plan resulted in a $13.8 million federal demonstration grant for rural traffic calming. Traffic calming measures have been designed to increase highway safety by reducing speeding and aggressive driving through roadway design that naturally encourages motorists to drive at slower and safer speeds, while at the same time maintaining the character defining features of each of the town’s historic context. The project began in 1995 with a community-designed traffic calming conceptual plan prepared with the assistance of Ian Lockwood, an international expert in traffic calming. The award-winning plan resulted in a $13.8 million federal demonstration grant for rural traffic calming. The design includes: • Entryway treatments for Upperville, Middleburg, and Aldie • Special warning strips approaching the entrances to villages and towns • In-town measures including raised intersections, valley gutters, and the use of different pavers to narrow the look and feel of the road • Rural intersection treatments to protect left turning traffic • Changes to in-town horizontal alignment deflect the path of vehicles Construction in Upperville was completed in 2008 (above and right) and in Aldie in 2012. Roundabouts at Gilbert’s Corner (top left) were constructed in 2009 as part of a separate design build contract (by others). L/KLA continued its fifteen year effort as the landscape architect on a multi-disciplined team, led by HW Lochner that prepared conceptual, preliminary and final engineering plans for traffic calming measures along twenty miles of U.S. Route 50 in Virginia. The award-winning conceptual plan resulted in a $13.8 million federal demonstration grant for rural traffic calming. In Middleburg, L/KLA worked with the Town, its streetscape committee, and VDOT to incorporate the federally funded traffic calming measures into an ongoing streetscape renovation, completed in 2016. L/KLA was responsible for developing design concepts to ensure the project fit within MIddleburg’s historic context, including preliminary and final design plans for: • Curb extensions incorporated into eight intersections within the historic downtown • Working with the Town to select historically appropriate materials including vehicular clay pavers for crosswalks and matching existing brick pavers for the sidewalk areas • Installing new and expanding existing tree wells and incorporate soil cells, where appropriate to expand the root zone • Detailed design to carefully match existing conditions along the construction limits for the project • Worked with VDOT staff to develop special provisions for specialized project details not utilized on previous VDOT projects including soil cells and vehicular clay pavers Click here to read the Route 50 Traffic Calming Design Memorandum (February 2003)

City of Fairfax Old Town Streetscape Plan and Standards & Main Street Streetscape Design City of Fairfax, VA The City of Fairfax, Virginia boasts a historic core that includes a National Register Historic District as well as additional buildings and structures or local historic significance. The primary thoroughfare, Main Street, runs through the heart of the historic district and provides access to local businesses while also providing a direct route for daily commuter traffic. The purpose of this project was twofold: 1) to create Streetscape Standards for the public realm of the Old Town Historic District which would serve as a companion document to the private Design Guidelines, and 2) to test the applicability of the proposed standards through the development of 30% complete construction documents for three key blocks on Main Street, between East Street and West Street. Key to the project was the consideration for maintaining the current vehicular traffic flow while improving pedestrian and bicycle safety, comfort, and appeal.Through Working Group engagement, public meetings, and coordination with City staff, the resulting City of Fairfax Historic Overlay District Streetscape Standards outlines new standards and consolidates current policies and practices into a comprehensive document for guiding the preservation, aesthetic enhancement, and improvement of the City of Fairfax’s historic district. The document address elements such as furnishings, lighting, pavement, plants, and identifiers, and makes specific recommendations for their placement within the streetscape. “This document reflects an enormous amount of community input, problem solving, and thinking outside of the box, and it is certainly something we will get a lot of use from immediately and into the future.” Jason Sutphin Division Chief, Community Development Community Development and Planning City of Fairfax

Tilghman Village Master Plan, Talbot County, Maryland Talbot County’s Comprehensive Plan Development and Growth Sector Planning Policies called for master plans that describe each village’s character and evaluate the compatibility and suitability of existing and proposed land uses, infrastructure, facilities and services associated with development–mostly infill and redevelopment–within each village. The planning department utilized funding from Maryland DNR’s Working Waterfront Enhancement Grants to support the village master plans for two villages–Bellevue and Tilghman. The DNR program funds localplanning assistance to support traditional maritime uses and the protection of property for public access and maritime-related services, but it also supports the exploration of opportunities for maritime heritagetourism, recreation, natural resources conservation and hazard mitigation within the traditional culture of the historic community. Tilghman’s maritime businesses were specifically called out in the development of the program as one of the areas in greatest need for access to working waterfront assets. The Tilghman Plan focuses on finding ways to support those businesses as an integral part of the village life. Those who live, work or spend leisure time in Tilghman appreciate its authenticity and diversity along with its strong community values and character. However, there are often-competing interests between working watermen and tourism-dependent private marinas, or between long-time residents, newcomers, and weekend visitors. The purpose of the Tilghman Village Master Plan is to balance these interests for the betterment and long-term viability of the community as a whole.

Watkins Regional Park Master Park Development Plan The Maryland-National Capital Park Planning Commission selected L/KLA and team consultants to prepare a master plan for Watkins Regional Park located in Upper Marlboro, Prince George’s County, MD. Park inventories and analyses, facility and maintenance surveys, staff interviews, public meetings, and on-line surveys provided direction and perspective in solidifying a framework and vision for the park. Areas of focus included park circulation and neighborhood connections; parking; revenue and use analysis; park amenities and siting; events and programming; inventory and protection of natural resources; and infrastructure needs. Watkins Regional Park was initially developed in the late 1960’s. Improvements have been made over the years, but many facilities remain as installed over forty years ago. This 835-acre property receives over one million visitors per year. More than half of the park is protected by various environmental and policy constraints from active development. Infrastructure (athletic fields, farm, picnic facilities, restrooms, etc.) is in need of upgrading, and pressures for additional uses continue to challenge the park’s operations. Areas of focus include park circulation, parking, revenue and use analysis, park amenities and siting, events and programming, inventory and protection of natural resources, and infrastructure needs. The plan recognizes the strengths of the existing park and builds off its successes through enhancements to playground and family oriented gathering spaces, nature center, farm/agriculture, and sports facilities. Recommended improvements to picnic and play features include the introduction of social hubs with seating and food options, a sprayground, and parking renovations. An outdoor pavilion is recommended for accommodating special events and revenue-generating programs. Enhancements to the “northern athletic complex” will be supported with new fields, parking, trails, and picnic shelters at the “southern athletic complex.” The Watkins Regional Park Master Park Development Plan was developed with an open and collaborative public engagement process. An array of outreach methods were used, including: public meetings and focus groups; working with an appointed stakeholder group; interviews with key staff and agency representatives; an on-line survey; a participatory dot poster survey with displays at the Watkins Nature Center (WNC) and the Largo/Kettering/Perrywood Community Center; and attendance at park events.
