This streetscape project from Broad to Market Streets on 17th Street provides a linear park designed to eventually connect three Southside neighborhoods including the new Cowart Place residential area. It features a 9' wide sidewalk on the northern side, with a continuous planting bed. A small park connects Cowart to 17th Street, which will serve as a neighborhood gathering place.
The street includes two pocket "play" parks per block. This project is unique in that it will capture storm water runoff (roofs and sidewalks) in a water tower at 17th and Market Streets. The stored water will irrigate street trees and allow the landscape system to survive during drought periods. This project was completed in early 2004.
