Wauwatosa Village Streetscapes and Parks Overview
Wauwatosa, WI
GAI’s Community Solutions Group led the 2015 visioning of a previously stalled 2014 effort for a complete redesign of park space, six gateway intersections, and more than 6,000 linear feet of streetscape in the historic Wauwatosa Village. GAI’s solutions for the redesign have been a resounding success, with broad support across the community. The project encompasses many progressive ideas, such as roadway realignments and road diets, low-impact rain gardens, shared space street designs, parklets, integrated cycle trails, and reverse-angle parking on two primary shopping streets.
The project was completed in 2019 and won the Wisconsin Chapter American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) 2020 Design Merit Award.
