WRT's Floyds Fork Greenway Master Plan Wins 2009 ASLA Honor Award
Wallace Roberts & Todd (WRT), the landscape architecture firm that has designed The Fork, received a 2009 Honor Award from the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) for its Floyds Fork Greenway Master Plan. The project won in the "Analysis and Planning" category. According to Dan Jones, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of 21st Century Parks, Inc, "WRT has brought a world-class design to these parks."
The master plan seeks to increase biodiversity through habitat preservation and enhancement, improve water quality through innovative storm water management techniques, preserve agricultural land, and measure the regional sustainability costs and benefits of master plan proposals implemented over the long-term. It includes a 27-mile regional trail system that will link the parks, nearby community facilities, and adjacent neighborhoods. The plan also provides for natural and cultural resource areas that preserve sensitive areas for wildlife habitat and historic sites for public interpretation.
