8th & 11th Street Redevelopments, Austin, Texas

---

Garcia Design, Inc. provided landscape architecture services and permit support for streetscape improvements. The projects included renovation of sidewalks, relocation of utilities, new trees, new bus stops, signage, and monuments to create a pedestrian-friendly environment. The 11th Street corridor has seen significant redevelopment and the area is gradually transforming into the vibrant and pedestrian friendly neighborhood envisioned by the plans. The 8th Street project runs from Congress Avenue to West Avenue. A new water-efficient irrigation system spanning several city blocks congested with existing infrastructure was installed. The 68 trees and landscape areas will eventually not use any potable water for irrigation and will be connected to a reclaimed water supply system incorporated into the design.
