The City of Santa Clarita’s new streetscape design incorporates the towns history into the new design. New seating and planting areas have a western feel that ties back to Santa Clarita’s western history and the Western Walk of Fame plaques were laid out in the new paving. I worked from the beginning of the project to help create preliminary designs and construction documents. Old Town Newhall is a large scale project and required a lot of work to create the preliminary designs’ presentations. Within the office we had two different concepts and I was involved in helping impute and finish the final product for city review. I was also involved in creating the final construction documents for biding and construction. A modern western design would allow several gathering spaces for visitors and be visually interesting.

Organic Preliminary
I imputed the organic hand drawn design into AutoCAD and created
the finished product. I color rendered the drawing in Impression with
plant symbols I created. The organic design was part of the preliminary
design presentation to the city.
City Preliminary Review
Preliminary Plan: I designed the layout for city review of the prelimi-
nary design of the new Main St. for Santa Clarita. I designed two
layouts, 30” and 10” scale. The plans were reviewed by the city for
the proposed new streetscape plan. The City of Santa Clarita used the
designs to showcase the project to the community.
Steetscape Signage: I designed the layout and digitally color rendered
the plan view and section for the proposed signage for the project.
The concept was to incorporate Santa Clarita’s history into the new
streetscape and would have plaques that would tell interesting facts

for visitors and people who live in the city. The plaques locations are located on the two block map.
Bench Design: I worked with the lead Landscape Designer to create the new wooden bench details for material review.
The details were to review the material options and construction costs for each bench.

Construction Documents
My role was to convert the preliminary design into Construction Documents. I used the information from city and office re-
views to create the layout for necessary construction sheets.
Planting Plan: Shows proposed planting for the new streetscape design. I was involved in the plant selection from
preliminary to the Construction Documents. I worked with the lead landscape designer for the plant concept and I
completed the layout.
Irrigation: I laid out the irrigation heads, pipes, controller, and water meter. I used LandFX to size and label pipes. The
plan shows all the necessary information for the new irrigation.
