Civic Framework Plan • Bristol, Tennessee/Virginia

The Piedmont Avenue landscape design reestablishes Beaver Creek as part of the city. It does not 'reveal' the creek in its entirety. Rather the design allows the creek to 'peek' out for a small portion and creates 'windows' into the cavelike landscape underneath the street. The design also allows a rare bat habitat to coexist with the city.
The design also provides a new 'Parking Garden,' a parking area amid trees on normal days and a market/music venue during festivals.
