Washington Avenue Streetscape – St. Louis, MO
Grand Center
EDSI served as a subconsultant for the construction document phase of the Grand Center Great Streets Streetscape project along Washington Avenue between the Sheldon Theater and Grand Avenue, near the Fox Theater. This was the first implementation project of the Great Streets Master Plan. EDSI performed both Civil and Structural engineering services during the design development and construction document portions of the project. Design included grading, sidewalk and street paving improvements, stormwater, traffic control, signing, striping, and specifications, along with coordination with the design of the new Fox Theater parking garage. The original plan incorporated stormwater BMP’s that met MSD’s standards even though the project was in a sewer shed that did not mandate their construction. The original rainscaping elements of the project were submitted and approved by MSD along with a Project Clear Grant that was also approved. These additions to the project could not be constructed with the available budget and were eliminated. EDSI was also engaged in construction phase services. Prior to the Washington Avenue Streetscape project, EDSI had been selected to perform boundary and topographic surveys which serve as the basis for the Great Streets Master Plan.
