Jensen Design worked with Moule & Polyzoides Town Planning consultants in the public participation charette process to assist with engineering and town planning design. Upon formalizing the needs of the City, Jensen’s engineering design team led by Project Manager Susanne Cooper designed and produced detailed Improvement Plans for the Lancaster Boulevard corridor under contract with Fong Hart Schneider + Partners out of Costa Mesa.
The overall project resulted in revitalizing a dilapidated downtown corridor into a vibrant mixed-use district through public investment in streetscape, civic facilities, and private investment in housing and mixed-use projects. It’s been reported revenue is up 96%, traffic collisions cut in half and forty-nine new businesses have moved to the area, bringing over $273 million in economic output, 2,000 jobs and community pride to the heart of the community.
