KINGSTON – The City of Kingston has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to provide landscape design services for the greenspace at the newly-configured intersection at Broadway and Prince Street.
The RFP asks qualified firms to develop a Landscape Design Plan to enhance the experience for active transportation users of the Broadway and Prince intersection. The Landscape Design Plan will serve as a blueprint for creating an attractive, inviting community space at a crucial juncture of the Kingston Greenline.
“This intersection serves as an important connector not only between the businesses in Midtown, but also serves as a midway point between the Rondout and Uptown business districts,” said Mayor Steven Noble. “With the intersection realignment nearing completion, we are looking to create a welcoming, functional space for pedestrians and cyclists to encourage use of this portion of the Greenline. We are asking that the design take into consideration and incorporate the history of the intersection, along with the vibrancy, characteristics, and unique artistic nature of the neighborhood, the Midtown Arts District.”
The project will be managed by the City of Kingston’s Department of Health & Wellness and is funded by the Creating Healthy Schools and Communities program through the State Department of Health. Community engagement and stakeholder support will be an integral part of the Plan development.
Proposals are due Monday, April 25, at 2 p.m. More information on the project at https://engagekingston.com/broadwaygrandintersection
