BRV worked with the Downtown Tempe Association (DTA) to create a comprehensive strategy to improve the public spaces and streetscapes of Downtown Tempe. Initially, the DTA sought to bring life back to Tempe Beach Park; but, as the project developed, BRV discovered a city saddled by underused and unrealized public spaces. BRV found multiple smaller-scale public spaces that could improve the quality of life much more drastically with thoughtful, small, and inexpensive changes. Culminating in a final report of recommendations, BRV developed programming concepts fora network of ten underused public spaces, created operating budgets for each of these spaces, established long-term redevelopment goals for streetscapes and pre-existing community centers, and advised on the phasing strategy for all improvements.
