Wabash Street Streetscape

PEA collaborated with the City of Michigan City and Haas & Associates to address stormwater issues along Wabash Street near Lighthouse Mall in Michigan City. Through conversations on the stormwater issues, the design team capitalized on the infrastructure needs to develop a sustainable and aesthetically pleasing streetscape design for Wabash Street.

 

PEA collaborated with the local engineer to understand stormwater quantities and levels of inundation. This led to the design and development of 27 different rain garden locations with native plantings. The designs were complete in June 2015 and construction was complete during the summer of 2017.
