Following work on the Broadway Streetscape Master Plan, the City of Kansas City, Missouri hired BNIM to design select blocks of Broadway Street in the downtown core. The project is a continuation of the demonstration streetscape BNIM designed on a 7-block stretch of 12th Street. The project creates a pedestrian-friendly environment with a brick paver amenity zone that ties the character of the new street to that of the existing streetscape. A low-maintenance and drought-tolerant planting palette replaces tree grates, and all plant materials are native or xeric plants, eliminating the need for a permanent irrigation system.

The project overcomes a common hurdle in urban streetscapes plagued with subterranean vaults by accommodating large, urban trees via a soil trench that runs the length of each block that will sustain 100-year-old trees.
