“Although changes in policy and practice at a regional scale are
essential to address environmental problems, it is equally important
to practice environmental design at the site scale, where changes
can accumulate to produce landscape-scale patterns overtime.”
-William Wenk

This project explores the watershed of my youth. It examines Redwood Creek from an environmental design perspective. To promote sustainability, the proposal re-envisions the creek corridor at multiple scales. At the city scale, it re-purposes the creek corridor as an urban greenway, connecting the downtown to the bay. At the site scale, it re-vitalizes the creek by encouraging the community to re-discover, re-inhabit, and re-embrace Redwood Creek. Finally, at the detail scale it strives to evoke the spirit of the creek and inform the community of the creek’s ecological value.

The City of Stockton is seeking to revitalize the downtown waterfront into a river promenade called the “Waterfront Promenade”. Callander Associates has been a key element in the design and public outreach for this project, as prime consultant of the project team. This proposed promenade will provide improved recreational, educational, aesthetic, environmental, and economic benefits at this location, just walking distance from downtown. Along the San Joaquin River, or Stockton Channel, the numerous amenities will include a first class marina, dry stack storage for boats, parking areas, plazas, and pedestrian and bicycle pathways.

In this landscape and planning studio, I was part of a five-person team. The purpose of the studio was to investigate the relationship between settlement pattern, land management decision-making processes, and the ecological conditions of a 27 square mile (17,500 acre) area at the confluence of the Willamette and McKenzie Rivers. We were asked to create a vision of a livable future watershed condition at the scale of a parcel, a neighborhood, and a landscape. We developed goals and strategies to guide our design decisions.

The City of South San Francisco hired Callander Associates to develop a streetscape master plan for El Camino Real. The purpose of the master plan was to analyze the opportunity and constraints, provide a community supported vision, create a streetscape plan that meets Caltrans’ standards, guide development, understand costs and phasing, and provide funding resources.

The City of San Pablo has initiated efforts to redesign and renovate Davis Park, the city’s largest park. The city hired Callander Associates to develop a master plan. The emphasis throughout the planning process was to ensure that the needs of the City and community were met. This was done through extensive public outreach and input from city staff and various other affected public agencies.
Developing a plan that satisfied the competing interests of much needed playing fields with that of daylighting and restoring the creek was challenging. Yet I believe we created a design that enhances both elements. The Master Plan proposes not only to provide additional playing fields, but to daylight, widen, and restore the creek channel throughout the park as well. This enhances the recreational and environmental value of the creek, reduce flooding in the area, and provides an attractive and unifying element in the park.
