Range served as local landscape architect for this transformative 12-acre project that restored degraded urban watershed systems while connecting Fayetteville's core cultural district. Working with the City of Fayetteville and design partner Nelson Byrd Woltz, Range led the complex integration of landscape restoration, infrastructure replacement, and community connectivity.

The project's technical scope encompassed right-of-way acquisition, construction oversight, entitlements and permitting, and full infrastructure replacement within tight existing corridors. Range coordinated with utility companies and neighbors throughout design and construction to completely rebuild West Avenue with buried power lines, future-ready infrastructure capacity, new streetscapes, and bioswales that capture stormwater runoff.

The centerpiece involved daylighting Tanglewood Creek, previously buried under surface parking, and restoring the spring-fed stream that drains downtown Fayetteville into the Beaver Lake Watershed. Range designed native plant communities, stream restoration systems, and low-impact development strategies that earned Arkansas's first SITES certification for sustainable landscape practices.

The design creates contiguous connections between the Walton Arts Center, TheatreSquared, Fayetteville Public Library, and University of Arkansas Art District through bike trails, boardwalks, terraced creek systems, and performance spaces. Each block features unique native street tree plantings that respond to topographic conditions—drought-tolerant Chinquapin Oaks on ridges, adaptive Black Gum and Willow Oak in bioswale areas.

The project demonstrates how comprehensive infrastructure projects can simultaneously address watershed health, community connectivity, and cultural placemaking while navigating complex urban constraints.
