Union Station Landscape Plans Updated

In the month of December, Union Station Advocates was given the opportunity to overlook some recent landscape developments for the Union Station Redevelopment site. The landscape plans identify concrete pavers for the Wynkoop Plaza, though the design team has been instructed to design additional options for granite pavers, an option that the team is still attempting to fund.

The landscape plans also identify an issue of much debate: the trees at the Union Station development. Some stakeholders would like to see the entire site populated with Honey Locust trees, matching the 16th Street Mall design. However, at the Kennedy building, existing plum trees are already thriving. The design team plans to examine each option to find the highest and best use of the site and the trees that will encompass the landscaping.

If you have comments about either of these issues, please let us know so we can pass them to the design team!
