a~rv t•„ <br />:S~W1"Yb <br />CIRCLE PINES, MINNESOTA <br />HKGi completed a concept plan for redevelopment of the Lake DrivelLexington Avenue area of Circle Pines. The redevelopment area <br />covers approximately 50 acres of aging commercial, decaying residential, wetland and forest at the intersection of two busy county <br />roads. The final plan established a denser, more urban development for the project area and includes a continuous parkway offering a <br />better connection across Lake Drive; a new pedestrian trail circling an expanded water quality improvement pond; a network of interior <br />greenways; and an overall streetscape and landscape pattern that recalls natural patterns throughout the City. <br />The Comprehensive Urban Master Plan developed by HKGi helped attract a developer to the site and provided the foundation for the <br />Village at Circle Pines development. While private developers constructed the housing and commercial portions of the project, HKGi <br />provided the design and construction administration for the streetscaping and public amenities, including a lakeside gazebo and the <br />central plaza and clock tower. <br />
