WRT has been awarded the Miller Avenue Streetscape Renovation project in Mill Valley, CA. The firm will serve as urban planner, project manager, and landscape architect for the $15 million renovation. The plan goes before City Council on January 19, 2010 for final approval of the team, workplan, budget, and contract. Mayor Stephanie Moulton-Peters said she was particularly impressed with WRT's commitment to keeping Miller Avenue's organic quirky character intact, and with the firm's experience in designing and managing other multimodal streetscapes.

Steve Hammond, WRT Principal, will present "Implementing California's Climate Change Legislation: The City of Sacramento General Plan" at the American Planning Association's 2010 National Conference in New Orleans in April. The City of Sacramento General Plan represents a transformational change that serves as a model for climate change, sustainability, and green development policymaking. It redirects growth in accordance with regional smart growth principles and California's precedent-setting climate change legislation.
