Town of Dillon, Town Center Walkability Study and Design
Clark & Enersen was selected by the Town of Dillon to aid in the revitalization of their town core through strategic walkability design intervention. Since Dillon’s town core was established over 30 years ago, the town has seen an initial influx of development growth. In recent years, there has been a noticeable decrease in commercial activity and an increase in vehicular movement due to the current lack of inviting pedestrian space. To address this, our team led the process of identifying viable walkability design strategies for the existing town core. This involved public engagement and several meetings with the Town Council. The new approach to walkable design enables the town to update the existing Town Core Master Plan and implement the first stage of a walkable town core transformation.
The project’s final deliverable includes construction documentation level design for a newly identified first stage of the Town Core Master Plan. The first stage includes a new central core – dubbed “The Deck” – that will connect the town park, marina, and amphitheater, and attract more visitors to the area.
This process has been a deeply collaborative effort with the town and the broader community involving multiple community engagement events, meetings with key municipal departments, and constant communication with town officials. The vision for a more walkable/rollable Dillon infuses the space with ‘moments of discovery’ through local art and activating design elements that are universally accessible by all.
