Legacy Town Center

Legacy Town Center is a 150-acre mixed-use town center located within a 3,000-acre suburban business park. The town center comprises residences, office buildings, and a lifestyle/entertainment retail center with loft office above. Huitt-Zollars provided civil engineering, urban design, and landscape architecture for this project. A dynamic streetscape is created through the use of environmental graphics, public art, outdoor seating, landscaping, and nighttime lighting.

NM 528 Widening

Huitt-Zollars provided design of the traffic signals at the intersection of US 550 and Sprint Boulevard in the city of Rio Rancho approximately 0.5 miles west of the intersection of NM 528 and US 550. The existing intersection is a three-way intersection controlled with a stop sign on Sprint Boulevard in a south to north direction and US 550 as the mainline in a west to east direction.

May Avenue Streetscape and Road Improvements

Huitt-Zollars provided preliminary and final design documents for a one-mile section of May Avenue. The project is located where six divided lanes are adjacent to the Oklahoma State Fairgrounds. Huitt-Zollars also redesigned a four-way signalized intersection and added turn lanes at two significant intersections along the project route. Noteworthy project challenges were successfully resolved in the design of a super elevated curve over double 8-foot by 12-foot reinforced concrete boxes.

La Pata Extension Project

Huitt-Zollars prepared the plans, specifications, and estimates and right-of-way documents for this 3.7-mile roadway project, which eliminated a gap and added a connection in the County’s arterial highway system. Combining critical elements aided in: the operation within a landfill and the design of controlled access, widening an existing roadway section from three to five lanes, and pioneering a new roadway through undeveloped mountainous terrain with final roadway grades up to seven percent. Additional elements involved landslide remediation, bridge and tunnel construction, and the reloca

Jarvis Road Reconstruction

Huitt-Zollars prepared the drainage study for the confluence of Cypress Creek and Dry Gully and preliminary and final design of plans, specifications, and estimates for this roadway improvement project. The project consisted of the expansion and reconstruction of approximately 4,400 feet of a two-lane asphalt roadway to a 4-lane concrete boulevard section with raised curbed median and roadside ditches.

Arborlawn Drive

Conceptual and final roadway layout and drainage design was provided for one mile of a four-lane, divided thoroughfare that interfaces with Chisholm Trail Parkway (SH 121), Bryant Irvin Road, and International Plaza. Horizontal alignment was designed to be sensitive to the preservation of historic landmarks. Vertical alignment was designed to be compatible with existing terrain in order to minimize excavation and grading. This included super-elevated sections through curves for smooth and safe motorist transitions.

Global Reach Drive Improvements

Huitt-Zollars designed a six‐lane highway through a 573‐acre commercial and industrial park for El Paso International Airport. The new highway is 2.5 miles long with a 120‐foot right‐of way. Engineering services included pavement design, pavement plan and profiles, erosion control, maintenance roads, security fencing, an illumination plan, new traffic signals, median landscaping, storm sewer plan and profiles, and retention basins.

Addison Circle

Huitt-Zollars provided lead civil design and landscape architecture services for the 80-acre Addison Circle planned development district. We were responsible for the design of construction plans for public and private improvements. The project included the design of a streetscape consisting of trees on 25-foot centers, pedestrian scale streetlights on 75-foot centers and brick sidewalks on a concrete base.

2nd Street Traffic Circulation Improvements

Huitt-Zollars provided streetscape improvements along Second Street, including the reconfiguration for two-way traffic from Avenida Cesar Chavez (Bridge Blvd) to Iron Avenue. The project included the addition of bicycle lanes, traffic calming treatments such as bulb-outs, storm drain evaluation and permanent signage and striping improvements. Geometric improvements included realignment of Second Street to flatten a horizontal reverse curve.
