Mott MacDonald leads design for $15 million renovation of Niagara Falls State Park
Sanjay Singh, NYSDOT project manager, and Ronald Klinczar of Mott MacDonald display the GreenLITES Evergreen Award.Niagara Falls, NY Construction is now underway on a major $15 million renovation of Niagara Falls State Park, a project that last year won the New York State Department of Transportation’s highest award for sustainability.
Operating from an office in Buffalo, engineering firm Mott MacDonald served as lead designer for the renovation project, which will remove an expressway-type highway that runs through the park, replacing it with a park access road and Riverway. 145,000 cubic yards of earth will be removed for the project, which includes a roundabout entrance, a reflecting pond, a stone and bronze entrance, and 10,000 plantings.
The New York State Department of Transportation gave the project its GreenLITES “Evergreen” Award, the only statewide project to receive the award for the year. The Mott MacDonald team included Heritage Landscapes, a landscape architect working in the tradition of Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted, and park architect Saratoga Associates.
One of the oldest state park in the U.S., Niagara Falls State Park was created in 1885. Overlooking the Niagara Gorge, it gives visitors access to the Maid of the Mist tour boats, the Cave of the Winds, Goat Island, and the Prospect Point Park observation tower. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1963.
