Council Approves Contract with OJB Landscape Architecture for Addison Circle Park Vision Plan

At its February 27 meeting, the City Council approved a contract with OJB Landscape Architecture to create a visionary plan aimed at revitalizing Addison Circle Park and the area around the Conference and Theatre Centre, in conjunction with Transit Oriented Development (TOD). The proposal originated from the Park, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Master Plan adopted by the Council in 2019.

OJB Landscape Architecture was chosen from among eight competitive contenders. Some of the qualifications of the OJB team that contributed to their selection included:

• Experience developing, operating, and maintaining highly active parks, including Klyde Warren Park in downtown Dallas.
• Experience developing successful park programming strategies.
• Quality of similar urban design projects.
• Experience with philanthropic and external funding sources for activated parks.
• Engagement strategies for gathering input and building a consensus.

There will be several opportunities for community input during the seven-month-long visioning process.
