Kim Rhodes brings her knowledge and experience to address each challenge and lead the landscape architecture team efforts. DEA's landscape architectural team provides services to various agencies throughout Southern California including the following.- Parks ollowing: Parks & Recreation Parks enhance the quality of life of those that live, work and play in the communities that surround them. From small neighborhood greens to large community and open spaces, parks provide a connection to the natural environment, and add value to the community. DEA has provided sports/ recreational facilities planning and design services to our clients for more than 40 years. Our experience includes sports fields, open space, trails, playgrounds, and associated recreational support facilities. We believe the development of any park or recreational facility requires a collaborative process that involves the community / stakeholders, business and residential neighbors, park staff, and a wide range of user groups. We further believe that an interdisciplinary approach is the best way to maximize the benefits to the parks while maintaining stewardship of a site's natural features. Because the team is comprised of landscape architects, engineers, and planners, we are able to deliver comprehensive planning and design services to our clients. This collaborative approach utilizes the knowledge and expertise of numerous backgrounds to fully respond to our client's goals. Scenic Corridors and Landscape Beautification Projects The DEA team has been involved in numerous streetscape enhancement projects, downtown revitalization efforts, transportation corridor master plans, scenic bikeways, visual impact assessments, median and parkway improvements, traffic calming and roundabout projects. Our highway interchange experience primarily encompasses renovation of landscaped areas in addition to providing bridge aesthetics, and preparing corridor master plans. Having worked in an On -Call capacity with Caltrans District 8 for the past 16 years, in addition to coordination with Caltrans Districts 7, 11 and 12, DEA is ideally suited to assist on interchange and roadway enhancement projects. Streetscape Design DEA landscape architects have been involved in several streetscape and corridor improvement projects throughout Southern California. These projects involve careful collaboration with the Community in enhancing the design theme and creating gateways, landscape and hardscape improvements, and selecting site furnishings that will provide identity and style to an otherwise 'ordinary' roadway. We understand the planning and transportation engineering aspects of any given project are equally important and we will therefore work closely with team members such that the blending of 'form and function' is seamless. �a U O M M LU M 0 15 A significant and important goal of streetscape development centers on creating a "pedestrian friendly" and inviting corridor with appropriately scaled elements such as ornamental lighting, street trees, signage, site furnishings and decorative hardscape. The selection of items should strive to ensure classic, simple selections which will stand the test of time and do not become 'dated' by their color or appearance. It is of primary importance to create a positive relationship between pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic. The new streetscape environment can be further enhanced by the implementation of landscaped medians and enhanced parkways. These elements allow for'softening' the street scene, framing views and providing opportunities for gateways and outdoor 'spaces'. Trail Design DEA has a strong firm -wide, award winning resume for trail master planning and design. We have been involved in Master Plans for bicycle, pedestrian, and equestrian trails .... to citywide bicycle master plans .... to detailed design and planning for all types of trails including Class I, II, and III bike routes, nature trails, river trails, recreational trails, primitive trails (Cove Oasis), staging areas, trailheads, interpretive signage and wayfinding. Our involvement often begins at the community facilitation stage and then continues with preliminary trail design; development standards; right-of-way acquisition, if necessary; and final design and implementation.

Vista Chino Low Water Crossing Bridge, Palm Springs, California Kim served as project manager as part of a collaborative team to prepare conceptual designs to highlight bridge aesthetics for the Vista Chino Low Water Crossing Bridge in Palm Springs. The project consists of the design and construction of a new four -lane bridge over the Whitewater Channel, approximately 2,300 feet long. The project is federally funded and will require approval from the City, FHWA, and Caltrans. DEA's team began developing four distinct concepts for the bridge. Each portrayed a theme that allowed for a unique yet appropriate representation of forms, textures, colors, and materials used throughout the City. During this time, similar concepts were being developed for the Ramon Road Bridge in Cathedral City. Because the Vista Chino Bridge is located on the border of Cathedral City, the need and desire for collaboration and input was key to both agencies to convey a consistent theme. Upon completion of the four concepts, the DEA design team presented to the Palm Springs and Cathedral City Arts Commission such that each team could consider the design elements, colors, themes, and materials. Bridge Aesthetics and Artistic Inspiration - South Palm Canyon Drive at Tahquitz Creek, Palm Springs, California Kim served as project manager for the design of the proposed bridge at South Palm Canyon Drive and Tahquitz Creek.
