Community Visioning - Leon, IA
JBC worked closely with the City of Leon to provide a detailed set of schematic visualizations to assist them in their pursuit of grant funding.
Leon’s Main Street includes a great variety of shops, cafes, and community resources. However, the area of Main Street to the west of the courthouse needs a more unified appearance and to address the following to create a friendly and open streetscape design:
Mitigate stormwater impact with green infrastructure
Create safe pedestrian crosswalks
Provide accessible curbside entry
Reduce problematic paving
JBC incorporated the use of Best Management Practices in the proposed bump-outs. These BMPs will mitigate stormwater issues and provide more vegetation throughout the town square.
