Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates - Transportation planners

Citing crime, traffic and quality of life concerns, Borderline residents and Santa Monica staff secured funding in 2006 for a “Living Street” design of Longfellow Street and connecting street segments.
With input from residents, City staff and the Nelson\Nygaard design team, Blackbird Architects/Van Atta Associates developed this concept rendering of the preferred design.
The Nelson\Nygaard team fostered the neighbors’ vision into a real project, creating a green connection between the local coffee shop and Ozone park using a raised roadbed, decorative pavers and solar-powered lighting.
Sherwood Design Engineers, Van Atta Associates and Blackbird Architects were critical partners in Nelson\Nygaard’s development of the Living Street project.
At a ribbon cutting ceremony on March 30, 2012, Mayor Bloom stated that “The aesthetic renewal that has taken place in this neighborhood is a shining example of how the community, government and skilled consultants can partner together to create neighborhoods that are communal, sustainable and beautiful.”
