Transforming Public Right-of-Ways

The spaces between buildings and roadways are an important component of any community; suburban or urban.

Public right-of-ways contain elements that can make transportation networks function better, our offices and homes more sustainable and outdoor recreational spaces more engaging.

King of Prussia District recognizes the importance of these connective spaces. When the business improvement district formed in 2010, planning started on the first physical improvement projects, and in less than a year, plantings were installed on Dekalb Pike and First Avenue that transformed asphalt and concrete into vibrant landscapes. The initial projects made a dramatic aesthetic impact on these transportation corridors and signaled to the community that King of Prussia District was action-oriented when it came to Physical Improvements.

Since then, King of Prussia District designed, installed, and now maintains, approximately seven acres of landscapes spread across 44 roadway medians, community gateways, highways and trails throughout King of Prussia. These landscsapes include thousands of perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses and trees.

Staff and stakeholders are outlining plans to add even more plantings to Moore Park, Renaissance Park and the roadways in between these mixed-use districts. The landscapes to come will further our commitment to enhance the aesthetic of the public right-of-ways that are too often forgotten or simply neglected.
