3. Review Boulevard 26 Landscape Design
Joe Pack, with Parks and Recreation presented the design for the Boulevard 26 median just west
of Loop 820. This project will be funded by the $270,000 award granted to the City from TxDOT
for landscape improvements. Joe explained that his primary design consideration is sustainability
and the fact that this area is an important gateway to the City. The plant materials chosen are
native or well adaptive to reduce water usage. The colorful design is derived from stone retaining
walls, paving and numerous blooming plant material. Joe presented a detailed design with
examples of the different plants. The KNRHB members were very impressed with the design.
Kathy Luppy asked that a sign /plaque be placed in the landscape stating that the improvements
were made possible by the programs of the KNRHB Commission in 2010. Joe asked that staff
provide the design for the plaque and that it will be included in the project.
