Muller performed the civil engineering for First Street streetscape, parking lot, storm sewer, and Eastlake Station plaza improvements within the City of Thornton’s Old Town Eastlake community. The improvements support the RTD North Metro Line’s “Eastlake @124th” station located near the intersection of First Street and Lake Avenue. Streetscape and plaza improvements feature; curb, gutter, and roadway improvements, on-street parking, two parking lots, landscaping, lighting, decorative surface paving, architectural planter boxes and walls within the plaza, a steel shade structure, and other furnishings.

A major hurdle of the project was to improve problematic local drainage conditions. Little to no storm sewer existed prior to the project which contributed to flooding. Muller developed a grading and storm sewer approach which cost-effectively provides 100-year stormwater management. Streetscape and plaza improvements are fully ADA compliant and functional, while also incorporate aesthetic features such as decorative concrete surfacing, concrete planter boxes, curved concrete retaining walls, reverse batter concrete retaining/seat walls, and furnishings.
