Downtown Boulder Pedestrian Mall

Boulder, CO

OZ was part of the team that designed the original downtown "Pearl Street" mall in the 1970s for the City of Boulder. The mall is considered one of the most successful, award-winning pedestrian malls in the U.S. As the 25th anniversary of the mall approached, OZ was retained to update the mall. The new plan included the addition of improved site lighting and signage features, identification pylons along Broadway and at the ends of the mall, the installation of a pop-jet fountain, the addition of a shaded structure for outdoor performances and informal dining, and two new focus areas - the Boulder County map and a sculpted water feature.
