YARD helps shape future of major Memphis corridor

The City of Memphis has engaged the team of Fisher Arnold, Kimley-Horn, KQ Communications and YARD & Company to plan and redesign a prominent north/south corridor in the heart of the city. The corridor impacts the lives of thousands of Memphians every day and includes Watkins Street, Cleveland Street, Bellevue Boulevard and Elvis Presley Boulevard. The project will be a critical next step for the region’s 3.0 Comprehensive Plan and Greenprint plan by setting the direction for the corridor’s overhaul into a multi-modal corridor from pre-planning through implementation. YARD will bring its urban design and active engagement approach to set a clear vision for the streets and boulevards and their development context.

The project kicks off in December of 2021.
