William "Bill" Young PE City of Burbank Johnny Carson Park Improvement and Stream Restoration This project received the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) Southern California Quality of Life Award. Project Manager and Design Lead for civil design services for park improvements and the restoration of an urban stream through the 17-acre Johnny Carson Park in the City of Burbank. The restoration involved the removal of concrete and asphalt stream channel lining and its replacement with a bioengineered channel. The channel flows under two pedestrian bridges that required evaluation for loads, as well as analysis for scour related to flow constrictions since the abutments were to remain in place. A topographic survey was conducted, the bridges were inspected, the channel hydraulics were analyzed and a restored channel was designed. Other services included Plans, Specifications & Estimates (PS&E) for grading, drainage, access road enhancements, retaining walls, and walking trails.
