<br />prepare final plans and construction administration.
<br />The design includes walkways, playground

<br />Ana. The local residents requested that the park
<br />include a playground, a teaching area for active

<br />Turf Removal and Demonstration Garden, Palm
<br />Springs, California
<br />DEA landscape architects provided conceptual
<br />design services for turf removal at the Palm Springs
<br />International Airport in California's Coachella Valley.
<br />Rachel is spearheading the design efforts for a
<br />10,000 square foot demonstration garden immediately
<br />outside the main terminal for the airport. This garden
<br />will demonstrate water -saving alternatives to the
<br />traditional turf lawns for home and business owners
<br />alike. Various planting schemes will be demonstrated
<br />in the garden including wildflowers, native plants,
<br />pollination plants, edible plants, cacti, succulents,
<br />spreading groundcovers, and synthetic turf. Inert
<br />materials of gravel and decomposed granite will
<br />delineate pathways for navigation through the garden.
<br />San Sevaine Bike Trail, Fontana, California
<br />Rachel has been assisting DEA's traffic engineers in
<br />the design of the San Sevaine Bike Trail in Fontana,
<br />California. Beginning at Banyan Avenue, this bike
<br />trail project runs southward along the western side
<br />of San Sevaine/Etiwanda Channel for about a mile
<br />and a half. After passing under both the 210 and 1-15
<br />freeways and across Victoria Street, the bike trail
<br />ends at the Pacific Electric Bike Trail. Streetscape and
<br />pedestrian connectivity improvements along Victoria
<br />Street are also a major part of this project Rachel has
<br />been assisting on. Simultaneously, Rachel has been
<br />working on the landscape design of the trailheads
<br />for this project. Close coordination with the cities of
<br />Rancho Cucamonga and Fontana were integral to
<br />achieve the desired landscape of native planting, rock
<br />blanket, permanent irrigation, and site amenities like
<br />benches, drinking fountains, and trash receptacles.
<br />Contemplation Garden, Claremont, California
<br />In addition to producing color conceptual plan
<br />graphics, Rachel assisted in the design of a
<br />contemplation garden at Harvey Mudd College in

<br />contemplative space for students to relax and unwind
<br />while on campus. The design includes drought
<br />tolerant, California friendly plants, large benches, a
<br />relaxing water feature, and small shade structure.
<br />Morningstar, Mission Viejo, California

<br />efforts for the Morningstar Senior Care Facility in the
<br />City of Mission Viejo.

<br />Lake Elsinore, California
<br />DEA landscape architects provided conceptual
<br />and final design for the 1-15 / Railroad Canyon

<br />construction. Rachel was involved in the interchange
<br />design and processing efforts for transportation art.
