through federal, state, and local funds. Find our more at www. townbranchcommons.org
The Town Branch Commons projects has two primary components – new and improved parks within the downtown area (including Town Branch Park and Karst Commons), and the Town Branch Greenway, the 2.5-mile-long central spine of the project. The Greenway exists within the right-of-way and completes a 22-mile-long trail network that bridges the urban city center with the rural Bluegrass countryside. The Town Branch Greenway traces the path of the buried creek though continuous bike and pedestrian connections, interactive water features, and filtering stormwater elements.
STUDY AREA Town Branch Commons follows the buried path of Town Branch Creek, starting at the Isaac Murphy Art Garden Park at Midland Avenue, extending to the Cox Street lot and Oliver Lewis Way. Town Branch Commons is composed of a network of public spaces, including the linear Town Branch Greenway, adjacent privately owned open spaces, existing parks, and new proposed parks (Town Branch Park and Karst Commons).
This Design Masterplan and Design Standards booklet advances the holistic design vision of Town Branch Commons and describes the alignment, character, and material vocabulary of the Town Branch Greenway. The Design Masterplan is the primary reference for documentation of the Town Branch Greenway in accordance with the design vision.

MIDLAND AVE & EAST END OVERVIEW The Town Branch Greenway incorporates a meandering multiuse path shared by bicyclists and pedestrians along Midland Avenue. The 14’ wide path weaves through the wide right-ofway, avoiding urban obstacles (transmission poles and subgrade utilities) while creating space to express the flow and treatment of water. A series of large stormwater ‘creeks’ are created by tapping into the lateral stormwater pipes and diverting this water through a constructed karst channel, and are supplemented with runoff from adjacent paths and the roadway. Sometimes dry, sometimes wet, the stormwater creeks reflect the hydrology of Lexington and the Town Branch, and are marked by the presence of limestone. Water is treated through vegetation and soil before it is directed back into the culvert below, improving the water quality of the downstream Town Branch creek. Constructed stormwater ‘creeks’ are marked by a riparian planting strategy of clustered small and medium trees that provide habitat value and seasonal variation throughout the year. Where water is not expressed, the Greenway is marked by grids of trees (urban

groves) that provide spaces for pull-over, rest, and social interaction. Midland Ave also hosts stretches of Bluegrass lawn and tree planting, extending this iconic rural character downtown.

CONCEPT The Town Branch Greenway has the widest right-of-way along Midland Ave, approximately 25’-45’ feet in width. Two-way traffic is preserved, and lanes are narrowed to increase space for pedestrians and bicyclists. As speeds are faster on Midland, various elements separate the Greenway users from vehicular traffic, including vehicular Town Branch walls, pedestrian Town Branch Walls, a wide planted buffer, medium-sized tree planting, and sunken stormwater ‘creeks.’ As an overhead utility line remains along Midland, all trees are selected for a compact mature height of 30’-40’. A sewer main is also being reconstructed and upsized and will be relocated within the Midland Ave roadbed away from Town Branch Greenway.

DOWNTOWN & VINE STREET OVERVIEW Town Branch Greenway is expressed as a separated bike and pedestrian facility along Vine Street accommodating the denser pedestrian and bicycle traffic patterns downtown. This zone hosts the narrowest segments of right-of-way, yet still accommodate multiple landscape typologies and public space experiences. Paths straighten downtown, and lose the meander of Midland Ave to accommodate more efficient user flows and equally distribute space between people, water treatment zones, and planting areas. Tree plantings take on a more organized character and feature large, long-lived canopy trees that will enhance Lexington’s streetscape for decades to come. Water is harvested and directed to central bioswales from adjacent paths and roadways. Linear seating areas, urban groves, and pull-over spaces are all present in the downtown Vine street zone.

DOWNTOWN & WEG OVERVIEW Further down Vine Street, the Greenway intersects the zone of World Equestrian Game (WEG) streetscape and strategically expands its presence, preserving many of the large canopy trees planted in this project. The design team strongly recommends evaluating the transplanting of the large canopy trees within this area that were not possible to maintain in the design. The WEG streetscape planned for the future addition of a pedestrian and bicycle trail, leaving a 14’ clear central area for future development. The Greenway separated bike and pedestrian facility extends through this zone, and expands the existing bioswale and planting areas already implemented in the WEG streetscape plan. While the design language of the downtown Vine street zone extends into this area, the two paths change their relationship with one another – at times existing in direct proximity, and at times divided by planting and bioswale.

RUPP DISTRICT OVERVIEW The RUPP district portion of the Town Branch Greenway offers the most potential integration with adjacent unique public spaces, including the Rupp water plaza, the Catwalk, the Gorge, and the Lincoln Passage. The Greenway palette remains simple and straightforward to feature and integrate seamlessly with these adjacent spaces, stitching a separated bicycle path and pedestrian path along the block’s perimeter. A flush curb separates the bike and pedestrian paths, allowing for large events at RUPP and the Lexington Convention Center to spill out into the space. Only minor modifications to traffic lanes and widths occur within this zone. Critical adjacent public spaces feature Town Branch and the expression of water in unique ways – the Town Branch Gorge contains a limestone reflecting pool and the Lincoln Passage leads users to the future Town Branch Waterfall that marks the entry of the proposed Town Branch Park.

TOWN BRANCH WALLS OVERVIEW The Town Branch walls are a contemporary and urban interpretation of the iconic features of Lexington’s Bluegrass landscape – rock fences, horse fences, and karst limestone ledges. Walls mark the extent of the Town Branch Greenway and vary in response to site conditions, performing different functions within the public space. Signature Town Branch walls made of large stacked stone slabs reflect the angled ‘edge fences’ of the Bluegrass region. Edge fences are historically diagonally coursed rock fences, without a coping, that are found near watercourses in the inner and outer bluegrass. Along the Town Branch Greenway, signature Town Branch walls mark primary intersections and public spaces along the project length, integrating with signature banding and paving patterns previously described. Other wall types respond to more diverse conditions, supporting bioswale edges, protecting against vehicular conflicts, defining the movement of water, and creating areas of seating and social space. The shifting and moving language of walls are a critical design element and identity

WALL COMPONENTS TOWN BRANCH WALLS
OVERVIEW Town Branch walls vary in elevation, moving from flush curb conditions, to elevated stone slab extrusions that mark intersections, divide paths, and separate user traffic. Changes in elevation occur throughout each block and create a sense of movement and activity throughout the project. Bands and benches are integrated into the wall language, and interact with

other key elements and project markers, like the signature Town Branch paving. Two alternatives for Town Branch wall designs are showcased here. The top option features the signature Town Branch wall throughout all reoccurring conditions of the site. During the 80% design process, it was identified that a lower-cost infill alternative should be proposed and the lower option was developed for inclusion into the final design masterplan- the ‘typical wall’. This option is reflected in all design standard drawings and block-by-block studies; however, the upper option exists as a viable alternative should the project wish be able to

Multiple typologies of landscape are proposed. A consistent mix of Creekside trees stitch together and provide consistency across the entire project – sometimes in an ordered and evenly spaced configuration, and at other times irregularly spaced. At moments where public space expands, urban groves shade seating areas with defined, rotated grids of trees. Along Midland Avenue, a more diverse Creekside plant palette marks the path of stormwater creeks and stormwater features. Where more room allows along Midland Ave, a

Many existing trees outside of the WEG streetscape cannot be preserved due to poor health or right of way reconfiguration, however all smaller and newly planted trees that are not incorporated into the design should be ‘recycled’ and transplanted to public sites requiring trees (public parks, streets outside of the project area) in advance of construction. Many of the existing trees within the WEG streetscape are preserved; trees that cannot be preserved should be evaluated for transplanting.

URBAN GROVE PLANTING TYPOLOGIES
CONCEPT Urban groves are placed at moments where public space expansions are desired and possible to construct within the right-of-way. Select urban groves may be extended into adjacent parcels with the coordination of private landowners, and are an appropriate method for integrating publicly accessible private spaces along the Greenway. Urban groves have a permeable 30'
groundplane with structural soil below to allow for healthy tree root development. A maximum spacing of 18’ o.c. is suggested for urban groves, though some differentiation by species may be required in future design. Urban grove species along the majority of Midland Ave are smaller to prevent conflicts with the overhead transmission lines, where along the remainder of the project urban groves are larger canopy trees. Urban groves along 30'
the downtown zones are generally narrower in width, sometimes including only a single line of trees. The project team should continue to evaluate these zones for the inclusion of irrigation

BLUEGRASS PLANTING TYPOLOGIES
CONCEPT The Bluegrass planting areas occur only along Midland Ave, where room exists for lawn areas to be occupied by people for picnicking, lounging, and sunbathing. These areas would require periodic mowing and edges are designed to reduce thin strips of lawn that make maintenance difficult. Seed mixes for lawns should be selected based upon environmental criteria specific to 30'
each area. Trees within the Bluegrass planting areas are shorter due to the overhead utility conflicts, with a wider spacing to allow for more light penetration through to the lawn below.

CREEKSIDE PLANTING TYPOLOGIES
CONCEPT Creekside planting areas occur throughout the project in two formations – wild and ordered. Wilder creekside planting areas occur along Midland, and mark the path of water. They are adjacent to and intersect the ‘stormwater creeks’ and karst cascades that mark stormwater flows. Generally Midland Ave wild Creekside plantings feature a greater diversity of species with more informal and multi-stem branching structure and habitat value. Ordered creekside planting areas occur in water-receiving planting areas downtown and still have variability in spacing and tree type, however they are more organized in their overall visual effect. At critical urban areas, for example along the Edge of Karst Commons, the Creekside planting tree arrangement is structured in a more organized fashion with regular spacing to give a boulevard effect. The Creekside planting palette also includes shrub, grass, perennial, groundcover, and bulb planting. See the plant list for the full range of species for application. Reference image

ROADSIDE EDGE PLANTING TYPOLOGIES
CONCEPT The roadside edge is a visual and perceptual barrier between vehicular and pedestrian/bike traffic along the path of Town Branch Greenway. The roadside edge is primarily composed of 3’ height grasses, and where sightlines and snowplowing regimes allow, interspersed with clusters of more structural woody shrub planting. The roadside edge is meant to be a consistent and simplified palette of plants, with a predictable and limited maintenance regime. As the roadside buffer is closest and most exposed to vehicular traffic, the palette is selected to be very tolerant of urban conditions, including compaction, salt, heat, pollution, and drought tolerant. The roadside edge varies in width, ranging from a minimum of 2.5’ to a maximum of 8.’ The roadside edge is not interplanted with other tree species as the roadside edge typically occurs where trees are not possible due to sightlines, soil depths, or utility conflicts.

OVERVIEW Block-by-block planting plans showcase the application of the Town Branch planting typologies along the Greenway. Tree species are called out and spacing and location is shown in drawings. groundcover, shrub, perennial, grass and bulb plantings are identified and zoned within their planting typology, but individual specimens are not located. Trees are located to maximize canopy cover and tree health and avoid critical utility conflicts and zones of insufficient soil extent. Structural soil areas are shown throughout. ROADSIDE BUFFER

To maintain visual unity and promote long-term maintenance, the Granville pole fixture been selected as the singular pole mounted fixture throughout the Greenway. Placement of the fixture along the corridor varies as it weaves along the pathways, stormwater features, and Town Branch Culvert. In wider roadways, such as on Midland Avenue 16 – 18’ versions of the fixture may be required, while off the road, in the pedestrian plazas shorter 1012’ fixtures may be ideal. Many of the existing fixtures downtown can be relocated, as shown on the Lighting and Furnishing Block Plans.
Wall cap light (optional)
Path lighting highlights circulation Concrete insert light
and provides an accent
Path lighting At the pedestrian level, strategic low-level illumination has been proposed with the goal of providing a safe and inviting nighttime experience. Two types of fixtures have been proposed: a Town Branch concrete insert light located at important junctions, and a linear LED strip light located along the mid-block or typical wall sections. Midland Ave. lighting, NOT TO SCALE
At the signature Town Branch walls and paving areas, concrete insert lights use floor washing fixtures to illuminate the signature paving bands and concrete unit pavers. Concrete insert lights can be either single or double sided depending on the adjacent surfaces. As supplementary illumination for intermediate block areas, a wall cap light has been placed within the capstone of the Typical Wall (gabion wall). These together with the concrete insert lights, these provide a continuous low level illumination for an inviting experience throughout.

WAYFINDING & IDENTITY OVERVIEW Wayfinding and Identity opportunities exist throughout the Town Branch Greenway. The diagram at right suggests different types of content to be featured in wayfinding and identity, however the extent of signage will be determined in future design phases with further guidance from the city. Wayfinding should be visible to those looking for information, but not visually dominant or obstructive to the experience of Town Branch Greenway. Signage and identity markers should be visible to different ages of user and visible to those with poor eyesight. Nomenclature, fonts, and colors should be coordinated with the graphic design and branding strategy being developed by others

ADJACENT OPPORTUNITIES OVERVIEW The Town Branch Greenway can be strategically expanded into adjacent areas that will increase the diversity and range of public spaces available to the user. These adjacent opportunities are owned and operated by a mix of public and private parties. For the Town Branch Greenway language to be adopted and integrated into adjacent spaces, the city of Lexington needs to approve the request and supervise the design application and installation. The Town Branch Design Masterplan guidelines for adjacent opportunity areas can be expanded beyond the sites noted here as the city evolves. Adjacent opportunities are required to be fully public and maintained and operated as public spaces, at a level that meets or exceeds the standards set by the city. Individual adjacent opportunities are documented in the following pages.

MAIN & VINE OUTCROP ADJACENT OPPORTUNITIES
CONCEPT The Outcrop is an expanded public space at the intersection of Main and Vine streets downtown. An outcrop fountain made of precast concrete and constructed stone ledges marks the edge of the public space, and is backed by an evergreen buffer to screen the adjacent parking lot. A signature Town Branch wall begins to suggest the division of bike and pedestrian traffic within this space, as the Greenway formally transitions to a fully separated bike and pedestrian facility further downstream. The Vine Street edge includes a large bioswale with street trees that create a significant buffer between Greenway users and Vine Street vehicular traffic. Signature paving extends here to mark the space as a key moment within the Town Branch Commons.

KARST PARK & LFUCG PLAZA ADJACENT OPPORTUNITIES
CONCEPT The Karst Commons is a public space proposed for the existing parking lots adjacent to the Transit Center. While the park development is not planned for the first phase of construction, the Greenway design accommodate the future Karst Commons, planting trees in a linear formation that will form the boundary of the park in the future. Multiple urban groves line the edges of the Greenway in the first phase, and provide space for a midblock crossing for pedestrian access to the transit center. At the east end of the Phoenix building, the LFUCG plaza occupies the former Hernando Alley and creates an expanded plaza area with signature paving, planting, moveable seating, and wall elements.
