The commercial heart and main arterial street of the city's resort area, Atlantic Avenue is chock full of hotels, shops, and restaurants. But the public space - looking tired and outdated - were not projecting a sufficiently upscale image to attract well-heeled tourists when the city of Virginia Beach asked EDAW designers to help them revitalize the project.

EDAW conceptualized a unique streetscape based on concrete pavers that brings land and water together through a series of connector parks. At all of these parks, cross streets are converted into pedestrian links between Atlantic Avenue and the oceanfront boardwalk. Each mini park focuses on a different aspect of beach and resort life.
