Mural Mall

City of Three Rivers

Three Rivers, MI

Project Overview

The City of Three Rivers was working to restore its downtown. With a $750,000 grant from the Michigan Economic Department Corporation Downtown Infrastructure Grant (MEDC-DIG), a project to revitalize a more updated and user-friendly park was catapulted forward to attract residents and visitors alike.

F&V assisted the City with the design and construction administration of an open-air, pass-through Mural Mall site at 68 Main Street. Improvements included removing and replacing of Mural Mall surface with landscaping and surface features. With nearly 18 feet of elevation change, F&V redesigned the entryway from the ground up, incorporating an ADA-compliant walkway. Other work included replacement of brick surfaces, LED street lighting improvements and reconfiguring the wooden stairway.

Further enhancements included:

A rain garden.
Chess tables.
Decorative concrete paving.
Perennial gardens.
Pergola gateways.
Seating areas.
Rubberized play surfacing.

This attractive, historical streetscape mural has been noted by downtown business owners as creating new energy downtown, as well a renewed source of pride to the area.
