Redwood City Post Office Annex, Landscape Architectural Services RBA pg.2 LIST OF RECENT COMMERCIAL SCALE PROJECTS BY RBA PROJECT LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE BUDGET ($) Martinez Intermodal Transportation Facilitv./YJartinez. CA 2001 ($1.5~ This new facility is a major transportation hub providing service to citizens throughout Contra Costa County and the East Bay. It includes a new 6000 square foot station building for Amtrak and local commuter rails, a bus transfer area, 175 car parking lot, bike lockers, and pedestrian connectors to the historic downtown area of Martinez. As the project Landscape Architects, RBA designed and detailed the hardscape and plaza areas, provided planting and irrigation design, and selected site furnishings. An additional aspect of this project included a restoration of the adjacent Alhambra creek channel to improve winter storm capacity. RBA worked in conjunction with the team Biologist, team Hydrologist and various public agencies to provide riparian plantings at the creek banks and terraces. These native plantings once established will be a major improvement in wildlife habitat and provide recreational opportunities for the entire community.

The projects included remodeled corporate offices and new manufacturing facilities. At the remodeled offices, preservation of existing large trees in the existing courtyard was the key to a wonderfully shaded patio garden for employee lunch breaks and gatherings. This project was awarded "Best Refurbished Office Landscape" from the City of San Carlos Planning Commission in 2000. Landscape work on the new 30,000 sf manufacturing facility included a roof terrace garden with large on-structure planters stocked with giant timber bamboo, screen plantings along the Route 101 frontage, and massing of ornamental grasses at the main entry to the facility.
