Inner City Christian Federation - Grand Rapids, Michigan
The non-profit housing corporation Inner City Christian Federation purchased the old DA Blodgett building located at 920 Cherry Street just weeks before it was slated for demolition. The restoration of the building and gardens embodies ICCF’s goals for every home renovation and neighborhood revitalization project; to maintain the historical integrity in the neighborhood, and promote values of respect, opportunity and beauty in their work. RJM designed the community gardens located on the grounds of ICCF, developed construction documents and assisted with construction administration.

M 45 Lake Michigan Drive Landscape Improvements - Allendale, Michigan
Funded in part by a $1.9 million Transportation Enhancement Grant from the State of Michigan, this four-mile state trunk line has been transformed into a beautifully landscaped boulevard and pedestrian safe corridor. RJM Design developed the landscape enhancement master plan for the corridor, which included lighting, pedestrian plazas, landscaping, underground irrigation and signage. RJM also assisted with two MDOT Grant Applications for each phase of the roadway. The project was completed in fall 2004.

Division Avenue Streetscape Improvements - Cutlerville, Michigan
The proposed roadway improvements along Division Avenue, presented a tremendous and timely opportunity for the residents and businesses of Cutlerville to improve the aesthetics and accessibility of the Division Avenue streetscape. After completion of a comprehensive inventory and analysis of the streetscape, RJM Design developed conceptual plans, assisted with site amenity selection, and served an instrumental role in allocating grant funds through the Michigan Department of Transportation.
