Harbert Road

Chikaming Township envisioned a welcoming and connected streetscape along Harbert Road, a section along the Red Arrow Highway in Berrien County, Michigan.  The vision was to create a greenbelt where local history, landscape plantings, and pocket parks would merge for the community to gather, connect and below. Partnering with The Antero Group, Upland Design assisted to move the Township's vision from early concepts through to a complete master plan. 

The design process blended technical planning with community input. Upland developed streetscape layouts, pocket park concepts, and trailhead connections while shaping aesthetic boards that explored furniture, lighting, paving, and planting palettes. Public meetings and surveys provided valuable feedback, ensuring the final design reflected both Township goals and resident priorities. By balancing function with beauty, the plan sets the stage for a streetscape that honors Harbert's character, improves pedestrian safety, and fosters a stronger sense of place.
