Bernardo Wills led landscape architecture and urban design support for the Downtown Pullman revitalization—a major infrastructure and accessibility enhancement project in the heart of Pullman. Our team helped implement upgrades including stormwater and utility systems, ADA‑compliant sidewalks, widened pedestrian crossings, street lighting, and enhanced landscape plantings. These improvements aim to make downtown more walkable, welcoming, and functional for all users.

Working alongside municipal officials and local stakeholders, Bernardo Wills applied thoughtful design to support small businesses and community life through improved public spaces. With attention to sustainability, safety, and the everyday experience of city residents, these improvements reflect our commitment to creating vibrant, lasting downtown environments that encourage connection and future growth
