Malasri Engineering, operating as a subconsultant for Opticos Design Inc., helped to craft Small Area Plans for Highland Heights, Hollywood-Hyde Park, Klondike, Orange Mound, Soulsville, and South City. Small Area Plans address growth, improvement or preservation for a specific area of the city and may address future land use, zoning, design, transportation, housing, or other specific goals identified by individual communities. The Malasri Engineering team provided opinion of probable construction costs for concepts rendered in these Small Area Plans, which were used by the city’s Division of Planning and Development to plan the implementation of improvements across the sites.
