While working at a previous firm, Jon Altschuld developed the Aesthetic Design Guidelines for the I-25/Cimarron (US-24) interchange design-build bid package. Converting this dated and overused interchange to a modern Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) required heavy stakeholder involvement from multiple government agencies concerned about aesthetic, environmental, and public relations impacts.
​
The project included the restoration of approximately 2,100 linear feet of Upper Fountain Creek immediately upstream of its confluence with Monument Creek. This restoration required re-grading of the creek banks, vegetation of newly created riparian and upland areas, re-alignment of the main channel, and a strategic balance of vegetated and structural bank stabilization to protect infrastructure while improving ecological functions.
​
Jon also led the design of the aesthetics for all bridge structures, the overall site design, trail alignments, and custom formliner 'fish' panels along the regional trail.
