TECUMSEH — Decorative pavement, public restrooms and “activated” alleys are among the features of the new streetscape plan for downtown Tecumseh.

Planners from design consulting firm Jones Petrie Rafinski (JPR) of South Bend, Indiana, spent about nine months surveying the community and conducting workshops to find out how people want the downtown area to look and feel. Nathan Deig, director of landscape architecture at JPR, told the Tecumseh City Council Monday that input led them to create a plan that focuses on maintaining the downtown area’s vibrancy, and traditional appearance, incorporates different modes of travel, and that will be attractive for years and function well with the many downtown events.
