About Nicholas Pettinati
I am currently Deputy Director of Urban Design at the NYC Department of Transportation. With close to 15 years of experience, I\'ve worked on projects ranging from bridge reconstructions to streetscape redesigns to crafting design policy for the agency. More recently, I have been instrumental in advancing the agency’s design standards as well as work on DOT’s El-Space initiative, which aims to improve spaces beneath elevated infrastructure. More specifically, I\'ve established new design standards for planted raised medians, started a program at DOT to maintain such landscapes, and developed an online searchable database for plants that perform well in the public right-of-way as part of the agency’s Street Design Manual. I have also successfully designed and managed the implementation of multiple El-Space pilot projects. One such project at Dutch Kills Street under the Queensboro Bridge introduced a custom modular fence with integrated lighting – the “El-Fence”, new landscaped areas, and gabion planters that capture and slow run-off from the adjacent downspouts.In addition to my design work at NYCDOT, I am a board member of the American Society of Landscape Architects – New York Chapter, an advisor to TreesNY, and a Fellow of the Urban Design Forum.Specialties: Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Design, Project Management, Public Speaking, Graphic Production and Rendering, AutoCAD, 3D Modeling, Presentation Layout
