A1.O4 Develop Proposed Trail Alignments and Crossings A. Develop alignment alternatives that will include relational diagrams, and typical sections for the design and placement of bicycle and pedestrian facilities to include alignment plan options, connections, and right-of-way cross sections for the following corridors: 1. Northshore Trail generally between Angela Boulevard through Michigan Street intersection to the East Bank Trail. 2. Lafayette Trail north of the St. Joseph River through the Triangle neighborhood for connectivity generally between Northshore Drive and Angela Boulevard. Lafayette Trail will provide a connection to East Bank Trail, Coal Line Trail, Northshore Trail and a shared -use bridge crossing St. Joseph River at or near Lafayette Street. 3. Riverside Trail beginning near the Marion Street and Michigan intersection continuing north along Riverside Drive to the south approach of the Michigan Street Bridge. B. Develop preliminary bridge concepts for the St. Joseph River bicycle/pedestrian bridges to include preliminary bridge location and alignment, preliminary elevations and structure type, and connections to trail system for the following: 1. Lafayette Boulevard Bridge that will connect the south and north sides of the river with a bicycle/pedestrian bridge at Lafayette Boulevard. Initial concepts will consider previous preliminary concepts and efforts prepared by others as a student project at University of Notre Dame. 2. East Bank Trail Bridge that will connect the west and east sides of the river at a location in the vicinity of Marion and Bartlett Streets to link the existing East Bank Trail to the proposed Riverside Trail. C. Efforts that will be performed as may be appropriate with each item described in A1.O4 A and B include the following: 1. Identify and review alignment location(s) 2. Review vertical grades, transitions, and general compliance. 3. Review constraints, intersections and crossing locations 4. Identify connectivity nodes, overlooks and other opportunity features. 5. Develop typical section(s) 6. Establish preliminary alternate horizontal/vertical alignments 7. Estimate construction requirements 8. Review ADA compliance at nodes/crossings 9. Secure supplemental topographic data as described in A1.O1 item B as may be required.
