4TH STREET HERITAGE TRAIL <br />City of Huntingburg <br />The City of Huntingburg retained VS Engineering as the prime consultant <br />for the 4th Street Heritage Trail project. The 4th Street Heritage Trail <br />is part of Huntingburg’s Stellar Community Designation and the sister <br />project to the recently completed Market Street Park. <br /> <br />The project lies within the City of Huntingburg’s (federally registered) <br />historic central business district. The project served to remove and <br />replace existing 4th Street with a curbless, flex street that will allow <br />business owners to utilize space in front of their business for commercial <br />purposes or parking. <br /> <br />Given the amount of businesses on 4th Street, and the importance of them <br />to the City of Huntingburg, VS along with our project partners, developed <br />a robust communication strategy that included public meetings, local <br />office hours, social media campaigns, weekly construction update email <br />blasts and frequent door to door communications during construction. <br />Other elements of the project included: <br /> ƒPermeable and Unit Pavers <br /> ƒEnclosed Storm Sewerage <br /> ƒLighting and Electrical Outlets (including USB ports) <br /> ƒFull ADA Compliance <br /> ƒBollard Flex Design <br /> ƒMOT plan that ensured access to businesses throughout construction <br />COVINGTON ROAD: RECREATIONAL TRAIL <br />City of Fort Wayne <br />The purpose of this project was to construct a recreational trail using current <br />design standards, thus improving the serviceability and safety for both vehicular <br />and pedestrian traffic.
