<br /> <br /> ENGINEERING • ARCHITECTURE • LAND SURVEYING <br />QUALIFICATIONS <br />This project was a joint effort between the City of Goshen, Goshen <br />Community Schools, and the Indiana Department of Transportation <br />(INDOT) to alleviate safety concerns at the existing crossing located at <br />Plymouth Avenue (SR 119) and Indiana Avenue. The existing crossing is <br />used by students as well as the community to access Shanklin Park and <br />the Mill Race Canal to the east. To help alleviate safety concerns, a mid - <br />block crossing was added to the west, closer to the exit of the school <br />parking lot on Plymouth Avenue. <br /> <br />Abonmarche provided topographic survey, conceptual layouts and cost <br />estimates, and engineering to incorporate the mid-block crossing (safety <br />island) with rapid flasher beacons. This work also included design of new <br />concrete curbing along both sides of the road with new storm sewer <br />inlets and piping, and stormwater treatment prior to discharge. A new <br />sidewalk/path was designed from Indiana Avenue along the school <br />property to the mid-block safety island, crossed over and continued on <br />the north side to connect to the City's existing trail. Cross-walk <br />improvements at Indiana Avenue were re-designed to improve <br />pedestrian visibility and provide a larger wait area for students leaving <br />school, and incorporated both a new push-button pedestal and push- <br />buttons on existing signal poles. The project also included preparing <br />several easements along the north side of Plymouth Avenue for the <br />sidewalk/path and a new sanitary sewer to service the existing homes. <br />Other project elements included traffic and pedestrian signage, <br />preparing legal descriptions for additional right -of-way, coordination with <br />INDOT and utility companies, and potholing a main line gas main to help <br />design the placement of new storm sewer inlet locations. <br />PLYMOUTH AVENUE (SR 19) TRAIL MODIFICATION CROSSING <br />GOSHEN, INDIANA <br />CLIENT <br />City of Goshen <br /> <br />COST <br />$764,000 <br /> <br />HIGHLIGHTS <br />• New Mid-Block Pedestrian <br />Crossing <br />• Rapid Flasher Beacons <br />• INDOT Coordination and <br />Permitting <br />• New Storm Sewer and <br />Treatment <br />• Sanitary Sewer Design <br />• Easement Preparation <br />• Traffic Signage for Crossing <br />7
