City of South Bend: PE Services for Safe Routes to School – Our Lady of Hungary Neighborhood Sidewalks and ADA Ramps (DES# 2100025) | Page 7 <br />TEAM PROJECT APPROACH RELEVANT EXPERIENCE <br />DES # 2100025 - AREA BOUNDED BY INDIANA AVENUE, EWING AVENUE, OLIVE STREET, AND <br />FRANKLIN STREET <br />PROJECT APPROACH <br />The area bounded by Indiana Avenue, Ewing Avenue, Olive Street, and Franklin Street is <br />approximately 0.3 square miles and contains over 40 intersections, a school, and a church. Most <br />of the curb ramps are non ADA compliant and much of the sidewalk is in need of replacement. <br />There are no compliant ramps at alley crossings. Pedestrian crosswalk striping needs to be <br />renewed and supplemented in order to delineate safe crossing locations for pedestrians. <br />The purpose of this project is to improve pedestrian safety with an emphasis on major walking <br />routes to and from the local school. Non-compliant ramps will be removed and replaced with <br />new compliant ramps. Pavement markings will be added or renewed to clearly mark safe <br />pedestrian crossing locations. Deteriorated sidewalks will be removed and replaced in order <br />to reduce tripping hazards and improve overall pedestrian safety. Many of the properties have <br />steep slopes coming down to the sidewalk grade and may require the addition of retaining walls <br />in order to safely tie in the new sidewalk. HWC will work to reduce these potential impacts to <br />adjacent properties and minimize any associated right-of- way impacts. <br />N➤➤NPROJECT LIMITS <br />Site Visit on 3/2/2022
