UNITED CONSULTING // City of South Bend - Safe Routes to School (Des #2201237)11 <br />SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL <br />KENNEDY ACADEMY <br />CLIENT: CITY OF SOUTH BEND, IN <br />This project constructs 1.5-miles of the Coal Line Trail along the abandoned <br />Norfolk Southern Railroad line in South Bend, Indiana. The trail consists of a <br />12’ wide HMA multi-use path with lighting, including a 12’ wide spur for a grade <br />separated connection. The trail will provide pedestrian and cyclist safety as <br />well as connectivity to other existing city of South Bend trails and adjoining <br />neighborhoods. <br />A highlight of the project is the repurposing of the existing seven span <br />abandoned railroad bridge across the St. Joseph River. This bridge will connect <br />pedestrian facilities from Riverside Drive across the St. Joseph River to Angela <br />Boulevard and to the East Bank Trail. United completed an in-depth inspection <br />of the existing structure including underwater inspection of the piers and arms- <br />length inspection of superstructure. <br />The pedestrian bridge will use the existing superstructure elements and provide <br />a 16’-0” wide trail that will allow some separation for cyclists and walkers. The <br />existing bridge will require structural repairs and the trail will be constructed <br />with a concrete deck and have an open railing and will have multiple locations <br />for pedestrian overlooks. <br />Services Provided by United: <br /> ‹Survey <br /> ‹Environmental <br /> ‹Permitting <br /> ‹Trail Design <br /> ‹Utility Coordination <br /> ‹Pavement Design <br /> ‹Public Outreach <br /> ‹Lighting Design <br /> ‹Bridge Inspection <br /> ‹Bridge Design <br /> ‹Load Rating <br /> ‹Scour Analysis <br />RELEVANT PROJECT EXPERIENCE <br />Coal Line Trail over St. Joseph River <br />SOUTH BEND - COAL LINE TRAIL PHASES I & II <br />US 31US 31PH A SEPHASE <br />1 PH A SEPHASE <br />2 <br />US 20US 20 <br />ST.
