City of South Bend: PE Services for Coal Line Trail Phase 3 (Des # 2201235) in the La Porte District | HWC Engineering 12 Relevant Experience HWC was responsible for the design of the construction of the Kitselman Trail and Bridge over the White River in Muncie, Indiana. Project elements included construction of pedestrian trail bridge end bents, piers, floodwall, and slab spans with recessed decorative lighting over the White River. Other project work included a newly paved trail connection to the Cardinal Greenway and partial trail construction for future development to access the Kitselman Pure Energy Park. This project was funded by INDOT and City of Muncie. Kitselman Trail Enhancement, Bike, and Pedestrian Facilities, Muncie, IN King Street Corridor, Franklin, IN HWC worked with Franklin, and a team of many talented fabricators and designers, to complete the $4.3 million King Street Reconstruction project. King Street serves as the primary gateway corridor leading to Franklin College and the historic downtown square from I-65. Decades of disinvestment and decline led to significant blight within the project area. City officials and community leaders responded by initiating a robust community outreach effort. The outcome became a unified goal to develop an entry statement into the Franklin community by reconstructing the former highway corridor into a modern linear park. The project included adding raised medians, curb and gutters, storm sewer systems, interconnected bio-swales and rain gardens, a new roundabout, lighting, and drainage master planning for the corridor and adjacent properties. Portions of the project utilized INDOT federal aid funds. Pedestrian improvements were added along the north and south sides of King Street to improve connectivity to the surrounding neighborhoods, schools, and Franklin Historic Trails system. Project Highlights: • Gateway, streetscape, and decorative lighting design. • Extensive water and stormwater design and coordination and drainage master planning. WE APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION OF HWC AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND ON THIS PROJECT. When complete, this regional trail will connect five Counties and nine communities via 68-miles of abandoned rail. The first phase will include approximately 1.46 miles of trail and connect the existing Ohio River Greenway trail to central New Albany and is made up of three segments—a half-mile west the Conrail Easement, a half-mile north through the downtown, and a half-mile north along the west side of Fairview Cemetery. HWC is currently working on schematic design for the first phase which will be based on conceptual ideas developed during the New Albany Trails Feasibility Study completed in April 2020, as well as conversations with the City in the years since. The project will be funded with a combination of Next Level Trails and local New Albany Redevelopment Authority funding. Results: • This regional trail will connect five Counties and nine communities via 68 miles of abandoned rail. The first phase will include 1.46 miles of trail connecting the existing Ohio River Greenway trail to central New Albany (shown to the right). • Schematic design for the first phase is currently underway. • The project will be funded with a combination of Next Level Trails and local New Albany Redevelopment Authority funding.
