COLLEGE STWERWINSKI ST <br /> | 8 <br />PROJECT APPROACH: DES. #2201235 <br />SURVEY <br />Based on the scope of the project, the JPR survey team <br />will be able to gather topographic survey data safely and <br />efficiently by utilizing the latest drone technology. Since <br />necessary underground data will be minimal, the survey <br />team will be able to complete the survey faster than they <br />would by using only traditional survey methods - saving <br />the City time and money on the overall project. <br />RIGHT-0F-WAY ACQUISITION <br />As with utility coordination, the JPR team does not anticipate <br />any right-of-way acquisition necessary to complete the <br />project. If permanent or temporary right-of-way is required, <br />it will become a critical path item for this project. The JPR <br />team, along with Dodd Title, will investigate the need for <br />right-of-way early in the design process to prevent any <br />delays. <br />TRAIL SECTION <br />To expedite design processes, the JPR team recommends <br />using the INDOT standard section for a non-motorized <br />vehicle use facility. This section will match the existing Coal <br />Line Trail sections as well as enable the design to progress <br />more quickly with less submittals. <br />LANDSCAPING PLAN <br />While routing the trail alongside College Street does <br />not present many opportunities for attractive landscape <br />elements, the path utilizing the abandoned railroad has <br />ample area to develop an attractive plan. In addition to <br />planting areas, including decorative elements at road <br />crossings will make them more noticeable to motorists. <br />The JPR team has experience developing everlasting <br />landscape plans, for multiple municipalities, that any trail <br />user would be proud of. <br />By utilizing the west side of College Street, the proposed trail encounters <br />fewer building obstructions and potential right-of-way conflicts <br />City of South Bend | PE Services for Coal Line Trail Phase 3 in the LaPorte District - Des #2201235
