PROJECT UNDERSTANDING: DES. #2201237
This project focuses on the replacement of sidewalks and curb ramps
in the Kennedy School Neighborhood. This area, bordered by Bendix
Drive to the west, Orange Street to the south, Birdsell Street to the east,
and Lincolnway West to the north, will center around routes used by
school-aged children. However, JPR understands that pedestrians of all
ages will benefit from proposed improvements as a public transportation
route runs through the neighborhood and several churches and
community centers are located within the target area.
These improvements will greatly impact the safety and mobility of
residents. The graphic located on the next page identifies key
locations within the project area that generate pedestrian activity,
as well as an initial assessment of sidewalks and ramps to be
addressed.

FIELD ASSESSMENT
Armed with the knowledge of frequently travelled routes through-
out the neighborhood, the JPR team will assess the existing sidewalks
and curb ramps to determine areas of improvement. In addition to the
heavily travelled routes, other sidewalks in the neighborhood will be
assessed for replacement as cost allows. The assessment will include
the condition of sidewalks, curb ramps, roadway turning spaces, and
adjacent drainage structures for necessary adjustments.
PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING REPORT
The JPR team will prepare a preliminary engineering report (PER) for
the City of South Bend that will outline every aspect of the project. This
report will include sidewalk replacement to a minimum 5-foot width,
recommended curb ramp replacements, potential utility conflicts and
solutions, and any adjustments to adjacent drainage structures to
maintain proper flow. Additionally, a cost estimate will be provided to
ensure the project stays inside the required construction budget.
SURVEY
With specific locations for improvement decided, the JPR survey team
will be able to gather topographic survey data quickly and efficiently.
Due to the scope of the project not requiring underground aspects,
the JPR team intends to utilize the latest drone survey technology. This
will enable the survey to be collected faster and safer than traditional
survey methods, saving the City time and money on the overall project.
In the event drainage structures need modifications, traditional survey
methods will be used to gather required information.
Lincoln Manor Neighborhood
PROJECT APPROACH: DES. #2201237
Due to the unique nature of the project not hav-
ing defined improvement locations, communi-
cation early and often with the City of South
Bend as well as key neighborhood players will
be crucial to the success of the project. Hold-
ing initial meetings with representatives from
Kennedy Academy, St. Stanislaus Catholic
Church, and the MLK Jr. Community Center
will provide important information to the
usage of sidewalks in the area. This informa-
tion will provide a basis for developing an
effective design that will satisfy the needs
of the City and its residents.LINCOLNWAYGOODL

DESIGN SERVICES
Once all the necessary data has been collected,
the JPR team will develop construction plans,
specifications, and a cost estimate for the planned
improvements. The team will focus on all aspects
including a minimum 5-foot sidewalk width,
curb ramps designed to PROWAG standards,
and limiting construction to remain inside the
existing right-of-way. Additionally, the JPR team
will investigate the need for minor adjustments
to drainage structures as well as providing a
2-foot HMA patch in the roadway turning space if
advanced deterioration is observed.
The JPR team understands that designing
compliant curb ramps can be difficult due to
various constraints but has experience working
with the INDOT Technical Advisory Committee to
find suitable solutions for any conflict that arises.

PROJECT APPROACH: DES. #2201237
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
With the inclusion of federal funding on this project,
a NEPA document will need to be prepared by our
subconsultant, Global Engineering and Surveying. Based
on the requirements for determining the level of Categorical
Exclusion, impacts from ROW acquisition and Section 106
are likely to be the determining factors. A CE-1 will likely
be required if the project meets the MPPA and requires less
than 0.5 acre of ROW, otherwise a CE-2 will be required.
In the unlikely event archaeological or historic property
investigations are required, the JPR team will coordinate
with a qualified sub-consultant to perform the work.
Additionally, if INDOT’s requirements for a public hearing
are met, JPR is prepared to fulfill any necessary tasks.
RIGHT-OF-WAY: Due to the scope of the project, right-
of-way impacts are expected to be minimal. If any right-
of-way acquisition is required, this will become a critical
path task for a successful project completion. Acquisition
greater than 0.5 acres will also elevate the NEPA document
to a CE-2 or higher. The JPR team along with Dodd Title will
investigate the need for right-of-way early in the design
process to prevent any delays.
SECTION 4(f) IMPACTS: A large portion of the project site
consists of Kennedy Park which qualifies as a Section 4(f)
resource. Additionally, the Martin Luther King Jr. Community
Center has a public recreational area that will qualify.
Impacts to these areas are expected to be minimal and the
JPR team anticipates they will qualify for an exemption from
a full Section 4(f) analysis but will need to be coordinated
with INDOT.
SECTION 106: Initial research has shown that the project
area is not located within or adjacent to a historic district,
however, several sites listed on the National Register
of Historic Places are located within or adjacent to the
project limits. These historic sites, O’Brien Electric Priming
Company and the South Bend Brewing Association building,
are located outside the project limits and were torn down
in 2022 respectively. Any necessary historic property and
archeological investigations will be coordinated with
our sub-consultants, but we anticipate the project will
be eligible for the INDOT Minor Projects Programmatic
Agreement.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: In addition to the other NEPA
items discussed, stream, wetland, and endangered species
impacts will need to be addressed. There are no streams
located within the project limits and no wetlands were
observed during our initial field visit, so impacts are not
anticipated. As for endangered species, potential impacts
could occur if any tree clearing or trimming is required, but
it is not expected to warrant a “Likely to Adversely Affect”
finding from USFWS.
ADDED VALUE: With the project limits of this
SRTS project and Coal Line Trail Phase 3 project
overlapping, the City of South Bend can save
resources by combining the environmental
documents. The JPR team will coordinate with the
selected Coal Line Trail consultant to streamline
the environmental process.

PROJECT APPROACH: DES. #2201237
UTILITY COORDINATION
Based on the scope of the project and an initial site
visit, the JPR team does not foresee any necessary
utility relocations. However, in the event a utility
conflict is discovered, the JPR team has the
experience and relationships with local utilities to
develop a quick resolution. Any conflict that arises
will be known and included as part of the PER to
avoid any schedule delays.
RIGHT-0F-WAY ACQUISITION
As with utility coordination, the JPR team does not
anticipate any right-of-way acquisition necessary
to complete the project. If permanent or temporary
right-of-way is required, it will become a critical
path item for this project. The JPR team along with
Dodd Title will investigate the need for right-of-
way early in the design process to prevent any
delays.
CONSTRUCTION SERVICES
The JPR team is committed to the success of all
projects well after final design documents have
been submitted. We will remain available to solve
any conflicts that arise through bidding, pre-
construction, construction, and close-out. With
our office located a short distance from both the
project site and the City of South Bend offices, we
will be accessible to address any concerns from the
City or contractor through contract completion.

RELATED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
St. Joseph Streetscape - South Bend, Indiana
JPR was hired by the City of South Bend Board of Public Works to assist with the development of a streetscape
improvement project. Central to the project was the need to improve pedestrian connections with the addition of
sidewalk and crosswalks. Additional improvements included pedestrian lighting, street trees, land reductions, new curb
and gutter, and utility improvements including hydrant relocations. Due to the involvement of numerous stakeholders,
good communication was essential during the design development and construction phases of the project. JPR also
facilitated utility coordination with both the retail developer and local service providers to verify the project limits and
roadway elevations matched. This project successfully opened on schedule in 2019.
Fairfield Avenue Streetscape - Fort Wayne, Indiana
JPR was commissioned to help revitalize the Fairfield Hill Commercial Historical District by creating an aesthetically
pleasing streetscape, as well as provide safe access to businesses along the corridor. This project included a reconstructed
curb, sidewalk, and drives along the east and west side of Fairfield Avenue. In addition, several drainage issues were
repaired, and new trees and tree grates were installed. During the project the team encountered two main challenges:
maintaining access to businesses during construction and designing an ADA accessible sidewalk while being constrained
by the existing roadway and building facades. To solve this, JPR held construction meetings with business owners to
outline the expectations of construction and a timeline for closures, so they could relay this information to their customers
in a timely manner. In addition, a detailed pedestrian detour was established. A detailed grading plan was also developed
allowing JPR to describe the slopes of the sidewalk more thoroughly to meet all ADA standards.
Lafayette Greenspace - Fort Wayne, Indiana
The City of Fort Wayne selected JPR to develop the design of a pocket park on the southeast corner of the Lafayette
Place neighborhood. The pocket park design included an 8-foot-wide asphalt trail to provide safe walking conditions for
neighborhood residents who were otherwise required to walk along a narrow sidewalk on two busy streets. Decorative
lights provide visibility for walkway users, and a combination of overstory and ornamental trees provide shade and visual
interest. Along the edges of the site – adjacent to residential properties – a dense vegetative screen was provided for both
aesthetic purposes and to operate as a sound buffer. In addition, all site improvements were designed in a way that would
accommodate for a future turn lane on Lafayette Street.
City of South Bend | PE Services for Safe Routes to School - Kennedy School - Des #2201237 | 12
RELATED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Auburn Streetscape - Auburn, Indiana
JPR was hired to assist the City of Auburn in the revitalization of downtown streetscapes including 6th, Main, and
9th Streets. The focus of these improvements was to provide the community with pedestrian-friendly streetscape
environments, which in turn would increase public awareness and interest in the adjoining businesses. The design
included new sidewalks with paver bands to separate the pedestrian and vehicular traffic, streetlights with electric outlets
and brackets for festival banners, new benches, bike racks, and trash receptacles. Curbed planter islands for street trees
and decorative plantings were also installed, and varieties of trees were carefully selected and placed within the sidewalk-
zone to allow for uninterrupted sightlines. Once implemented, the new sidewalks and site amenities provided a safe,
walkable downtown while also promoting new business for the local establishments.
Pumpkinvine Nature Trail - Goshen, Indiana
This nature trail was created to replicate the experience of biking through scenic landscapes similar to paths found in
the Netherlands. JPR had the pleasure of helping complete this vision by providing the development of construction
documents and permitting for a section of trail that stretched between County Road 20 and County Road 33, extending
for almost a mile. The alignment of the trail was designed to protect existing wetland areas found along the side of the
proposed section, while also providing a safe, scenic experience for users. The design included a pedestrian bridge for
bike and trail users, and a wooden overpass that can accommodate heavy machinery.
North Main Street Master Plan - Elkhart, Indiana
JPR was hired by the City of Elkhart to develop a Conceptual Master Plan for a section of the North Main Street Corridor.
The purpose of this project was to review the existing conditions and transform the street into a safer and more enjoyable
environment by incorporating facilities for pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic. It also encompassed the location of site
amenities such as planters, benches, and streetlights, as well as enhanced the overall aesthetics incorporating the design
to fit within the existing commercial and residential land uses. The condition of the sidewalks throughout the project
limits were reviewed for potential replacement or improvements. In addition, it was found that the area had limited curb
ramps that met current ADA requirement. JPR recognized the importance of unifying this corridor with improved physical
connections and shared aesthetics. In order to integrate pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular traffic, prototypical cross
sections based on the Smart Street Standards were developed; providing pedestrian and bicycle safety was paramount to
the overall design.BEARDSLEY AVECRAWFORD STSIMONTON STWASHINGTON STJEFFERSON STJACKSON STCASSO
