1.4.7 - New Cantilevered Boardwalk:
This important sub area includes the exploration of a new cantilevered boardwalk that
would connect Main Street to the existing trail in area 9. The expectation is that the
boardwalk structure would be similar to the existing cantilevered boardwalk at the
Peddler’s Daughter building. If determined feasible, this element would be advanced
through design. If determined infeasible, this element would be removed and possibly
replaced by pedestrian enhancements in sub-area 8.
Due diligence efforts by HL Turner during this first phase will include interior and exterior
building inspections to determine the potential for attaching the cantilevered boardwalk to
the building.
Product: Plans, sections, sketches and precedent images as appropriate to define the
proposed improvements.

1.4.8 - Multipurpose Path adjacent to Railroad
The potential to introduce a multipurpose path area adjacent to the existing Railroad to
provide a formal multimodal connection to Main Street by Riverside Barbeque Company
will be studied in this sub-area if it appears that the cantilevered boardwalk in the above
section will not be feasible. This study will explore an accessible route from Main Street,
paralleling the tracks heading east towards the parking lot and existing trail. This would
likely involve redefining the paved surfaces to clearly demarcate the multiuse path apart
from the railroad track, relying on obtaining rights to do so. If determined to be feasible,
this would be advanced through design development only if it is determined that the
cantilevered boardwalk alternative is not feasible.
Product: Provide plans, typical cross sections, and sketches as appropriate to define the
proposed tmprovements.
