1.4.9 - Multipurpose Trail
This subarea includes updates to the existing trail that may include: reconstruction and
repaving of the trail if necessary or desired, pedestrian lighting, trail furnishings, small
plazas for overlooks, and selected locations for public art. This may also include screening
of the power substation. VHB will rely on information from HL Turner related to floodplain
elevations and restrictions and will likely avoid adding fill as part of any trail enhancements
it possible,
VHB will also examine potential landscape enhancements along the river's edge to
enhance aesthetics and control invasives.
Product: Plans, typical cross sections, sketches and one (1) perspective as appropriate to
define the proposed improvements.
Lead Consultant: VHB
Support from: Halvorson, HL Turner, Lumen Design Studio, Fitzemeyer & Tocci
1.4.10 - New Floating Dock + Access Ramp.
This area will include the assessment and conceptual design of a new pedestrian ramp and
floating dock to provide improved river access. The ramp and dock are envisioned to be
floating to avoid concerns with filling within the floodway, and removable to prevent
winter damage. HL Turner will conduct early due diligence to determine the configuration
and feasibility of this structure.
Product: Plans, sections and sketches as appropriate to define the proposed improvements.
Lead Consultant: HL Turner
Support from: VHB, Halvorson
1.4.11 - Existing Trail Improvements
This sub area may include updates to the existing trail that would include: reconstruction
and repaving of the trail where appropriate or necessary, lighting, trail furnishings, small
plazas for overlooks or pause places, and selected locations for public art. This area may be
explored for potential flood storage in upland areas if flaod mitigation is needed due to
proposed filling elsewhere,
Product: Plans, typical cross sections, sketches and one (1) perspective as appropriate to
define the proposed improvements.
