DJ&A served as the prime engineering consultant for the redesign of this 1.7-mile street, which included approximately 18,000 linear feet of curb and gutter and 5,300 square yards of sidewalk.
DJ&A developed plans, specifications, and an engineer’s cost estimate for this project, with a primary goal of improving the safety and operational issues caused by poor drainage and horizontal and vertical alignment. The project design included the provision of curbside sidewalks on one side of the road accompanied by bike lanes in both directions, lighting, storm drain and a pedestrian and animal undercrossing in a large through-fill at Moose Can Gulley. Geometric and traffic analysis was completed on two intersections leading to a full redesign of those intersections to improve on the safety at these locations. Fully upgraded pavement markings and signing were included as well.
DJ&A led the public involvement effort for the project including holding meetings with individual land owners and hosting public information meetings.
