Case Study #6 for UTCM Report #08-14-03 "Making Mobility Improvements a Community Asset: Transportation Improvements Using Context-Sensitive Solutions"
(Presented at the Working Group Meeting #2 - November 27, 2014)
Considerations for accessibility in the design of a trail connection on the Chorley Park hillside.
Key points:
* Must have a firm and stable surface
* Increased slope is more difficult to travel for everyone
* Peoples’ Abilities are Not Standardized
* Mobility Devices Can Climb Hills
* This Trail Will Connect Accessible Public Parks, Trails and Amenities
* Who Benefits from Improved Accessibility… all kinds of people
* Universal Design Keeps Families Together
* The City is Obliged to Minimize Barriers
* This is a recreational trail, not a “wilderness trail” under the AODA
* More Consultation is Required
For complete details on the City's requirements for building an accessible trail, please see the Accessibility Memo on the project web page, under "Working Group" (to be post very soon)

After significant deformation and rotting due to excess water collection occurred on Highway 35 in Owatonna, MN, Tensar's RoaDrain was used because it was equipped at keeping the base aggregates dry and the compressive strength of RoaDrain would be sufficient for long term serviceability.

Fulton Market Streetscape Meeting - CDOT discussed recommended improvements to Fulton Market between Halsted Street to Ogden Avenue. Gateway Arch Update and project timeline.
During the summer on 2012, Livable Buckhead, working with AECOM, met with stakeholders, including residents, civic associations, commercial property owners and community leaders to gain feedback for the design of the GA400 trail. That feedback, along with experts’ advice, has led to the completion of approximately 30% of the design work for the trail project. Livable Buckhead’s executive director, Denise Starling along with AECOM design and planning consultant Carlos Perez, are now re-engaging stakeholders with the new designs.
