Features that I think should be included
● Path from road to bridge
● Part of the path will be a
boardwalk
● Sign/arch?
● Bench
● Plants and trees
● Garbage can
ADA Requirments:
● Path must be firm, stable, and slip-resistant
● Maximum slope is 5% or 1÷20
● The path must be at least 60 inches wide
Questions I have:
● Timeline for the project? I want to finish around this time next year, is that
realistic?
● What are the next steps?
● What approvals are needed? Park and rec board? city council?
● Costs of materials?
