Paths and Trails

WEI has designed many miles of urban and rural path and trail systems, including the initial five phases of the community path and trail system for the City of Moab. Creek side paths have included underpasses, bridges, jetties, channel improvements, and erosion control. Urban paths have separated pedestrians and school children along major pedestrian and traffic routes. Traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures have been implemented in all designs, including speed tables, medians and refuge islands, changed surface materials, bulb-outs, signage, and roughened surfaces.

Selected Projects

D-1/2 Road
Pathway Project,
Mesa
County, CO
Design 2 miles of 8' wide concrete
pathway and pedestrian bridge
along an arterial road for students
traveling to and from school. Used
traffic calming devices and different
surface materials at crossings for
safety.

Mill Creek Flood Control & Parkway
Project Phase III,
Moab
, UT
Design concrete bike/pedestrian paths,
riverside improvements, pedestrian
bridge abutments, park trails, and traffic
calming features at crossings, sharp
turns, and intersections.

Scott M. Mattheson Wetlands Project,
Moab
, UT
Performed bridge hydraulics and abutment
design and obtained associated permitting.
Project was through environmentally
protected area. The pathway was soft
surfaced with gravel, narrow, and had to
preserve trailside vegetation. The bridge
was designed so that it could be installed
without disrupting adjacent vegetation
and overhanging branches from trees.

Mill Creek Project Phase I, Moab, UT
Design of concrete bike/pedestrian paths
and two bridges to provide two alternative
safe pedestrian and cyclist stream
crossings, located one block either
direction from the highway in town.


32-1/2 Road Pathway Project, Mesa
County, CO
Design of 1/4 mile of pathway link
between an elementary school and
an area neighborhood. Work was
coordinated with a water company,
two sewer companies, a ditch lateral,
the Grand Junction Drainage District,
and a telephone company.

Mill Creek Flood Control Parkway
Project (Phase 2, 4, & 5), Moab
, UT
Construction oversight and metric
design of concrete bike & pedestrian
paths, jetties, channel improvements,
creek crossing, arterial underpass,
crossing under UDOT bridges, and
permitting. Project also included
design of minor arterial road widening.

Hwy 340 Pathway, Fruita, CO
Design pathway and drainage features
in CDOT R.O.W., consisting of 1950 LF
of 21" storm drain, 1362 SY of asphalt
path, and 2517 SY of concrete path.

500 West Underpass, Moab, UT
Design recommendations for a pathway
under a UDOT bridge as part of the City
of Moab trail system, which would allow
non-vehicular traffic to safely cross an
arterial road.

Ottley Pathway @ 17 Road, Fruita, CO
Design detached walk extension along an
arterial road.
