Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Tempe, Arizona. Completed plans call civil work for a sidewalk / parking lot.

The project will design and construct the first 3.5 miles of a seven-mile on/off-street bike boulevard from ASU Research Park/Warner Road to the US-60 bike/ped bridge, generally along Country Club Way. The Country Club Way Bicycle and Pedestrian Improvement Project extends seven miles connecting ASU Research Park along Country Club Way to Tempe Town Lake and the regional Rio Salado path system. The project will link local and regional facilities, five schools, three existing canal paths, two bicycle/pedestrian bridges, four bicycle boulevards, travel across eight major arterials, connect to one light rail station at Smith-Martin and across the Union Pacific Railroad south of Apache Boulevard. It would include public art, enhanced sidewalks, shared use path, bike lanes, signalized street intersections & mid-block crossings, raised medians, a railroad crossing, and landscaping. The new facility will reduce vehicle-ped conflicts, introduce bike lanes and a path, landscaping, and art features while remaining ADA/MUTCD/AASHTO compliant. This project will include ADA Transition Plan identified repairs. The project will provide a sustainable and safe bicycle and pedestrian connection to major employment, educational facilities and shopping centers.
