Site work and paving for a sidewalk / parking lot in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Conceptual plans call for site work for a sidewalk / parking lot; and for paving for a sidewalk / parking lot.

This project is targeted to maintain sidewalks throughout the city in as good of a condition as possible to provide a pedestrian transportation alternative. The emphasis is on replacement of broken, uneven sidewalks and/or curb and gutter in need of rehabilitation to reduce tort liability and routine maintenance costs. Additionally, staff inspect and recommend improvements that will allow for ADA compliance according to federal standards. A GIS application enables staff to conduct a more efficient and thorough process to identify and prioritize areas with potential trip hazards and ADA compliance issues along existing city sidewalk segments. In 2016, the entire network of sidewalks and ramps within the city was inspected. Since that time, the city has been divided into "sidewalk zones" in an effort to allow for annual inspection and rehabilitation efforts within each zone as funds allow. The focus of the evaluation is to identify trip/safety hazards, missing, and/or severely damaged sidewalk segments as well as ADA compliance issues. These funds will be used to address the repairs utilizing both in-house staff (Operations Division Concrete Crew) and with outside contractors. As of October 26, 2023, the project is included in the City's 2022-2026 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). Per owner, no engineer or design team. Construction is scheduled to begin November 2023. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
