Site work and paving for a mixed-use development in Homer, Alaska. Conceptual plans call for site work for a road / highway; for paving for a road / highway; sidewalk / parking lot; and sidewalk / parking lot.

The Reber Trail, completed in 2009, is a .38 mile trail connecting the west end of Fairview Avenue to Reber Road off West Hill through a series of switchbacks. This project extends the trail by 750-800 feet by creating a route from the base of Reber Trail on Fairview, along a ridge and down to Soundview Avenue. Securing the legal easements necessary preserves access to non-motorized travel opportunities. Completion of this project will improve non-motorized transportation options for residents on the west side of Homer. The extension provides more direct trail connectivity to walkers and hikers from the Soundview, Shelley Avenue and West Homer Elementary area, avoiding a detour to either West Hill or Mulliken. It also allows residents in the vicinity of Reber Road on West Hill (Alpine Way, Wythe Way, Miller, Highland Drive, Bell Avenue and above) to more easily access Soundview Avenue and West Homer Elementary School via a beautiful nature trail, rather using the much more circuitous and hazardous route down West Hill Road.
