City of Asheville, eastbound side of Broadway Street, from the I-26 ramp to the intersection with W.T. Weaver Blvd. The project is primarily located within North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-way. Project History Greenways have been a key component of City initiatives and master planning for over two decades. They are understood as critical "green infrastructure" that provide a valuable pedestrian and bicycle-focused transportation network as an alternative to the traditional vehicular-focused network. Greenways are also recognized as green spaces that offer significant environmental, psychological, and physical health benefits. (See Greenways of Asheville) Ushering greenway visions and plans into construction requires years of dedicated, well-informed coordination between a diverse group of public and private stakeholders, including City, County, State, and Federal agencies. The Capital Projects Management Division seeks a Consultant to complete a comprehensive design for Phase I of the north extension of the Re-ed Creek Greenway, identified as "North Re-ed Creek Greenway Phase I". The design intent is to increase the City's greenway network, creating a safe, context-sensitive, ADA-compliant shared-use path that aligns with the recommendations in the 2024 Re-ed Creek Greenway Feasibility Report, the aesthetic of the existing Re-ed Creek Greenway, and City, County, and State greenway initiatives. The work includes, but is not limited to, the design of a ~0.39 mile greenway that extends the existing Re-ed Creek Greenway north towards Riverside Drive. The greenway shall include a continuous, 12-foot wide paved pathway that follows, in general, the alignment described under "Alternative #1C, Hillside and Roadside" of the referenced Re-ed Creek Greenway 2024 Feasibility Study. (The Consultant may propose modifications to this alignment based on their assessment.) In all aspects the design shall comply with applicable Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design and Public Right-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). It shall also comply with all applicable Municipal, State and Federal regulations. A detailed description of the scope of work for each of the mentioned services will be provided to the Selected Consultant at a later date as part of a Request for Fee Proposal. Design is anticipated to be completed within 12-15 months from Award.
