American River Parkway Improvements, Various Locations

American River Parkway Improvements, Various Locations

The project includes pedestrian improvements at Mile 18, primarily the construction of a three-foot shoulder, and a bypass project to construct a detour bicycle trail for a flood-prone area between Miles 20.5 and 21. For the remainder of this document, these improvements will be referred to as the pedestrian project and the bypass project respectively. The pedestrian project, to create a shoulder on the north side of the existing American River Bicycle Trail, is located approximately 280 feet east from its intersection with El Manto Drive, near Mile 18. To create the shoulder, an oak tree that is in poor health will be removed and the existing steep embankment will be graded to create an approximately 1:2 slope. A four inch layer of decomposed granite will be used to fill the new shoulder so that it is flush with the existing bike trail. The approximately 9 cubic yards of material removed during grading will be relocated to the south side of the trail, beyond the existing three foot decomposed granite shoulder.
