Current Project Next Steps
Wayfinding
Location and design of wayfinding will be determined
Most likely a pre-fabricated wayfinding and kiosk
system will be recommended
Right-of-Way
Completed in the next four months (realistically)
We are not assuming that all property owners will
donate Purchasing takes longer than transferring
ownership of a donated property

Future Alignment Study
Importance of Alignment Study
Assure that you have enough property
You want multiple alignment options before you
apply for outside funding for implementation
Acquiring right-of-way vs. not acquiring right-of-waymakes a major difference in cost and time
Right-of-way acquisition is an eligible expense for
federal funds at an 80/20 match
End goal is to make sure you are asking for theappropriate amount of money and enough money to
cover your eligible costs

Future Alignment Study
CSX property affects next phase
Environmental Design Group is already helping the
City in talking to CSX
Even if federal funds are not used for property
acquisition, we still have to follow ODOTregulations when talking to any property owner if
the trail is going to be built with federal funds

Task 3 Typical Sections and Conceptual Renderings
We will develop (up to) three typical sections and design two renderings that
