Project Details

The project consisted of performing pruning of tree limbs/removal of trees, milling & paving, removal of existing paint, crack filling, cleaning of entire path, slurry seal application, installation of bollards, and painting of traffic markings, which were done in stages. During construction, the work area was secured, following MUTCD guidelines for the implementation of any advance warning signs and pedestrian temporary walkways. Floggers were utilized for traffic control during operations.

The first stage of the project was to walk the multi-use path with a certified arborist and assess any areas where tree limbs would interfere with large machinery that would need to pass through. The tree limbs in these areas were pruned and disposed of using a wood chipper. Trees that were called out to be removed on the contract drawings were cut down and disposed of using a wood chipper. The tree stumps were grinded down.

The second stage of this project was to mill and pave two large areas along with multiple patches throughout the path. MFS walked the path with the client and marked out all areas that were going to be milled and patched with asphalt.

The third stage of this project was to remove the existing paint off the multi-use path so the slurry seal can properly bond to the existing asphalt.

The fourth stage of this project was to crack fill any existing cracks in the MUP prior to slurry seal application.

The fifth stage of this project was to get the entire path cleaned and ready for slurry seal application. The path was removed of sand and swept using a street sweeper.

The sixth stage of this project was the application of slurry seal. Slurry seal was applied to the entire length of the MUP.

The seventh stage of this project was to install bollards at intersections called out on the contract drawings. The path was core drilled and then filled with a concrete foundation that the bollards were secured to.

The eighth stage of this project was painting the path with traffic markings. A yellow center line was painted on the entire length of the MUP. Other traffic markings that were painted on the path were white stop bars, yield triangles, pedestrian crossing lettering, and highway crossing lettering.
