Walnut Street Reconstruction

HWC was responsible for the full-time inspection of the North Vernon Walnut Street Reconstruction.

This project encompassed a variety of different components including sanitary sewer, water main, and storm system reconstruction. On top of the underground improvements, the project included full-depth reconstruction of the roadway including the replacement of all sidewalks, curb ramps, and approaches within the right-of-way, as well as traffic signal modernizations and street lighting enhancements. Additionally, decorative brick paver enhancements were included to tie the area with the downtown streetscape, which was previously constructed in 2016 and utilized Stellar funding. This project was funded by INDOT LPA funds and by the City of North Vernon. The total construction cost was $8.4 million and the project was completed in the fall of 2023.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

HWC led the four-month development of Dillsboro’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, designed around a primary east-west route, with the intent to fill in the missing key gaps that connect the elementary school, the library, and the community park. New sidewalk extensions were also proposed to serve existing and planned residential developments so that residents of all ages and abilities can choose walking or biking knowing that it is safe and convenient. The master plan was specifically prepared with a focus on realistic implementation possibilities. Nine priority projects were identified, with each addressing a particularly problematic intersection crossing, sidewalk gap, or much needed extension to serve a key destination.

This project was funded with a grant from the IDOH’s Division of Nutrition and Physical Activity and was led by a local advisory committee.
