2nd Street Rehabilitation

HWC replaced all sidewalks and curb and gutter in this downtown District of Aurora, Indiana. This project included minor drainage improvements, as well as the installation of pavement markings, new signage, and decorative crosswalks using pavers. ADA compliant curb ramps were also constructed and the pavement received a preventative maintenance mill and overlay of 1.5”. Coordination with business owners was critical as sidewalk was removed and replaced and as milling and paving operations ensued. HWC not only designed the project, but developed the bidding documents and conducted construction observation and administration. The project was completed at the end of 2018.

Main Street Rehabilitation

HWC provided both crack sealing and a PM 1.5” mill and overlay in different sections of this Main Street Rehabilitation project. HWC also met with the Town and Contractor to identify specific areas that required full-depth patching.

Project improvements included reconstruction of curb and gutter and sidewalks, ADA curb ramps, minor drainage improvements to the storm sewer system, and reworking of sidewalks and curb ramps in front of the Town Hall to improve pedestrian and ADA access.

This project required design, bidding services, construction observation, and administration. Throughout the project, HWC kept the Town informed on the construction status and involved them when necessary to respond to the Contractor’s questions and concerns. The project was completed at the end of 2018.

Kitselman Trail and Trailhead Park

The Kitselman Trailhead is a complex, multi-phased project that connects the Cardinal Greenway Trail with the White River Trail while providing a gateway park for Muncie’s east side. The project was divided into multiple phases for funding. The first two phases included the restoration and reuse of an 1899 historic truss bridge, trail design, levee floodwalls and embankments, site design, and facilities. The third phase will complete the western site design and includes new earthen levees and floodwalls, a parking lot, site amenities, a trail, and storm drainage improvements. The third phase is currently under construction.

Muscatatuck Trail

HWC provided design and construction inspection services for this project. As one component of the City’s $15 million Stellar Communities Pilot Program, this trail connects the Muscatatuck County Park to downtown North Vernon via an abandoned rail line. Elements included in this project were an asphalt paved trail and parking lot, bollards at adjacent roads and driveways, themed mile markers, trail lighting, concrete rest areas including benches, and trailheads at the beginning and end of the project including trail maps and signage. This trail connection was vital to providing safe pedestrian traffic for North Vernon’s residents from the County Park into the downtown area. The County Park has existing mountain biking and hiking trails, which serve as a natural connection to this multiuse trail. INDOT federal aid funds were utilized.

Fall Creek Trail Extension

HWC designed the Fall Creek Trail Extension project. The trail is a shared-use path running from Skiles Test Park to Fort Benjamin Harrison Park in Indianapolis. The 10’-wide path winds along the scenic Fall Creek corridor and includes portions of the trail within the floodway, allowing trail users to experience the flowing waters of the creek.

Work included construction of a sidewalk across the Shafter Road Bridge, which provided a critical connection to Fort Benjamin Harrison State Park. Project design included coordination with community partners, including the Boy Scouts of America Crossroads Council, the Indiana Department of Transportation, and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.
