The Garden Way Path <br />segment to be resurfaced starts at Garden Way and runs south along I-5 and into Alton Baker Park, <br />ending at the Canoe Canal Bridge. Approximately 0.7 mile of pathway will receive a new concrete <br />surface and a portion will be widened to 12 feet where impacts to the surrounding environment can be <br />minimized. <br /> <br />This project will address the unsafe traveling conditions of the cracked and heaved path caused by tree <br />root damage and aging. To address future damage to the surface from the tree roots, portions of the <br />concrete surface will be reinforced rather than impacting the trees themselves. Federal Surface <br />Transportation (Urban) funds administered though the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) will <br />fund approximately 90% of the project with City transportation SDC funds funding the remainder. Brown <br />Contracting, Inc. was selected by ODOT through a competitive bid process and will perform the <br />construction work; City staff will be responsible for managing the contractor and inspecting the work. <br /> <br /> <br />The project is scheduled to be constructed from early August through September. Path users should <br />expect full path closure during the placement and curing of the new concrete surface in order to protect <br />path users from the construction equipment and prevent damage to the new surface. Path users can <br />bypass the path using Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd to connect to the path near Leo Harris Parkway or <br />Aspen Street (Springfield) during the path closure; although for one phase of the project, the path may be <br />accessed from Lindley Lane.
