CIP8121 - Covell Blvd. Bike/Ped Crossing

Location:	East Covell Blvd. Between Monarch and Alhambra at the greenbelt
Status:	Archived
Type:	Transportation
Approved Budget:	987,982
Project Manager:	Michael Mitchell, Senior Civil Engineer : mmitchell@ci.davis.ca.us
Design Consultant:	URS
Construction Contractor:	Not in construction
Description:	An overcrossing or undercrossing for bicycles and pedestrians is planned to cross East Covell Boulevard. The east-west location is, to the south of East Covell Boulevard, at the neighborhood greenbelt adjoining Carmello Lane; and, to the north, a section of privately owned agriculture property that will have to be acquired. The crossing will fork off the existing bikepath at the neighborhood greenbelt, cross East Covell Boulevard, transition vertically to the property north of the boulevard, then sweep horizontally to join the existing bikepath on the greenstreet that parallels the boulevard. Additionally, a fork of the north end of the crossing should sweep north and terminate to accommodate a future bikepath that would run north and border the Wildhorse development.
Additional Info:	Completed.
