Meridian Boulevard Rehabilitation
CFA provided civil engineering and landscape architecture consulting
services to the Town of Mammoth Lakes for the rehabilitation of approximately two miles of roadway through this resort community. Meridian Boulevard is an arterial street with an 80-foot right-of-way, four 12-foot travel lanes, and 8-foot shoulders. The town requested a complete redesign of Meridian that resulted in a reduction of the existing pavement width and the incorporation of bike lanes, a rotary, bus stops, and pedestrian pathways with site furnishings and lighting.
In addition to the civil improvement plans, CFA provided a plan for landscaping and pedestrian amenities along the right-of-way. Selecting plant materials that are sensitive to snow loads and maintenance will be crucial to the success of the project. Once construction begins, CFA will provide construction observation services for the project. The engineer’s estimate for construction costs for this project was approximately $6,000,000 in 2004. Due to budgetary constraints, construction is not anticipated to begin for several years. |

Chateau Road and Main Street Frontage Rehabilitation
CFA provided the civil engineering design for the rehabilitation of two major streets in the Town of Mammoth Lakes. The Chateau Road rehabilitation will consist of an asphalt pavement overlay with curb and gutter, sidewalk, and driveway aprons on one side and concrete valley gutters along a large portion of the opposite side to accommodate existing perpendicular parking. Special effort is being made to provide a smooth profile for the new curb and sidewalk while matching the somewhat variable profile of the existing street.
The Main Street Frontage Road portion of the project consists of a complete reconstruction of the pavement section with grade adjustments to correct existing drainage problems. This road provides access to a large number of retail businesses and restaurants with almost continuous parking lot frontage that required careful attention to the matching of existing grades. Curb and gutter and sidewalk are also being added to one side of this road, along with decorative retaining walls to be built behind the sidewalk due to the proximity to the main highway.
The project was designed in 2004. The budget for this project is $1.26 million. Construction on the Main Street improvements is scheduled to start in the fall of 2007. No time frame has been established for Chateau Road. |
