Overview
DLZ was selected by the Charter Township of Waterford to provide professional engineering and surveying services related to the planning and design of an extension to their existing Riverwalk pathway network.
Process
The proposed pathway extension includes a non-motorized HMA pathway, a timber and composite boardwalk, and a prefabricated pedestrian bridge. The design incorporates several design components to limit the footprint in the wetland area under the boardwalk.
The pathway consists of approximately 885 feet of 10-foot-wide HMA pathway with 2-foot aggregate shoulders, approximately 419 feet of 10-foot-wide composite surface boardwalk with a timber superstructure on helical piles, and a 100-foot-long prefabricated pedestrian truss bridge.
