Sidewalk Paving/Grating
This project consists of five
segments to be designed and bid
independently. Providing tree
protection, a major goal of the
project, required careful integra-tion
of street/utility improvements
with large existing oak trees.
Typical street/sidewalk cross-sections
needed to be revised to
protect the trees. Supplementary
trees were also added to the plan.
