Re: Feasibility Study
Proposed Blacktop Sidewalk: Baldwin Drive to Lake Oniad
At your request, this office has investigated the feasibility of installing sidewalks on the south side of
Kent Road from Baldwin Drive to Lake Oniad. The enclosed Site Plan illustrates the proposed
sidewalk location relative to existing site features. As can be seen, there are a number of existing site
features that may conflict with installation of the proposed sidewalk, including
♦ 8 utility poles
4 catch basins
♦ 4 fire hydrants
♦ 4 sign posts
8 areas(minimum)where trees/hedges may interfere
♦ guide rail
♦ grade (elevation)differences along the existing shoulder

It should be noted that the enclosed Site Plan indicates only the approximate location of the existing
pavement and site features within the right-of-way. To determine the exact locations would require that
the southerly Kent Road right-of-way be established by field survey. As an approximation, 1 have
assumed that the Kent Road pavement (26' wide) is centered within a 50' wide right-of-way. This
equates to a 12'wide shoulder from the edge of pavement to the edge of the right-of-way.
I
Assuming that the shoulder is 12'wide, we would recommend that the proposed sidewalk be placed a
minimum of 3'-4' off the edge of pavement. This would leave 3'-4' between the back of the sidewalk
and the edge of the right-of-way.
Under normal circumstances, a curb or germ would be installed along the edge of the pavement, to
direct storm runoff and to separate the road from the sidewalk.
Please advise this office if you would like us to proceed in this matter.
Any questions or comments may be addressed to this office,
