The project includes the rerouting of Highway 136 one block to Market Street. As a result, Court Street will be redeveloped as a pedestrian-focused corridor with improved seating, benches, bike racks, trash receptacles, sidewalks and sidewalk lighting, amenity zone elements, wayfinding monuments, intersection treatments and the additional of some public outdoor space. Planning Conceptual Design: The City has already completed a conceptual design for the relocation of US-136 and the reconstruction of Court Street. To support conceptual design, the consultant will need to incorporate the Homestead Trail to run through the west end of the project, develop a conceptual layout for the improved storm drainage system, develop an access management plan for the Farmer’s Cooperative grain elevator located to the south of the project between 2nd and 3rd Streets, update corridor and intersection analyses to consider current and future traffic demands. The concepts should show roadway cross section, aesthetics, and any other necessary information. This task includes all work items necessary to prepare a preferred concept along with a Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA).
