Sponsor: Cleveland

Project Name: CUY CARTER RD TRAIL HUB

Estimated Total Cost: $7,275,000

Proposed Source of Federal Funds: INFRA and RAISE Discretionary Grant Programs

History/Background: An active landslide on a slope bordering the Cuyahoga River is threatening Carter Road and other public infrastructure. The slope will be stabilized with a bulkhead wall along the river channel. The construction of the bulkhead wall will stabilize the slope and protect public infrastructure which includes Carter Road, the 60" NEORSD

Westerly Low-Level Interceptor, the Cleveland Metroparks Centennial Trail and water and power lines (illustrations). The Carter Road right-of-way also carries several private utilities including natural gas, power, communications and a stormwater treatment device installed by a developer in anticipation of new housing construction. A public path or boardwalk will be provided along the new wall with a connection to the existing Centennial Trail. Allowances will be made for future connections along the riverfront to the planned Irishtown Bend and Scranton Peninsula Trails.

Proposed Project: The proposed project involves construction of a new trail hub on Carter Road, approximately 600 feet east of the Columbus Road lift bridge, in Cleveland. The new trail hub will provide safe connections for cyclists, pedestrians and trail users between the Centennial Trail and future trails planned along the riverfront to the west for Irishtown Bend and to the east for the Scranton Peninsula. The project site is at a key connection point for several existing and future trails and will be designed as a Trail Hub to facilitate these connections (illustrations).

The project’s estimated total cost, provided by the sponsor, is $7,275,000. The estimated cost of preliminary engineering (PE) is $240,000. The estimated cost of engineering and construction (E & C) management is $80,000. The PE and C & E management will be funded with local funds. The estimated cost of construction (CO) is $6,500,000. The estimated cost of construction engineering (CE) is $455,000. The sponsor will apply for Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Grant Program funding and Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) Discretionary Grant Program funding for the CO and CE phases and provide local funds as match.
