• 1.5 MGD plant expansion

• Project Cost: $7.5 million

• Completed in 2005

The $7.5 million Michigan Road Wastewater Treatment Plan Expansion project included planning, design and construction phases.

A master plan was created with the goal of allowing up to 12 MGD treatment capacity on the existing plant site for the fast-growing area of northwest of Indianapolis.

The project included the design of a 1.5 MGD plant expansion to bring the average plant capacity to 2.55 MGD. The design included a state-of-the-art preliminary treatment building with odor control, vertical loop reactors to handle peak flows, a secondary clarifier, a return activated sludge pumping station, a chemical feed system, solids-handling improvements, a UV disinfection system and post aeration. The three existing secondary clarifiers were retrofitted with effluent launder covers and the weirs were modified. Due to the rapid growth of the district service area, emphasis was placed on the expandability of each structure, with many sized for the next expansion.

Due to the plant’s need to remain in service while the new facilities were constructed, the project was completed in a staggered construction sequence.

TRANSPORTATION


Twenty five years ago, the city of Princeton constructed a grade separated overpass on Brumfield Avenue in order to provide a route that vehicles could utilize to travel through the city when the train tracks were active. The east end of this overpass terminates at the intersection of Brumfield and Embree Streets. Embree Street serves as the main point of access to local school facilities, the Gibson County fairgrounds and Lincoln Park north of the intersection. Over the years, traffic at this intersection worsened to a poor level of service.

TRANSPORTATION

HWC assisted the city of Princeton in developing a solution to congestion at one of the most utilized intersections in the city.

More than 50 trains per day pass through Princeton, essentially cutting the city in half and causing delays and congestion.

HWC identified a modern roundabout as the best solution to address this problem. Services provided by HWC for the project included design, coordination with local utilities, bidding services and construction inspection.

The roundabout was sized to handle fire trucks, semi-truck and farm machinery traffic. Improvements included 300 feet of urban roadway on each approach, a new storm drainage system and accommodations for lighting and water features in the interior of the roundabout. The locally-funded project was constructed in 2008 for a total cost of $464,000.

Upon project completion, the city added a waterfall and landscaping in the interior and created a pocket park on the southwest corner of the intersection. While the local citizens were initially wary of the functionality of the roundabout at this location, it has proven to be the correct solution. Traffic now flows without disruption, eliminating congestion and traffic delays at this intersection.

HWC developed a Master Plan to be used by the city of West Lafayette and the school corporation to coordinate future Safe Routes to Schools activities and events. Evaluation of existing transportation modes and routes to and from the school facilities within the West Lafayette Community School Corporation was completed. As a result of the study, recommendations were made for ways to improve and enhance the safety and walkability of these routes. Key stakeholders and community members were engaged for comments, concerns and feedback throughout the process.

TRANSPORTATION

The Safe Routes to Schools Infrastructure project improved pedestrian access around Cumberland Elementary School and Happy Hollow Elementary School.

Cumberland Elementary School improvements include two crosswalks along Cumberland Avenue, new curb ramps and sidewalks and and solar-powered flashing school zone beacons. One crosswalk was relocated to improve its visibility to vehicular traffic leaving the school parking lot. Surface sidewalks were constructed to provide connectivity between the walkways on the campus and street.

Happy Hollow Elementary School updates include three crosswalks. These crosswalks were improved by constructing new curb ramps, crosswalk pavement markings and solar-powered flashing school zone beacons. A crosswalk on New Salisbury Street is in the middle of a steep vertical grade, so the flashing beacons provide advanced warning and security for the students crossing at this location.

The flashing beacons used at each school are programmable to allow school personnel to adjust the timing for those days when school has a special schedule.

These improvements were recognized in an award received by the City of West Lafayette for the benefits from utilization of Safe Routes to Schools funding.

TRANSPORTATION

Designed and administered by HWC, the Concord Road Improvements project began at the intersection with CR 350 S (Veterans Memorial Parkway) and extended north approximately 300 feet south of the intersection with Brady Lane in the city of Lafayette. The total length of the project was 0.961 miles and the construction cost was $2.6 million.

Improvements included widening the existing two lane roadway to provide four 11 feet wide travel lanes and providing five lanes with a left turn lane at the intersection of Concord Road and Veterans Memorial Parkway. The active CSX rail crossing within the limits of the project was modified to accommodate a future “silent crossing,” limiting the number of times the trains will be allowed to sound their horns. The project incorporated environmentally desirable features. For example, the project drainage system utilized grasses and plantings to absorb a portion of the runoff and improve water quality before it entered into a storm sewer system. In addition, the project used the largest quantity to date (in Indiana) of permeable concrete for construction of a multi-use path along the west side of the roadway. This permeable concrete will absorb water, reducing runoff during typical rainstorm events.

After reviewing overall priorities, North Vernon’s 2009 Comprehensive Plan identified streetscape improvements in the downtown area as a high priority. The Comprehensive Plan specifically recommended beginning with the triangular block in the heart of the downtown bounded by Madison, Walnut and O&M Streets.

This project implemented the vision recommended in the Comprehensive Plan by constructing those improvements. Work included Madison Street (between US 50 and Poplar Street), Walnut Street (from US 50 to O&M Street) and O&M Street (from 4th to 5th Streets). Additionally, new sidewalks, curbs, lighting, signage, wayfinding, and related work was completed on these streets. Historic brick pavements on O&M Street also were preserved.

A specific focus of the project was improving pedestrian walkability in the downtown area. This was created by improving sidewalks, replacing pedestrian crosswalks and creating designated crosswalks across multiple railroad crossings.

The original pool and stone bath house, originally constructed in 1936, were considered to be one of the most modern facilities in Indiana. However, after 69 years of use and generating countless fond memories, the old Baker Park Pool was closed in 2005 after it was declared to be unsafe.

The New Castle Park Board spearheaded a community survey and design feasibility study to fashion a more efficient pool design, plan the renovation of the old WPA-built bath house and examine the relationship of these aquatic facilities with the various nearby park resources.

Part of this monumental effort included blending financing from the New Castle City Council with a community wide capital campaign to raise all the funding necessary to finance the project.

The trails program has been a tremendous success for the city of Greenfield. Desiring to expand that system and build off its success, the city retained HWC to plan and design the expansion of the greenways system on the west side of the community. The expanded greenway generally follows the old Pennsylvania Rail-road right of way and extends three miles from Center Street to CR 150. The route includes neighborhoods, INDOT’s Greenfield sub-district offices/yard, Greenfield’s stormwater management ponds, and the historic Eli Lilly Greenfield Laboratories (now Covance).

Funded with a grant from DNR, this $800,000 trail project included several key challenges. First, the trail was routed through Lilly/Covance easements, which required careful coordination with Lilly representatives and risk analysis particu-lar to that industry and historical limitations. Additionally, with three busy street crossings, the evaluation of safe crossing options was a key issue. HWC worked with INDOT, the city, Lilly and others to develop crossing options that were safe for both pedestrians and vehicles. Another key challenge was re-working the former Center Street trailhead that was not originally designed for a through trail. HWC’s design preserved the existing trailhead infrastructure while allowing the trail to route through the narrow site, saving money and allowing the trailhead to become a multi-use facility for festivals and events.

HWC worked with the mayor of Seymour to realize his vision of attracting I-65 drivers into the city. A video was created, showing before and after 3D images of the proposed Gateway Park next to the downtown area. Included in the design is a small pocket park with a farmers’ market, which welcomes guests into historic downtown Seymour.

ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS OF THE PARK INCLUDE:• Event pavilion with lawn for festivals, events and concerts with new and im-

proved parking areas

• Repeating brick column identity element with display space for festival and events information

• Archway entry sign in sequence with event pavilion to inform visitors they have arrived in downtown Seymour

• Enhanced pedestrian corridor with special paving along Tipton Street

• Sidewalk and trail connections to downtown Seymour and the visitor’s center

Downtown Gateway and Arrival ParkCity of Seymour, Indiana



As planning for the future of Princeton’s downtown area began, the roof of a historic bank on the courthouse square collapsed, and the building was demolished soon after. This set the tone for the project and created a resolve among local leaders to not only protect and preserve their important downtown buildings, but take the additional steps to create a thriving downtown business district.

ELEMENTS OF THE PLAN INCLUDE:• Facade restoration on the downtown square

• Gateway enhancements at four intersections, defining the downtown core

• Streetscape enhancements around the Courthouse Square

• A Community & Environmental Learning Center as an adaptive reuse opportunity within an old school building

• Pocket parks with direct connections to public parking

• A civic plaza within an underutilized city block

• A multi-use trail connecting the downtown to surrounding neighborhoods and public parks

• Senior housing within the downtown core
