ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION.
BOISE RIVER PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE
Eagle, Idaho
The City of Eagle, with considerable input from the community, determined that a safe pedestrian crossing over the north channel of the Boise River was an essential component to their pathway network. Horrocks provided structures design, environmental permitting, public involvement support, and visualization services for this project. The project also involved cultural and environmental clearances and coordination with the existing pathway network and Eagle Road undercrossing. Horrocks generated renderings for the project using Power InRoads SS4 and LumenRT. Power InRoads was used to create the pathway and bridge model, and LumenRt was used to render still images and interactive Live Cubes with pedestrians, traffic, lighting, and trees. Once a preferred alternative was selected, LumenRt fly-through animation video was created for a public open house. This project was a coordinated effort between the City of Eagle, Local Highway Technical Assistance Council (LHTAC), and ITD. Horrocks provided a wide range of services for this project, including:
​
-
Delivering environmental and cultural clearances for the area surrounding the Boise River
-
Providing project permitting for the proposed 270-foot, two-span pedestrian bridge
-
Developing design and construction documents.
-
Generating renderings and interactive models for the City of Eagle to show a two-span bridge alternative.
-
Developing nighttime lighting options and a pedestrian path underneath the structure for added safety and usability
MOAB RIVERFRONT TRAIL
Moab, Utah
Horrocks worked with Grand County and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to design a 1.8-mile pedestrian trail beginning at the Lions Park Transit Hub and extending east along the Colorado River. This award-winning project sought to improve the existing recreation area by:
​
-
Providing safe pedestrian access to multiple trails
-
Widening SR-128 to improve intersection operations
-
Upgrading and expanding Lions Park to attract visitors to the area
-
Developing an elevated trail system structure to eliminate impacts on the environment
-
Connecting humans with nature while preserving the natural beauty of Moab
TECH CORRIDOR I-15 PEDESTRIAN CROSSING
Lehi, Utah
As part of UDOT’s I-15 Tech Corridor project, elevated pedestrian and bicycle facilities were constructed to allow users to safely cross ramps and I-15 at the SR-92 interchange in Lehi. Located in a high-traffic business area, the project prioritized maintaining and improving active transportation while enabling traffic movement. Horrocks was selected to develop the structural aesthetics and landscape package for this project. The highlights of our work included:
​
-
Providing Geographic Information System (GIS) support to provide the design team with access to the latest design changes
-
Developing and maintaining a map to show the public the updated construction of the project
-
Providing direction to the design-builder on how to incorporate preferred features into the project
-
Working closely with UDOT and Lehi City to produce a design that would convey an appealing and unified look to the transportation corridor
TREASURE HILL TRAILHEAD PROJECT
Park City, Utah
To mitigate parking and trespasser issues due to the formation of an informal trailhead in a residential neighborhood, Horrocks was selected by the Park City Municipal Corporation to design a new trailhead within the area. Along with a new parking and seating area, the project team aimed to improve user and community experience by:
​
-
Developing a formal trailhead for visitors to park, rest, and connect with nature
-
Designing landscape elements that complement the surrounding aesthetic, such as steel retaining walls and cedar post railings
-
Improving trail user safety by installing a custom trailhead kiosk with trail maps and information
-
Providing easier access to the Park City trail network with a sanctioned trailhead
SR-248 PEDESTRIAN UNDERPASS PROJECT
Park City, Utah
In conjunction with the approval of a $15 million walkability bond, Park City selected Horrocks to design a tunnel to improve pedestrian and bicyclist safety and access under SR-248, a major arterial roadway in Park City. Our team contributed to the success of this project by providing trail and structure design, storm drainage, sanitary water, utility relocations, grading, construction management, and public involvement. Notable highlights of this project include:
​
-
Maintaining the natural and historic Park City aesthetic by matching the design and materials of surrounding infrastructure and the natural environment
-
Improving user mobility and experience through Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility and ramping
-
Reducing pedestrian-vehicle interaction along the highway with an underground pedestrian and bicycle tunnel
-
Encouraging year-round community use and improving user safety with a unique snowmelt system
