Panhandle Pathway – SR 14 to 17th Street construction includes, but is not limited to, the construction of approximately 0.6 miles of a 10’ wide asphalt trail, beginning at a point of connection at the northwest corner of the SR 14 and Hathaway Street intersection continuing northwest of SR 14 for approximately 1,500 ft. and then head north ending near 17th Street. This will connect the existing Panhandle Pathway located in the southwest corner of SR 14 and Logan Street intersection via a crossing across SR 14. Pavement markings and signage will be installed at this intersection with rectangular rapids flashing beacons being installed on the north and south side of SR 14 near the new Panhandle Pathway crossing. The proposed path will be placed on an aggregate base that will be constructed by others under a separate contract. The following items are to be constructed in accordance with project plans and specifications: asphalt pavement for trail, shoulder stone, seeding, erosion control, pavement markings and signage, installation of amenities, and other incidental work.
