Parks and Recreation
RGA has led the planning and design of a broad range of parks, bikeways and recreational trails. Many of our projects were developed with ISTEA funds, and our designs reflect current federal design and accessibility standards.

Bond Park
Client: Town of Estes Park, Colorado
Description: RGA assisted the design team with the reconstruction of Bond Park upgrades and improvements. This project included: storm sewer, channelization and infiltration system to eliminate existing pond of water and other drainage problems; underground conduit bank for irrigation control wires, utilities, fiber options, and electrical system; replacing asphalt pavement with decorative stones; incorporating parking delineation in decorative stone pattern to eliminate typical painted stripes; eliminating curb and gutter; 3-foot high rock boulder bollards to replace typical parking blocks; and flowing curvilinear roadway, sidewalks and planter beds.

Safe Trail to Schools
Client: Town of Bennett, Colorado
Description: This project was designed in order to provide a safe way for students to travel from their homes, across CDOT and Union Pacific Railroad right-of-way, to school. The design includes 1,400 LF of 7'-wide concrete trail, associated signage and striping. Design plan approvals were obtained from CDOT and Union Pacific Railroad. RGA worked closely with both agencies and the end result was a successful project.

City-Wide Trail Improvements
Client: City of Thornton, Colorado
Description: The RGA team provided the design of over 14,000 LF of concrete and asphalt pedestrian and bike trails throughout the City. Trails included creek-side bikeways, trails through parks and roadside bicycle lanes. Work included profiles, grading, low water crossings, bridge crossings, hydraulic drop structures, local drainage, wetland analysis, and coordination with Urban Drainage and Flood Control District (UDFCD) and the City of Thornton. The Niver Creek segment included a pedestrian bridge incorporated into the design of a storm water energy dissipater.
