PROJECTS / RECREATIONAL FACILITIES / Fairview Park Roadway and Bike Trail
Flooding from Stevens Creek necessitated elevating the existing roadway leading to Fairview Park Swimming Pool.  Construction of an adjacent bike trail was to be incorporated in the Rock Springs/Fairview Park Bikeway, a 2.54 mile paved trail linking Fairview Park, Kiwanis Park, and Rock Springs Center for Environmental Discovery.  The Bikeway allows bicyclists, joggers, and walkers to travel from a trail entrance parking in scenic Fairview Park, journey along a secluded route overlooking Stevens Creek into the heavily wooded areas of Rock Springs, past the wetlands development areas, into the deep shadows of the pine forest, and finally arrive at the Rock Springs Center for Environmental Discovery.



In addition to the roadway and trail design, BWC provided preparation of a 404 Permit Application due to potential affect of roadway realignment on Stevens Creek Floodway.  Application was approved by:  Illinois Environmental Protection Agency; Illinois Department of Transportation, Division of Water Resources; Illinois Department of Conservation; and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
