This project is part of a of a larger corridor improvement that will serve as an alternative route to SR 20. This segment, the John Liner Road Arterial Improvements Project, extends from Township Street (SR9) to Reed Street. It is a 24-foot two-lane road with no curbs, limited drainage, 4-foot ditch on the north side, and unpaved shoulders. The goal is to upgrade this segment to serve a complete streets configuration with two 13-foot lanes, new curb and gutter, sidewalk on the south side, a ten-foot shared use path on the northside (currently in design as a separate TAP project), and a 3-5 foot planter strip as appropriate. The north side will also require installation of storm water system and treatment as part of new curb and gutter elements. All design elements are anticipated to be co-located within existing right-of-way, but minor strip acquisitions may be necessary. Topographic survey, environmental documentation (NEPA), and geotechnical evaluation will be supplemented as necessary; the decision was made to perform these functions over the entire right-of-way as part of the shared use path design effort.
