On November 16th, 2007 The BNA Halo LID core team, Erica Rooney (the Otak project manager), and Amanda Ownings Otak Civil Engineer walked both sides of SW Hamilton from SW 60th to SW39th to identify challenges, opportunities, solutions and alternatives for each section of the street. Below are a few of the many challenges, followed by one or two possible alternative pathway designs (from Table D-1.pdf, 284KB PDOT Alternative Pathway Concepts) that might be used.

These alternative pathway designs are meant to show what might be possible, and different solutions can be applied along the different sections of SW Hamilton depending on topography and other factors. The street widith between the yellow center line and the white fogline is 10', street right of way along Hamilton varies greatly from just a few feet to 15-20' outside of the white fog line. So the notes below each photo are just meant to be illustrative discussions of the types of challenges and issues with some of the improvements that might be used if there is sufficient right of way to accommodate them, neither are complete... how would you solve or balance them? Add your own solutions here (see bottom of page for how). More to come here soon.

When a group of neighbors wants to upgrade an unimproved street one way to go about it is to use Expanded Maintenance Options.
