Elements with Reduced Scope from the Feasibility Report <br />The following elements of the project have been significantly reduced in scope <br />from what was proposed in the Nov. 2007 Feasibility Report: <br />x Landscaping <br />The reduction in scope of the landscaping proposed for the project <br />includes the following: <br />- Elimination of all grading / creation of aesthetic mounds <br />- Elimination of all large limestone landscaping blocks <br />- Elimination of all trees (119 had been proposed) <br />- Elimination of over 90% of proposed plants and shrubs <br />x Site Amenities <br />The reduction in scope of the site amenities for the project includes the <br />following: <br />- Elimination of all benches <br />- Elimination of all waste receptacles <br />- Elimination of the informational kiosk <br />In order to meet the interpretive and educational signage requirements of <br />the federal fund application, two smaller informational signs are currently <br />proposed for the project in place of the more significant kiosk that had <br />been included in the Feasibility Report. <br />Elements with Increased Scope from the Feasibility Report <br />The following elements of the project have been increased in scope from what <br />was proposed in the Nov. 2007 Feasibility Report: <br />x Turf Restoration <br />Due to the significant reduction in proposed landscaping from the scope <br />identified in the Feasibility Report, areas that had previously been <br />proposed as planting beds will need to be restored with turf restoration <br />under the revised project scope. This results in an increase of <br />approximately 12% in the scope for the turf restoration element. <br />x Modular Block Retaining Walls <br />A small amount of modular block retaining walls have been added to Trail <br />Segments 1 and 2 of the project based on additional field review of the <br />proposed trail alignment. The purpose of the walls is not aesthetic, but <br />rather to maintain drainage in areas with steep slopes. The walls are <br />considered necessary for the drainage and trail construction. No modular <br />block retaining walls were included in the Nov. 2007 Feasibility Report.
