CTC Trail

Abstract

Leading enhancements on the Columbia Tech Center Trail, SD utilized standards set forth in previous Master Planning phases to design trail segments and highlight key nodes. We designed alternative routes for foot traffic, with the key improvement of building upon existing conditions to create a scenic wetland boardwalk area. Our team worked on landscaping design, wayfinding, bicycle trail markings, and furnishings to create a more pedestrian-friendly campus.

SD has provided support for the design and construction of multiple trail segments, with numerous projects ongoing.

We utilized the master plan as a ‘tool kit’ to define a consistent visual character create a of place, improve trail visibility, access, and perceived safety, strengthen connectivity, reinforce sustainable active modes of transportation, and highlight a valuable recreational amenity for a wide range of users.
