Project Overview: The City has contracted with the team of Hayward Baker, Trihydro Corporation, and Engineering Analytics to develop a solution that will reclaim and eliminate further slope failures in four locations within the City. These locations are in the areas of South Park, Kendrick Park, the Sheridan Junior High School, and Ridgeway Avenue. Contractor selection for the Kendrick Park and SJHS slide area (which are contiguous) is planned to be complete by April. A series of walls are planned along the hillside that extends from Lewis Street to Kendrick Park. These walls will be tied back into the hillside and will have numerous drains installed. The walls will vary in height from 10 ft to 20 ft and will be faced with a troweled concrete finish. A maintenance path will be constructed along the lower wall to be used for maintenance of the underdrain systems as well as connect Lewis Street to Kendrick Park. This walkway will be lighted and work is planned to be complete between June and October of 2019. A retaining wall will be constructed in an area between Ridgeway Avenue and Goose Creek north of 8th Street. Regrading of this area and installation of the wall will be completed during the Fall of 2019. Installations of stacked gabion baskets is planned to address the slope failure in the South Park area. Gabion baskets are providing slope stability to other areas along Little Goose Creek near this location. The installation of these baskets is planned to be complete during the Fall of 2019.
