Please give a brief project description below.*
Mecklenburg County proposes the construction of an
approximately 2.47 miles of 12'-uvide multi -use
path and an additional 0.57 miles of 10' and 12'-vade connections
to adjacent points of interest along

the corridor. A PCN for this project was submitted in January 2018.
Afield review meeting was
conducted with Kimley-Horn staff, Chris Tinklenberg and Jason
Diaz, and Mr. David Shaeffer with the
USACE on February 2, 2018, resulting in a request for additional
information (RFAI). Shortly after the
RFAI was requested, the project was put on hold by Mecklenburg
County due to funding. No
modifications to the originally submitted PCN are proposed.
The multi -use path will provide connectivity from to the proposed
Little Sugar Creek Greenway
(currently under construction) just west of South Polk Street all the
way to the North Carolina/South
Carolina state line. This multi -use path will also provide access to
the President James K. Polk State
Historic Site, the Belle Johnson Park, Pineville Community Park
and multiple residential
developments along the corridor. The project will support
pedestrian and bicycle travel between
residential, commercial, and recreational facilities by providing an
alternative transportation option.
In addition to the multi -use path, the County also proposes to
stabilize segments of Little Sugar Creek
along the project corridor. The bank stabilization and stream
enhancements seek to reduce bank
erosion, improve channel dimension, create localized bedform
diversity and in -stream habitat, and
stabilize bank areas in close proximity to the proposed multi -use
path. Stabilization includes bank
grading to a stable slope, rock toe protection, and native buffer
enhancement/revegetation. Retaining
walls are necessary in areas of extreme bank erosion where
existing infrastructure, parking lots,
buildings need protection as well as areas where the greenway is
close to the top of bank. These
areas required an engineered solution, necessary in order to
ensure safety of those using the
greenway. A Verti-block retaining wall system is proposed which is
a very natural looking rock face
and allows for groundwater exchange by way of gravel infill
cavities with lateral perforated drains
which also relieves hydrostatic pressure (sustainability). Walls are
limited to those areas mentioned
above only and are avoided where bank grading with rock toe
protection (including native riparian
vegetation planting) can be implemented. Generally, the walls will
be 4'-5' tall, graded 3:1 above the
wall and planted with native riparian vegetation. The sizes of the
retaining walls will be the minimum
necessary to maintain stability and provide protection to
infrastructure. Installation of rock -toe
protection will consist of 6"-18" rip rap flush with the bank. The
rock -toe foundation is necessary to
provide stability for the proposed bank grading proposed behind
the rock -toe structure. A brush
mattress will be implemented along a section previously
recommended by the USACE, which
replaces a section originally proposed as rock -toe protection.
