BOSWELL Yogi Berra Drive Sidewalk Township of Little Falls, Passaic County, New Jersey CLIENT Montclair State University 1 Normal Avenue Montclair, NJ 07043 CONTACT Adam McGuire Project Manager Capital Planning & Project Management 973-655-7789 meguirea@montclairedu CONSTRUCTION COST $300,000 COMPLETION DATE 2025 DISCIPLINES INCLUDED Survey Roadway Design Traffic Construction Administration Montclair State University engaged Boswell to provide engineering services for the installation of new sidewalk along Yogi Berra Drive. The project included the construction of sidewalk from the CarParc Diem Parking Garage to Yogi Berra Stadium along the west side of the road. Prior to the project, sidewalk existed on the east side, but due to the high pedestrian volumes during game days at the stadium, a second sidewalk was needed. ADA-compliant curb ramps were designed for all crosswalks included within the project limits, which was a challenging endeavor given the grade changes along the road. All curb ramps and sidewalks were constructed in conformance with the ADA Standards and the Public Rights-of-Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG). In order to facilitate the installation of the new sidewalk between Yogi Berra Drive and the steep slope located near Parking Lot #24, the existing wooden guide rail was replaced with new NJDOT-compliant guide rail. The new guide rail was replaced with the Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware (MASH) crash tested Midwest Guardrail System (MGS), which is the New Jersey Department of Transportation's (NJDOT) standard. In an effort to blend the guide rail with the University’s “Spanish Mission” architectural style, the guide rail was specified with a powder coated rustic brown color.
