Manitou Avenue Revitalization Project, Manitou Springs, Colorado   The city's historic downtown was long suffering from age, neglect and decaying infrastructure, and the city was on the brink of bankruptcy and possible annexation into Colorado Springs. NV5 proposed a variety of funding sources and urban planning, design and engineering elements to encourage private redevelopment in the seven-block central business district. A "road diet" reduced Manitou Avenue from four travel lanes to two, with a center lane for left turns, emergency vehicles and delivery truck parking. This allowed the widening of the narrow sidewalks by approximately 6 feet on each side. Overhead utilities also went underground. Downtown Business Improvements, Colorado Springs, Colorado   Colorado Springs embarked on a downtown business improvement district project in 1998 with the goal of attracting more pedestrian activity and commercial redevelopment in the business core. NV5 served as prime consultant for the team that would provide the planning, design, and construction management services for this multi-million dollar project. Work included new sidewalks, curbs and gutters and storm drainage. Shooks Run Trail, Colorado Springs, Colorado     NV5 provided preliminary and construction design and survey services for about 1.5 miles of the Shooks Run Trail from Pikes Peak Avenue to the Pikes Peak Greenway along Fountain Creek. The preliminary design examined alignment alternatives and developed a rating matrix to help determine the final alignment. Tasks included coordination with FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, public and private utility agencies, and meetings with city staff and committees. Tasks included hydraulic analysis for the affected reach of Shooks Run; geotechnical investigations and structural design for a pedestrian low-flow crossing and retaining walls; identification and location of potentially impacted wetlands; and preparation of legal descriptions for required rights of ways and easements for the trail.
