Replace sections of walkways on corners of 8th & Jackson intersection with concrete ramps and curb cuts
Lincoln Home National Historic Site » Replace sections of walkways on corners of 8th & Jackson intersection with concrete ramps and curb cuts » Document List
The boardwalks are 6' wide and average about 15' from the intersection of walkways to the edge and would be replaced in the same dimensions. The wooden boardwalk sections heading north or south from the intersection on three corners also contain a short section of conduit for the nearest streetlight under the walkways. This conduit will be changed from a right angle down the walkway and across to extend diagonally from the intersection through the grass to the light. These grassy areas have been heavily disturbed for walkways, streetlights, utilities, and street repair for well over 50 years. The new trench will be approximately 4" wide, by 18" deep x 8' long.
These walkways are the most direct route to the Lincoln Home from any direction and are used heavily by visitors and local pedestrians. (Updated 3/14/2024)
