Forte and Tablada, Inc. (formerly PEC) is responsible for providing site investigations, survey, traffic analyses, preliminary and final plans for the Groom Road corridor enhancement project.
The intent of the project is to narrow Groom Road to make way for improved pedestrian facilities and also to mitigate current and long-standing drainage issues associated with the roadway. Pedestrian improvements include the addition of a shared-use path (cyclists, pedestrians, wheelchair), crosswalks, handicap ramps, and landing zones for bus stops. Drainage improvements include the addition of curb inlets/drain pipe, replacement of existing inlets, and the addition of green infrastructure (rain gardens).
Completion of the project will provide the City of Baker with a rehabilitated Groom Road corridor. The roadway serves as the “backbone” of travel and is also one of the longest in the city. Implementing these improvements has the potential to promote and encourage enhancements throughout the rest of the City.
