PROJECT SPOTLIGHTS Bicycle & Pedestrian

Warrior Riverwalk | Tuscaloosa, AL

Neel-Schaffer has provided civil engineering, planning, and
surveying services to the City of Tuscaloosa for the Warrior
Riverwalk, a shared-use bicycle and pedestrian path that
when fully built will wind about 13 miles along the Black
Warrior River on the edge of downtown Tuscaloosa. The
project has been designed and constructed in phases,
beginning in 2003, with the latest phase, Riverwalk East,
completed in early 2017. The total cost to date has been
about $5 million. Neel-Schaffer is now involved in a master
plan update that will include more phases.

The Riverwalk is near the University of Alabama campus,
and it connects to the Tuscaloosa River Market, the
Tuscaloosa Amphitheater, the University of Alabama
crew facility, the Hotel Indigo, various retail facilities,
and a mixed-use residential development that includes
condominiums. This project has been designed to meet the
ADA requirements for recreational trails established by the
Federal Highway Administration.

Highland Colony Parkway Multi-Use Path | Ridgeland, MS

Neel-Schaffer provided engineering design and construction services for a 1.3-mile multi-use path in Ridgeland (MS),
completing another phase of a multi-phase master plan that will connect other bike/ped facilities within the City of
Ridgeland with similar facilities in adjacent municipalities.

The $1.59 million project was partially funded through the federal government’s Surface Transportation Program and
is considered a “transportation enhancement.” It includes a steel truss pedestrian bridge with decorative pave rs on
the deck over a tributary to Purple Creek, an overlook deck and pocket park where path users can enjoy the lakeside

atmosphere, decorative lighting, and irrigated landscaping designed to complement the landscaping along Highland
Colony Parkway and in the nearby Renaissance at Colony Park retail center.
