MONON RAIL-TRAIL Indianapolis, Indiana
Rundell
Ernstberger Associates, LLC completed a Comprehensive Master Plan for this 10
mile trail development in the city of Indianapolis, which includes schematic
design drawings, preliminary cost estimates, and construction phasing plans. Over the course of several public meetings, design standards for the trail and associated facilities were developed, in an effort to lend a unique identity to the project and establish a high level of design quality throughout all phases of development. Specific design elements of the Monon Rail-Trail project include layout of the multi-use trail, bridge rehabilitation, street crossings, trailheads, a signage system, and site amenities. Upon
completion of the Master Plan, REA developed construction documentation for
several phases of the Monon Rail-Trail, which include five renovated bridges,
one new bridge, and approximately 7.5 miles of trail.
The design team also provided construction administration services for
the project. Working
with the City of Indianapolis, the design team has created one the most
successful trail projects in the country. It
is hard to understate the significance of this project to the City of
Indianapolis:
The Monon Rail-Trail is a project that has had an immediate and profound impact on the landscape of the City, as evidenced by the community's enthusiastic response to and adoption of the project. The project has won numerous design awards, including the American Society of Landscape Architects’ Centennial Medallion Award, given in recognition of the nation’s most significant landscapes.
