Project Description
Babler State Park Greenway Trail Design
This project illustrates I&L’s parks and trails, bridge, retaining wall, boardwalk, traffic calming, plaza and pedestrian facilities planning and design experience. This project was a continuation of the trail master planning effort and the subsequent alignment study performed by the design team led by I&L and includes Loomis Associates. The Western Greenway Trail at Babler State Park consisted of final design, permitting, plans and specifications for Great Rivers Greenway Districts Western Greenway through Babler State Park.
The new multi-use trail consists of two new pedestrian bridges over creeks, two boardwalks, four retaining walls, four plazas, and approximately 6,500 feet of concrete trail.
An important aspect in the design of the trail was to retain the natural landscape and plant life within Babler State Park. Representatives from the Department of Natural Resources, Missouri Department of Conservation, United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and the City of Wildwood Parks Department were included on the design to determine the best trail alignment that fit everyone’s needs.
As part of the design phase, I&L developed construction documents and cost estimates, and acquired necessary permits. During permitting, the design team worked closely with DNR’s State Historic Preservation Office. Due to the existence of several known historical sites in the park
