Civil EngineeringHarborwalk Multiuse Trail, Punta Gorda, FLWEC was contracted by the City of Punta Gorda to providemajor park improvements to over 3 miles of the City’s primewater front property. WEC designed the multi‐use trail whichranged in size from 10 feet to 30 foot widths and crossedthrough wetlands. Challenges faced and overcome during thedesign of this project included coordination with multiple landowners along the selected corridor, coordination with publicutility departments, retrofitting of existing stormwater systems,and providing ADA compliant crossings at multiplestreets or parking lots, with various changes in elevation.WEC assisted the City in all aspects of design, including materialselection, engineering estimates and probable quantities. This project serves as the centerpiece of the“Ring Around the City” for Punta Gorda. Permitting of this project required applications to SWFWMD, FDEPand ACOE. WEC took the lead role for the permitting activities and successfully received approval from eachagency and received permitting for certain phases with as little as one RAI..A key component to the overall design wasgathering public input. As the centerpiece tothe Punta Gorda waterfront community,stakeholder input was vital to the successfuldesign and appearance.
