3.4G PIONEER DRIVE SOUTH
The Riverwalk is along the east edge of Pioneer Drive and continues
south of East 14th Avenue to the southern jetty of the Pioneer Resort
Harbor, Figure 3.4G-1. Riverwalk components consist of hard-surface
walkway, bollard and pedestrian lights, and landscaping.
Hard-Surface Walkway - The cross-section for the Riverwalk along Pio-
neer Drive is a ten-foot wide paved area along the road edge. South of
East 14th Avenue, the pavement will widen to 12 feet and continue out
the jetty, with fi shing areas provided, Figures 3.4G-2,3, and 4. Evalua-
tion of creating a culvert connection between the harbor and lake through
the jetty will also be done as part of the design for this zone.
Landscaping – Maintenance of existing vegetation in this area along the
canal, railroad and jetty to the extent possible given construction needs
is encouraged. Enhancement of screening along the rail road edge and
planting of shade trees along the jetty will be very important. Landscape
materials should consist native canopy trees with the reputation for sur-
viving extreme conditions.
Bollard and Pedestrian Lights - The standard Riverwalk pedestrian lights
to match the fi xtures at Riverside Park Leach Amphitheater at approxi-
mately 75-feet on center will be used along the Pioneer Drive portion of
the Riverwalk and in the parking area south of 14th Street. In addition,
the standard Riverwalk bollard lights will be used along the Riverwalk
south of 14th Street and out the jetty spaced 25½ feet on center.
Benches – Six benches are suggested to be place in groups of two (three
groups total), one near the parking lot along the Riverwalk and two groups
at the end of the breakwall in the pedestrian gathering area. Benches are
to be located on the land based side of the Riverwalks facing the marina
and facing inward at the pedestrian gathering area. Benches are to be
placed outside the 12 foot clear zone of the walk on concrete extensions
4 feet wide and 16 feet long to accommodate (two) 6 foot benches and
space for wheelchair.
Trash Receptacles – Three receptacles are to be evenly located between
the six bench groups along the Riverwalk. Receptacles are to be placed
outside the 12 foot clear zone of the walk on the land based side of the
Riverwalk. The base for the receptacles is to be 4 foot square concrete
pad to match the walk scoring.
Rip-Rap – The existing waters edge and breakwall is random stone with
concrete pour over the top. The existing edge should be removed and
replaced with suitable rip-rap stone, Figures 3.4G-5 and 6.
