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. Figure 3.4G-4 Figure 3.4G-2 Figure 3.4G-3 Figure 3.4G-5 Figure 3.4G-6
