Rails to Trails Phase II and III Expansion

Easton, Maryland

RAUCH, inc. provided civil engineering, design, survey, environmental services, and permitting services for Phase II and Phase III of the Town of Easton’s Rails to Trails trail expansion. Phase II extended the existing rail trail from Aurora Street to Tubman Drive and Phase III connected Port Street to Aulds Alley.

Our scope of work included existing conditions surveys, base sheet creation, structural review of a retaining wall, stormwater management design, wetlands investigations, and pedestrian footbridge design. We provided complete design plans, utility and utility relocation plans, and coordinated permit approvals with the Town of Easton, the Maryland Department of Transportation, the Maryland Department of the Environment, and other relevant agencies.

The trails include benches, landscaping, and American Disabilities Act (ADA) accessible features.
