Description:
The project involved civil engineering services for the design of the new SBC bus shelters and site development at the SBC Center (NBA arena) located along Houston Street. The length of the new bus shelter area is approximately 420 linear feet. The curbs and bus lanes (lane pavements) had been constructed and were already in place at the site. The scope of work involved redesigning the new sidewalk and new retaining wall between the existing curb and existing retaining wall along the parking lot to the back of the bus shelter area. The plan also required preparing an elevation and dimensional control plan and new grading plan for the new retaining walls and site developments. Jaster-Quintanilla prepared a dimensional control plan locating new improvements horizontally in relationship to the project boundary and existing improvements, and also prepared a site grading and drainage plan showing finish grade contours and surface drainage patterns for required storm water flows. Storm water drainage will be by sheet flow away from the bus shelters. Landscape drainage will be by area drains in the landscape areas with drain lines passing under the new sidewalk and draining to the curb line in front of the bus shelters.
