Department Project Title Project Number
Parks and Recreation Northfield Drive Sidewalk Connection From Davis Blvd to Northfield Park PK2206
Project Description
This project will provide for the construction of a 6' wide sidewalk along Northfield Drive from Davis Blvd eastward to the John
Barfield Trail in Northfield Park. Additionally, the project will provide for some much needed drainage corrections along the east end
of Northfield Drive near the LIFEchurch detention pond and the small dog side of Tipps Canine Hollow Dog Park.

Project Justification
One of the top recommendations expressed by our City Council and Parks and Recreation Board from the 2016 Park Master Plan
update is to provide additional trail connections and improvements. The John Barfield Trail in Northfield Park connects eastward
from the park to all Thornbridge neighborhoods, the Cotton Belt Trail and areas along the Little Bear Creek corridor. However, there
are currently no trail or sidewalk connections westward from Northfield Park to Davis Blvd. This sidewalk connection will connect
pedestrians from the John Barfield Trail in Northfield Park along Davis Blvd to the neighborhoods of La Fontain, Liberty Village, St.
Joseph Estates and neighborhoods westward along Bursey Rd. The original 2007 Parks and Recreation Master Plan includes
recommendations for connecting major trails to immediate surrounding parks and neighborhoods.

Additional work under this project scope is drainage corrections at the east end of Northfield Dr. Storm water is not able to efficiently
flow in the drainage ditches adjacent to the roadway and into the detention pond which negatively impacts the small dog side at
Tipps Canine Hollow Dog Park.

Funding Source is Park Sales Tax (125).
