CMA Project Engineer Jason Haeseler, P.E., was recently cited by WUFT Media regarding the University of Florida Campus Greenway project in Gainesville.

ﾓThe trail is going to go all around Gainesville to give everyone an alternative route to school and work,ﾔ said Haeseler.

The $2 million project was funded by FDOT and constructed in two phases. CMA serves as a subconsultant to HNTB who is the prime CEI consultant. The project includes permeable asphalt trail construction, lighting, a timber boardwalk, and a 146 feet long steel pedestrian bridge. The project is scheduled to be completed in March.

The All Aboard Florida Fort Lauderdale Station project is progressing! NW 2nd Avenue from 2nd Street to 4th Street is finalized and open to vehicular traffic. This project involves the design, permitting, and construction administration services. In addition, CMA is providing utility coordination services, site plan coordination, and the design of paving, grading, and drainage, water and sewer mains and services, and pavement markings and signage. The project is located in Downtown Fort Lauderdale, between W. Broward Blvd., NW 4th Street, the Florida East Coast Railroad and NW 4th Avenue. It is one Inline Station for the overall All Aboard Florida Rail Project, which proposes passenger rail service from Miami to Orlando, anticipated to open this year.

Happy Valentine’s Week From CMA!
