Macomb Downtown Square

Hutchison Engineering, Inc. (HEI) was selected by the City of Macomb to provide preliminary engineering services to assist with developing an ITEP grant application and Phase I, II and III engineering for the historic square. The grant application was successful and the City was awarded ITEP funds during the ITEP Cycle 13 (2018). The project includes reconstructing the historical square to improve traffic flow, maximize parking, improve pedestrian safety, and create on-street dining. The project includes hand struck ADA compliant sidewalks accented with brick pavers, curb and gutter, storm sewer, resurfaced pavements, signing, street lighting, historic pedestrian scale lighting, and streetscape amenities.

HEI is providing services including a traffic study, intersection design study, geometric option development, IDOT and FHWA coordination, environmental coordination, historical building coordination, streetscape element option development, utility coordination, public involvement using the Context Sensitive Solutions process, developing an IDOT approved Project Development Report, final Plans, Specifications and Estimates for a state letting, and full construction inspection. HEI was able to develop an ADA compliancy plan that eliminated steps throughout the square, increased sidewalk width for on-street dining and maintained parking spaces.
