City of Chico - Petersen Memorial Drive Road Rehabilitation Project

Petersen Memorial Drive Road Rehabilitation Project

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

This project involves the complete reconstruction of Petersen Memorial Drive, a multi-use pathway that serves pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles through Lower Bidwell Park. This project is the first phase of the Lower Bidwell Park Road Rehabilitation Project, which aims to improve the roadway surfaces of the two shared roadways within Lower Bidwell Park – South Park Drive and Petersen Memorial Drive. The current roadway is primarily used as a pedestrian path that connects the east and west ends of Lower Bidwell Park. The scope of work includes Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) of the existing pavement section, followed by new asphalt paving, thermoplastic striping, and wayfinding signage. Additionally, the parking areas located on both ends of Petersen Memorial Drive will receive minor improvements, including grading and placement of new gravel.
