The Engineering & Property Management (E&PM) project team managed the Tyvola Sidewalk Project through the stages listed below.  Specific work was conducted during each stage with an emphasis on public involvement during the planning and design phases. 
 
Planning & Design Phase (February 2004 - May  2005) 
City staff worked with the Gannett Fleming Consultant Team to plan a new sidewalk on Glenham Drive.  The plans were based on safety, cost, benefits, traffic analysis and a public involvement process.  The public involvement process allowed citizens and nearby businesses to provide input at two public meetings.
  
Real Estate Phase (Winter 2005 - Spring 2005)
The City's Real Estate staff worked with citizens and businesses to acquire right of way and property easements needed for construction work.
 
Bid Phase (Complete)
During the bid phase, final specifications were prepared and quantities of material were determined.  The City of Charlotte followed the North Carolina state regulations and selected the lowest, responsible bidder.
 
Construction Phase (Completed in Summer 2006)
E&PM staff worked closely with the contractor and property owners to ensure right of way agreements were followed.
