This path is often used as a pedestrian walkway when <br />large events are held at the Marina Community Center or Stenzel Park. Wicks Boulevard at the <br />Marina Community Center is a key spot in our Pedestrian Project list in the Pedestrian and Bike <br />Master Plan as well as the Sidewalk Gap Program. <br />Analysis <br />The approved plans call for approximately 1,100 feet of sidewalk to be installed between Stenzel <br />Park and Burkhart Avenue along Wicks Boulevard. About 177 feet of retaining wall will also be <br />installed at heights varying from 1 foot to 1.75 feet tall. The width of the sidewalk will be <br />American with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant and varies from 4.5 feet to 5 feet, depending <br />on whether a retaining wall is present in that location. A total of four new ADA ramps will also <br />be installed within the project limits. <br />
