About this file

This is a Parking Improvement Plan document prepared by Yantic River Consultants, LLC for the Town of Berlin, Connecticut, detailing proposed upgrades to the Senior Center and Housing Authority parking facilities located at 31 Colonial Drive, Berlin, CT 06037. The plan presents Alternative #4, which includes construction of new parking bays and restriping of existing spaces to increase total parking from 85 spaces to 101 spaces, representing a net gain of 16 spaces. The improvement encompasses increases in standard spaces (from 52 to 72), accessible spaces (from 4 to 8, including 2 van-accessible), and reserved spaces (maintained at 21), while reducing limited mobility spaces. The design includes detailed specifications for bituminous pavement parking stalls with concrete sidewalk and curb installations, handicapped accessible parking in compliance with ADA standards, parking stall markings, and signage. The plan document shows a site layout with labeled zones (A through H) indicating specific improvements, existing conditions to remain, and new construction areas. The document was prepared on July 19, 2024, and subsequently received comments dated October 10, 2024 from Berlin Department of Public Works requesting clarifications on specifications including epoxy striping requirements, extruded concrete curb details, flagpole relocation, finished slope notes, and documentation of plantings to be removed.

The plan includes technical construction details such as 8-inch processed gravel base, 2 lifts of 11-inch Class 2 bituminous concrete placed in 3-inch lifts with tack coat, concrete sidewalk specifications with 6x6 wire mesh reinforcement and 4,000 PSI strength, and ADA-compliant ramp specifications with maximum 1:12 slope. Parking stall dimensions are specified as 9 feet wide for standard spaces and 18 feet minimum for accessible spaces, with van-accessible spaces at 9 feet wide by 18 feet minimum length. All striping is designated as 4-inch white markings with the International Sign of Accessibility symbol for designated spaces. The document indicates that handicapped parking violators will be subject to a minimum $150 fine and that required permit parking is enforced. No specific pricing, contract award information, response deadlines, or project funding details are contained in this planning document.
