2011 Clear Zone Inventory and
2012 Clear Zone Mitigation Project
 Parametrix
was selected to provide engineering consultant services for the 2011
Clear Zone Inventory Project and the 2012 Clear Zone Object
Mitigation Project. Parametrix completed the 2011 Clear Zone
Inventory Project in June 2012. The 2011 project included
identifying objects within the clear zone on 17 rural arterials
around the county. The consultant performed route scanning
utilizing Topcon IP-S2 Mobile Scanning and Imaging to locate objects
along approximately 60 miles of roadway and then performed field
verification. A roadway report for each roadway including
maps/plans, general roadway characteristics, photos, and inventory
spreadsheet of the identified objects were provided to the County.
Parametrix completed the 2012 Clear Zone Object Mitigation Project
in December 2012. The 2012 project included developing a method to
rate the objects and critical slopes identified under the 2011 Clear
Zone Inventory Project. The rating method will be utilized by the
County to prioritize future clear zone mitigation projects.
The County is currently developing a list of clear zone mitigation
projects for the approximately 60 miles of roadway along the 17
rural arterials. The clear zone mitigation projects will focus tree
removal and guardrail installation.
Project Schedule
The 2011 Clear Zone Inventory Project started in October 2011 and was
completed in June 2012. The 2012 Clear Zone Object Mitigation Project
started in August 2012 and completed in December 2012. The 2013 Guardrail
Installation and Tree Removal Projects are expected to be completed by
December 2013.
Project Cost
The 2011 Clear Zone Inventory Project cost $76, 785.50. The 2012 Clear Zone
Object Mitigation Project is projected to cost $142,495.02. Both projects
were fully funded with Federal Highway Grants. Costs associated with the
2013 Guardrail Installation and Tree Removal Projects will be funded with
Federal Highway Grants.
