Grading plan).

• Grade

the grade of pedestrian access routes shall not exceed the general grade established
for the adjacent street or highway. where pedestrian access routes are not contained
within a street or highway right-of-way, the grade of pedestrian access routes shall be
5 percent maximum.

requires sidewalks to meet VDOT standards. The existing path is in excess of 5% and roughly
10%. The plan shows the path to remain in the same horizontal location and be regraded to
10% which meets the Trail Standards in 7(G) of the design standards for Class A -type I low
