20 th National Trails Symposium The Long and Short of Trail Maintenance

Bike Trail Operations and Maintenance

Maintenance Premise Good maintenance begins with good design. Drainage is the most critical element in the life of your surface. With proper maintenance you can extend the life of your surface beyond the averages.

Operations Manual WhatWhenHow How often Who

Maintenance Costs $500 - $5,000 per mile per year Factors –Level of care –Site of trail –Surface of trail

Columbia, Missouri Trail Maintenance Costs Presentation by Steve Saitta and Mike Snyder in October 2010 American Trails Newsletter: Concrete$2,980/mile Asphalt 8,672/mile Aggregate (in non-washout area) 5,280/mile Aggregate (in washout area)16, 904/mile

Types of Care Routine Maintenance Periodic Maintenance Long Term Care

Routine Maintenance MowingCleaningTrimming Vandalism repair Litter control

Routine Maintenance MowingCleaningTrimming Vandalism repair Litter control

Blower vs. Sweeper vs. Vacuum  Vacuum creates major dust in dry weather weather  Low profile makes vacuum hard to get over bollards get over bollards  Sweeper only gets debris off immediate trail surface immediate trail surface  Leaves piles where sweeper stops  Blower gets clippings, leaves, twigs, rocks and debris way off of trail rocks and debris way off of trail

Periodic Maintenance – all Surfaces  Clearance pruning – maintain 3’ setback setback  Tree trimming- maintain 12’ height clearance clearance  Brush cutback – keep shrubs from encroaching into berm encroaching into berm

Periodic Maintenance - Aggregate Trails Control encroaching vegetation Scarify areas to be corrected Add aggregate if needed Grade and compact

Periodic Maintenance - Concrete Trails Edging Seal Cracks Re-stripe annually (if using paint)

Periodic Maintenance – Asphalt Trails Edge pavement to prevent vegetation encroachment. Restripe annually (if using paint )

Long Term Maintenance for asphalt surfaces  Crack sealing  Seal Coating  Pavement Repair

Asphalt Maintenance Strategy Retard progressive failure Arrest light deterioration Reduce need for reactive maintenance

Crack Sealing Prevents debris build-up in cracks. Prevents water from entering base and sub-base. Prevents continued deterioration. Perform every 2 years. Recommend use of a rubberized sealant.

Crack Sealing

Purpose of Seal Coating Arrest deterioration Prevent water infiltration Restore oils to upper surface Prevent loss of fines

Seal Coat Products Reclamite GSB 88 Agricultural oil based sealers ReplayBio-Re-Stor Do Not Use Coal Tar based Products –Cost - $4,500 – 5,000/mile

Reclamite Chemical composition product Goes on nearly clear Requires 24-hour penetration time Requires sand coat to absorb excess Sand must be swept off before re-open Questions on friction co-efficient

GSB - 88 Asphalt emulsion Goes on black Requires masking or re-striping Dries 1- 2 hours Adds silica sand to fill fines, increase friction

Agricultural Oils Agricultural base, not Asphalt Green product Restores oils to upper 3/8” of asphalt surface Prevents loss of fines Goes on virtually clear; no need for re-striping Maintains co-efficiency of friction

Replay Applicators

Replay Application

Pavement Repair - Aggregate Correct underlying Issues Use ripper tines to penetrate into existing surface existing surface Add new aggregate to match existing existing Grade to blend into existing surfaces Compact with vibratory roller

Pavement Repair - Concrete  Saw-cut all joints  Make sure drainage can occur  Install porous stone base  Form new concrete to match existing  Finish surface to match existing  Provide for expansion of new concrete

Pavement Repair - Asphalt Avoid cuts at all costs Avoid cuts at all costs Develop tight specifications for repair Develop tight specifications for repair Saw-cut all edges Saw-cut all edges Properly compact all fills Properly compact all fills Specify compaction rates for fill and asphalt Specify compaction rates for fill and asphalt Apply AC-20 to sides of cuts Apply AC-20 to sides of cuts Consider re-heating techniques Consider re-heating techniques

Asphalt Surfacing Alternatives  Slurry seal  Skim coats  Micro-surfacing  Chip and seal

Asphalt Re-surfacing  Consider grinding and repaving  May be more cost effective  Requires no re-berming  Requires no re-seeding Always add at least a 1 ¼” course of asphalt
