The one-foot wide concrete strips, typically, can be formed with curb <br /> extrusion equipment, making this a relatively easy item to install. <br />I Recommendation #2: TRAIL EDGE TREATMENT <br />I Install one-foot wide concrete edge bands on both sides of the <br /> regional trail in order to improve its visibility and structural <br />. stability. <br />. 2. Roadway Curb <br />I Roadway curb-and-gutter is typically installed with a 6-inch wide top-of-curb <br /> and varying gutter widths. An alternative curb treatment is to widen the <br /> top-of-curb dimension to 12 inches. This type of an installation has a number <br />.- of positive advantages: <br /> . It creates a more solid and stable curb section, which provides better <br />I resistance to damage and deterioration; <br /> . It creates a wider ledge for lawn mower wheels to ride on, which <br />I contributes to safer maintenance operations; <br /> . It improves the visual appearance, since grass does not hang over <br />I into the gutter. <br /> Although this would appear to be a more expensive installation, our <br />I experience has shown that the wider curb top adds relatively little, in terms of <br /> the overall project cost, or, in some cases, on larger projects, the cost for the <br />I wider curb is the same as for a regular curb. <br />I Recommendation #3: CURB-AND-GUTTER DESIGN <br />. Install curbs-and-gutters with one-foot wide top-of-curb dimensions <br /> for a more durable installation and better appearance. <br />. - <br />I <br />
