Yuma Multi-Use Pathway Extension Segments

Del Sol Group prepared environmental compliance documentation for the City of Yuma for six multi-­use pathway segments extending along the Colorado River and Yuma Main Canal from the West Wetlands restoration area to the East Wetlands restoration area. The restoration projects provide pedestrian access and amenities that contribute to the City’s extensive pathway network and improve the overall Yuma historical climate. Federal funds were utilized for these projects, requiring compliance with Federal Highways Administration.
