Following that meeting, staff visited the site to evaluate the feasibility <br />of creating a sidewalk connection from the newly installed sidewalk at Red Cross to the crossing <br />at the south end of the Arden Plaza access drive to County Road E. This option appears <br />infeasible because of the width of the boulevard on the west side of the access drive, the location <br />of the trees and the existing stormwater grate located just north of the crossing. As an <br />alternative, staff has prepared two options for connecting the Red Cross site to the Arden Plaza <br />sidewalk system. <br /> <br />Option 1 is a sidewalk installed at a 45 degree angle from the southeast corner of the Red Cross
