Proposed Bridge Improvements <br /> <br />We have evaluated three options to provide a wider sidewalk across the bridge ranging from 6.5 <br />feet to 10 feet in width. The following are brief descriptions along with illustrations and <br />estimated costs. <br /> <br />A. Bridl!c Ontion A: 6.5 Foot Sidewalk <br /> <br />This option is intended to create a wider sidewalk along one side of the bridge without expanding <br />the width of the existing bridge. This is accomplished through doing the following: <br /> <br />. Replacing the north bridge rail system (currently 3.67 feet wide) with a newer F-type rail <br />design (1.67 feet wide). <br />· Shifting the centerline of County Road E 3 feet - This would require restriping with some <br />curvature on either side of the bridge to move traffic back to the proper alignment for the <br />signalized intersections. <br />. Narrowing the traffic lanes from 15 feet to 14 feet in width (Ramsey County has agreed to <br />this in concept)Removal of the south bridge rail system and construction of a new 6.5 foot <br />sidewalk and outside barrier made of concrete and fencing. <br /> <br />15' <br /> <br />Bridge Rail & walk ta <br />15' be remaved (bath sides) <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />7.
