Alderman Clemons
| was wondering if this was going to be big enough to use as an emergency access to the park, the bridge?
Director Sarah Marchant, Community Development Division
The grant is a non-motorized transportation grant. It is not meant to allow for motorized vehicles. It is
intended, however, to allow maintenance type vehicles, something that parks and rec uses to access the park
for basic maintenance. It is not allowed to be used for something that can be a full motorized access point.
Alderman Clemons
And that’s a stipulation of the grant?
Ms. Marchant
Correct.
Alderman Siegel
| just want to point out that this is a 80 percent grant. The city is only actually putting 20 percent of the money
in that we’re voting on. It’s important to note that we’re not spending huge amounts of money on this. It’s a big
advantage. It’s another entry to Mine Falls.
Alderman O’Brien
When you build this bridge and you say it’s not non-motorized, | agree with that and maintenance, but are you
taking into account, the fire department, the forestry units in particular? Occasionally people do use the trails,
they do get injured. The forestry’s do have baskets to remove the people if needed. Just take that into
account that it would meet the fire department needs for access as well. It would make common sense in my
opinion.
Ms. Marchant
| can certainly bring that to the consultant’s attention. This is meaning to be very much like the Seventh Street
pedestrian bridge. It’s very much along those lines.
Alderman O’Brien
The Seventh Street seems to work out well. Just making sure while we’re doing, we’re doing it correctly.
Thank you.
