<br />Harwood Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing Study - 2007 <br /> <br />Cost Evaluation: <br /> <br />The total cost for this alternative is approximately $392,000 (plus design and <br />administration). For details refer to Section A.2. <br /> <br />Environmental Impact: <br /> <br />This project might have some very short term negative impacts due to dust, noise and <br />vibration during the time of construction but it should be noted that the project will result <br />in positive benefits to the bike and pedestrian facility users. Most of the construction for <br />the project will use the right of way owned by the county and will not affect any private <br />property. The construction will not have disproportionate negative affects on any <br />minority or low income neighborhood. <br /> <br />Conclusion: <br /> <br />Alternative 3 addresses the needs 2.21, 2.22 and 2.23. The use of minimum standards <br />might be an issue for a bridge corridor frequented by large agricultural combines. The <br />other major issue would be maintenance during winter. Snow collected at the shoulders <br />might reduce the usable pathway causing temporary inconvenience. <br /> <br />4.4 Alternative 4 <br /> <br />The recommendations of this alternative are: <br /> <br />i. To upgrade existing roadway/sidewalk system as noted in Alternative 1. <br /> <br />ii. To construct a 10 ft shared use path along Dakota Avenue from Interstate <br />29 Bridge to Rivershore Drive and along Dakota Avenue from Interstate 29 <br />Bridge to Lind Boulevard. <br /> <br />Hi. To rebuild the sidewalk along Dakota Avenue from Lind Boulevard to <br />Main Street to 6 ft sidewalk. <br /> <br />iv. To provide a separated bike and pedestrian facility on the bridge by: <br /> <br />a. Using a cantilevered structure constructed along the north side of the <br />existing interstate bridge. <br /> <br />b. Widening the existing bridge deck <br /> <br />Feasibility for Construction: <br /> <br />Using a cantilever structure along the existing bridge structure or widening the existing <br />deck is not technically feasible and does not meet the feasibility criteria. <br /> <br />Cost Evaluation: <br /> <br />The total cost for bridge deck widening is approximately $877,604 (plus design and <br />administration).
