<br />Harwood Pedestrian and Bicycle Crossing Study - 2007 <br /> <br />5. Recommendation <br /> <br />The alternatives proposed in Section 4 were reviewed and evaluated based on the needs <br />and criteria set in Section 2. <br /> <br />c.f.6> Need 1 -Improve environment for non motorized means of transportation <br />~ Need 2 - Enhance safety across 1-29 overpass for pedestrians and <br />bicyclists <br />(~ Need 3 - Facilitate safe route to school <br />~ Criteria I - Short term implementation feasibility <br />~ Criteria 2 - Financial Feasibility <br />~ Criteria 3 - Environmental Justice <br /> <br />Table 5.11: Estimated Cost of Alternatives <br /> <br /> <br />Alternative 1 <br />Alternative 2 <br />Alternative 3 <br />Alternative 4 <br />Alternative 5 <br /> <br />roximate Cost Estimate <br />$131,614.00 <br />$209,034.00 <br />$391,444.00 <br />$877,604.00 <br />$1,232,934.00 <br /> <br /> <br />Table 5.12: Alternatives Evaluation Matrix <br /> Need 1 Need 2 Need 3 Total Criteria 1 Criteria 2 Criteria 3 Total <br />Alternative 1 I 0 0 I I I I 3 <br />Alternative 2 I 0 0 I I I I 3 <br />Alternative 3 I I I 3 I I I 3 <br />Alternative 4 I I I 3 0 0 I I <br />Alternative 5 I I I 3 0 0 0 0 <br />Score Chart: <br /> 1 Meets the criteria <br /> 0 Does not meet the criteria <br /> <br />As shown in Table 5.11, Alternative 3 meets all the six screening factors set by the <br />purpose and need statement and hence, this study proposes Alternative 3 as the short <br />range recommended alternative. <br /> <br />In the long term, assuming that the City of Harwood is going to grow and pedestrian and <br />bicycle usage is going to increase, alternative 5, north connection would be worth <br />considering and the study recommends a detailed feasibility analysis for this alternative. <br /> <br />Fargo - Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments <br /> <br />- 19 - <br />
