Project Sponsor: <br /> <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />6. Sponsoring Official: <br /> <br />Robyn Sorum, Chair <br /> <br />7. Project Description: <br /> <br />Cass County Highway 17 has become a major traffic corridor in the Fargo/Moorhead <br />Metropolitan Area, and continues to attract residential development. There currently <br />exists no separated facility to accommodate bicycle and pedestrian traffic. Use of the <br />highway shoulder is not recommended for the casual bicyclist or pedestrian, therefore it <br />is considered beneficial and prudent to construct a facility to accommodate such traffic in <br />this busy corridor. With construction of this proposed facility a pedestrian bridge would <br />be required to safely connect Phase 2 and Phase 3. <br /> <br />The bridge would be designed for the exclusive use of pedestrians and bicyclists and <br />would be placed far enough away from the current highway bridge to allow for expansion <br />of that bridge when necessary in the near to distant future, <br /> <br />1 <br />
