SOUTH STREET FOOT BRIDGE
Dir.ector of Public Works A.rness submitted a memo to all councilmen date'd Jan.
11, 1g62, entitled "South Street Foot Bridge". He states the original estimate of.
$3, OOO for the :eonstruction of this crossing madE in August had been revised and
�the es.tixriate is.now increased to $6, 000. 1 �,�..
He advises it would cost about $l, 500 to $2, 000 to attach a pedestrian walkway
section to the existing South Street Bridge; using City's personnel it would require
about 3 to 5 weeks. That if we were to call for bids for the construction of a
separate Pedestrian crossing, the work could be coxnpleted in 8 to, 10 weeks.

Mr. Arness states he would recommend the construction of a separate
structure for the following reasons:�- . • �
1 . The separate fbot bridge will offer ;greater�safety:to ,:the pedestrian
and provide considerable mental reli�ef to the; dr,•iving public.
2. If the walkway is attached to tYie existing bridge, :it will be lost duririg
� the removal and construction of a new�bri.dge.�;sometime in the �future.
3. In providing the separate pedestrian crossing, this will also provide
- er�os.s>-canal-foot traffic-during-.the. removal.;and..placement of tlie ex'is.ting
structure. � - .
He further recommended that should the Council approve the construction of a
separate structure; he be �instructed to call for bids inzmediately,. •; '.
