– Existing pedestrian bridge to be removed because of vertical clearance/height conflicts – Potential conflicts with overhead/high mast power lines – Potential pedestrian bridge meeting American with Disability Act (ADA) requirements expected to be very long and high over roadway

– Existing Craig Street bridge has narrow sidewalks

– Proposed Craig Street bridge would be wider with shared use lanes (cars and bikes) and wide sidewalks

Proposed Craig St. Bridge: 1 shared use lane in each direction with Wide Sidewalks / Paths (see typical section below)

ADDI DDITIONAL ALTERNATIVE TO B BE E EVALUATED – Plan for pedestrian facilities or bridge meeting ADA requirements

– Noise Analyses would be conducted for entire study limits along I-20, I-820 and US 287 – Noise Abatement would be evaluated for all areas that have noise impacts
