In the conceptual drawings of the bridges the railing height appeared to be too low to prevent a bicyclist that collides with the railing from flipping over the railing. The information you have provided will be helpful in understanding the actual design.

I just checked with him and he will get these delivered to you this afternoon. I have sent the bid tabs to you. We do not have a bid tab for the sidewalk to Spring Valley but will send an engineer’s estimate. What is the legal concern with the railing height? Too high or too low? We can incorporate their input when we re-bid it.

The PSA will not be approved by legal until we have sufficient detail in the scoping sheets. We need the bid tabs for the park and most recent PS&E for the sidewalks and bridges. Our legal also has some specific concerns about the railing heights on the pedestrian portions of the bridges that could impact whether County funding is applied to these items. Please send us these items this week so then we could be able to have the PSA to you in time (by 2/16?) for the next Council meeting.

Do you think you will have something to send over today? Are you waiting on anything from me? I asked the consultant to send the plan set for the park bid to you. Did you receive it yet?

Please send us the bid documents for the park portion with plans. We will do this. Also please send us the most recent plans and estimates for the bridges and the sidewalk connection up to Spring Valley Rd. We will send the bridge plans but please know we are making some changes to them. The sidewalk connection is currently being designed. We are condemning the gas station on the southwest corner of the intersection so we can re-align the intersection. We are waiting on a date from the court for the condemnation hearing. We are about two months away from having plans prepared for the trail up to Spring Valley. Do you have these plans in a PDF file that we could look at digitally? Otherwise a half-size set of plans would be good to get started with. Eventually we would want full-size sets of plans. Is the southern pedestrian bridge with the park bid or being developed with the bridge bid? The south pedestrian bridge is part of the bridge bid. Since the bridge portions have not been built yet it would be very helpful for traceability if the pedestrian portions of the vehicular bridges can be listed as a separate item or possibly identified in the description of the bid item. We will try to develop ways of bidding the pedestrian portion in an identifiable manner. We will need to keep the project title to Addison Trail since that was how it was listed when the funding commitment was approved. Ok. Including Phase 4 in the title could allow flexibility in the event that it becomes possible to construct a trail connection to the Brookhaven Loop Trail. Sounds like the street name change is proceeding but we can list the new name in parentheses, just in case. Ok.

Please confirm the overall project length, dimensions of the trail and pedestrian portions of the bridges. The 8/14/09 letter to Commissioner Dickey had listed the following: Trail: 8 feet wide, 5400 ft. long nearly one mile long South Pedestrian bridge: 15 ft 9 ¼ inch wide (12 feet wide), 150 ft. long (length unspecified (please specify or estimate if possible)) Pedestrian portion of Ponte Lane Bridge: Two 12 feet wide long pedestrian paths 220 ft in length (the bridge span is 139 ft) ( remove-70 feet in length) providing connections to trails) Pedestrian portion of Bella Lane Bridge: Two 12 feet wide long pedestrian paths 182 ft in length (the bridge span is 139 ft) (remove-70 feet in length) providing connections to trails For the pedestrian portions of the bridge why does the letter specify 32' is dedicated to pedestrian traffic when the total of the two paths is 24'? The pedestrian pathways on the bridge were detailed wider. The current plan shows 14 ft 6 in but we are thinking of reducing it to 12 ft. Is this okay? Please also indicate whether there will be any possibility of bicycle/pedestrian improvements along Vitruvian Way and/or south to the Brookhaven Loop Trail? Yes, definitely. The plans for Vitruvian Way include a pedestrian walkway that is 10 ft 6 in. wide from the park to Spring Valley. (an additional 1100 ft of length) The remainder of each side of the road has a pedestrian walkway that ranges from 7 ft 6 in to 10 ft 6 in. (a total of 2500 (south) and 3600 ft (north) for a total of 6100 ft of new sidewalk along Brookhaven Club Drive (Vitruvian Way) None of these sidewalks lengths have been included in the submittal. Tomorrow (1/27) I will be at TxDOT all day for LGPP training but will use email to help keep progress. If you have any immediate questions please contact Antoinette otherwise I will be available Thursday afternoon. If you can provide us these answers by no later than Thursday morning (1/28) we will have a better chance of getting you the PSA by 2/2.
