Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:
Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.
This project includes the removal and replacement of the existing 8th Avenue Bridge over the South Platte River. The 88-year-old bridge has exceeded its useful life. The existing bridge lacks sidewalks and bike lanes. The connection to the South Platte River Trail also requires bikes/pedestrians to cross 8th Avenue west of the bridge at grade, with no signalization. The replacement structure will include increased lane width to alleviate this substandard vehicular lane shifting, as well as multi-use sidewalks and improved trail connectivity. The improvements in multi-modal provisions aligns with City priorities for safety and mobility. The replacement of a deficient structure meets City priorities for safety and infrastructure network preservation. This is part of the Elevate Denver Bond projects.
Currently, the project includes acquisition via: 4 temporary easements; 5 partial acquisitions.
