Arboosto Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 TxDOT is planning to build a new trail connector to Memorial Park and pedestrian bridge over I-10 from the Cottage Grove neighborhood. The attached slides were presented in a recent neighborhood meeting. Along with concurrent projects by TIRZ 5 and CoH to extend the MKT trail under TC Jester and designate on-street bikeways along Radcliffe, this would improve access to Memorial Park for pedestrians and cyclists coming from north of I-10. Some project highlights from the meeting were: New 14 ft wide pedestrian bridge over I-10 from Cottage Grove Park parallel to the existing pedestrian/utility bridge. A new 10-12 ft wide trail to Memorial Park running approximately 0.4 mi parallel to the south side of I-10 to Washington Ave. It would run under the Southern Pacific rail and be cut into the sloped concrete embankment. Significant reworking of the Washington and I-10 frontage road intersection to improve pedestrian safety. Landscaping and beautification along the trail. 720122757_MemorialConnectionProject-SN15.pdf 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hindesky Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 I like it, I often ride on the Cohn St bridge but it's too narrow. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
