Committee received the staff report. The Committee asked questions including some about financing for
the bridges (in particular the participation of the Fire District in paying for their maintenance and
replacement), their lifespan, and the worst -case scenarios. They also asked technical questions about the
bridges.
Trails Advisory supports combining three main bridges (Bridges E, F, & G) into one bridge with separated
uses while leaving the two westerly bridges (Bridges C & D) in place with continual monitoring.
Trails Advisory recommends moving forward with temporary improvements to include new signs and striping for
the two westerly bridges (Bridges C & D).
Trails Advisory recommends using a concrete material finish for new combined bridge (Bridges E, F, & G).
Please note: Randolph Davis Community Trail name to be replaced with "Almond Trail' and will be referred to
as Almond Trail from this point on.
Trails Advisory recommends making repairs to Almond Trail as quickly as possible to reopen.
After considering staffs responses and the comments from the public, the Committee made their
recommendations. Their recommendations were unanimous.
