HERITAGE PARK BRIDGES UPDATE - A study has been performed to evaluate the existing conditions of five (5) bridges at Heritage Park. This update will provide information received from the recent engineering study. Heritage Community Park and Equestrian Arena is located on the southwest corner of Hillside Road and Beryl Street. 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 the maintenance and replacement of the bridges at the entrance to the equestrian center), their anticipated lifespan, and the worst -case scenarios. They also asked technical questions about the bridges. Trails Advisory unanimously recommended to the Planning Commission that the City move forward with combining the three main bridges (Bridges E, F, & G) into one bridge with separated uses using a concrete material finish while leaving the two westerly bridges (Bridges C & D) in place with regular monitoring of their condition.
