LOCATION: North Canadian River, Oklahoma City, OK between First Americans Blvd. and Interstate 35.

REQUESTERS PROPOSED ACTION: The pedestrian bridge will connect to the north bank of the river and the existing Greenway Trail, a paved trail used by both bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The southern point of the pedestrian bridge will be built just east of the boat dock’s terraced seating and provide connection to the bicycle/pedestrian trail meandering along the north bank of the river. The pedestrian bridge will span the Oklahoma River, near the FAM site, downstream from the Oklahoma RIVERSPORT Foundation starting line tower. At this location, the bridge will provide a unique view for special events on the river and everyday use by connecting the Greenway and Eagle Lake Trails located on either riverbank. The proposed bridge will accommodate pedestrian foot traffic and will have adequate clearance for river traffic such as the RIVERSPORT modular dock system, Oklahoma River Cruises, and Public Works maintenance boats. Additionally, the bridge will aesthetically complement the surrounding space, particularly the OKANA site.
