The proposed project consists of the construction of a pedestrian trail along an abandoned railroad and repurposing an existing railroad bridge into a pedestrian bridge. The total length of the project is approximately 1.38 miles. The project proposes constructing a 10- to 12-foot-wide asphalt pedestrian trail along an abandoned railroad from Agnew Ave. to and across the Oklahoma River. Drainage pipes will be constructed along the trial to provide drainage. Crosswalks and traffic control devices will be installed at the South Pennsylvania Avenue and SW 15th Street intersection. Barrier boulders and bollards will be installed along the trail as it intersects city streets to prevent vehicular access to the trail. The abandoned railroad bridge will be rehabilitated and converted into a 12-foot-wide pedestrian bridge. Ramps will be constructed at each end of the bridge to connect with paths that run along both sides of the river being crossed. The project will connect to existing trails along the Oklahoma River. The proposed work to the bridge will consist of removing existing debris buildup around bridge piers and filling identified voids around the pier struts with concrete.
