EXHIBIT A <br />The Project generally involves a “road diet” and traffic calming enhancements from Dr. Martin <br />Luther King Drive to Eddy St. to reduce the travel lanes from 4 lanes to a 2-3 lane pavement <br />sections, providing more user-friendly pedestrian & bike use plus landscaping within the R/W <br />outside of the narrower roadway. <br />Just east of the river there are the riverside trail connections going north & south, and the City <br />wishes to provide a safe pedestrian crossing to connect to the riverside trail with a crosswalk <br />running across LaSalle Ave. Pedestrian actuated flashing crossing warning signage will be <br />included along with a crosswalk. <br />The City wishes to install retro constructed 6”, beveled reveal, barrier pedestrian safety median <br />curb islands for pedestrian crossing safety on the east Bridge approach slab, east of the bridge <br />structure. The proposed work would not take place on the Bridge deck. The work would involve <br />retro constructed ADA curb ramps, at the north and south ends of the proposed crossing. The <br />crosswalk path surface would be at the existing pavement grade, with safety crosswalk pavement <br />markings. <br />The existing Bridge approach concrete would be sand blasted clean. Then “L” shaped reinforcing <br />steel pinning bars would be drilled and grouted into the existing concrete slab at a typical spacing, <br />and a reinforcing steel bar grid mat would be tied to the pinning bars to reinforce the retro curb <br />to be poured around the reinforcing steel bar grid mat after an epoxy bonding agent is to be <br />applied to the sand blasted existing east bridge approach concrete surface. <br />The work would take place on the eastern approach of the Bridge over the St. Joseph River for <br />the full width of the roadway.
