Home My WebLink AboutVantage Drive Pedestrian Bridge REQUES f FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION 1,)AKI Date January 22, 1990 Submitted to: Honorable Mayor and City Council APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL i Submitted by: Paul E. Cook, City Administrator . Prepared by: Louis F. Sandoval, Director of Public Works i�Y�cL> xis _ Subject: VANTAGE DRIVE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE Consistent with Council Policy? ] Yes [ ) New Policy or Exception Statement of Issue, Recommendation,Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions,Attachments: STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Transportation Commission has completed its investigation of the Vantage Drive/Banbury Cross pedestrian bridge usage. RECOMMENDATION: The Transportation Commission recommends that a fence and gate be installed in the center of the existing bridge, secured by locks controlled by Police Department personnel (crossing guards or other.) ANALYSIS: At its July 17, 1989, meeting, the City Council referred the issue of the pedestrian bridge that connects the Banbury Cross complex to Vantage Drive over the Wintersberg Flood Control Channel to the Transportation Commission. The Commission was to make an evaluation of the conditions that exist and forward a recommendation to overcome the neighborhood complaints regarding those conditions. The Commission considered the issue at its August, September, and October meetings. Public testimony was received regarding the use and utility of the bridge, vandalism of private property on Vantage Drive, misuse of the bridge after students had returned home from school, and other local activities which disturbed Vantage Drive residents. After substantial discussion and consideration of the issues involved, the Commission members agreed that the bridge should remain in place to serve the children attending Sun View School and other schools. However, since the intent of the bridge was for student safety, and not as a general use facility, the closure of the bridge when not needed by students was appropriate. The Transportation Commission voted unanimously at its October meeting to forward the recommended action to the City Council. The proposed fence and gate can be installed for less than $2,000.00 and within 45 days of approval. FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in Account No. E-AA-415-3-90-00. ALTERNATIVE ACTION: Do not approve installation of the fence and gate.
