Commission recommends Option A for Old Middleton Road underpass, seeks accessible connection

Sep 16, 2026

The commission recommended staff's Option A geometry for a new underpass beneath the WSOR railroad to extend the University Crossing bike path toward Old Middleton Road and Craig Avenue; staff emphasized a 10-foot structure width negotiated with the railroad and plans for lighting and retaining walls.

The full story

Grama Esquierdo, project engineer and street designer, presented two alignment options for the Old Middleton Road underpass project that would extend the University Crossing path and provide an accessible underpass beneath the WSOR railroad. Esquierdo summarized existing site conditions (a worn foot path and an existing culvert currently used as an informal crossing), described retaining-wall examples and proposed path lighting, and noted the project would add sidewalk connections and a new crossing on Old Middleton Road.
