Council asks staff to draft Caltrans comment letter on Robinson Bridge, requests two sidewalks and scour protections
Summary
Council members requested staff draft a letter to Caltrans for the public comment period on the Robinson Bridge project seeking pedestrian access on both sides and measures to prevent scour; staff to bring back a draft for the June 17 meeting.
Council members asked staff on June 3 to prepare a draft letter to Caltrans commenting on the Robinson (Robinson/Robinson‑Bridal) Bridge project and to present the draft for approval at the June 17 council meeting so it can be included in the public input record.
Council member Starbuck specifically requested that the letter include concerns about scour (erosion) prevention measures related to the bridge work, and asked for the city to express a preference for pedestrian access on both sides of the bridge. Another council member requested a minimum six‑foot shoulder on an improved approach segment to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians.
Staff agreed to prepare a draft letter incorporating those points and return it to the council at the June 17 meeting to allow council review and formal approval prior to or during the Caltrans public comment window on June 20.
No formal vote was required beyond the direction to prepare the draft; councilors asked staff to ensure the letter is available for council consideration at the next meeting.
