Member asks staff to study expediting Sentry bridge shared‑use path to provide detour during reconstruction
Summary
A committee member asked that staff investigate accelerating installation of the shared‑use path bridge on the north side of Sentry so pedestrians and cyclists have a detour before Century Avenue reconstruction; the committee asked to place the item on the July agenda for staff follow‑up.
Committee member Mark raised a request that staff examine whether the shared‑use path bridge on the north side of the Sentry bridge can be installed in time for next spring’s Century Avenue reconstruction, providing a detour for pedestrians and cyclists. He said installing the bridge before Century is closed would avoid routing vulnerable users to longer detours via Maywood Avenue and Park Street.
Mark asked that the committee discuss the matter at its July meeting with staff prepared to report on feasibility and required groundwork. The committee scheduled its July meeting for July 9 and agreed staff should look into the possibility and coordinate with Mark on next steps.
No formal action was taken at the meeting; the item was requested for a future agenda so staff can research timing, costs and potential coordination with reconstruction schedules.
Next steps: staff will prepare background and feasibility information for the July meeting; Mark offered to work with staff on the item ahead of time.
