County requests engineers include Mataji Trail crossing allowance in Buffalo Gap Road design
Summary
Officials asked engineers to include a design allowance for a crossing of the Mataji Trail at Community Creek, citing repeated flooding by beaver dams; engineers were asked to propose technical options and report any significant cost increases.
During final business, a participant asked engineers to include allowance in the design for a crossing adjacent to Community Creek where the Mataji Trail is affected by beaver-dam flooding. The speaker said the county could pursue trail relocation, "but we'd like to allow an allowance in the design for us to have a crossing adjacent," and asked engineers to recommend the appropriate separation and structure.
Engineers agreed to evaluate options and to flag any significant additional costs that would require further motions or budget decisions. County staff noted that if the extra work added substantial cost the board would address funding at a later meeting.
