Officials say Johnson Parkway bridge may be shifted after retirement community raises concerns
Summary
Staff told the board a proposed dedicated Johnson Parkway transit bridge comes within roughly 50 feet of a nearby retirement community and that designers will meet the facility to study whether the bridge can be moved farther away to reduce impacts.
County designers flagged an alignment constraint near Johnson Parkway where a planned dedicated transit bridge approaches a nearby retirement community. "That is a retirement community. Our bridge comes about 50 feet close to the building," a presenter said when discussing proximity concerns, and staff said they will explore shifting the bridge if feasible. (Sina Smith)
Presenters emphasized they will work with the retirement community (referred to during the presentation as Bridal Life) and bring consultants back in the fall to test alternative alignments. Staff acknowledged the need to balance reliability of the guideway with community concerns and listed additional community engagement and designer outreach as next steps.
