Short Title Description of Project: Nino or Blossom Hill Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge over Highway 17
Amount of claim: $52,995
Functional Description of Project:
Crossing Highway 17 at this location is a barrier for bicyclists and pedestrians. This is a suggested path for SR2S. There is a high volume of
bicycle and pedestrian traffic for school students to cross to get to Fisher Middle School. The current BHR brid ge doesn’t have sufficient width
to accommodate a separated bike lane or Class I path, which is needed to accommodate the existing and future demand. The Town is
interested in considering either Nino or BHR as alignment options, not both.
Financial Plan:
List the project elements for which TDA funding is being requested (e.g., planning, engineering, construction, contingency). Use the table
below to show the project budget for the phase being funded or total project. Include prior and proposed future fund ing of the project.
Planning funds may only be used for comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian plans. Project level planning is not an eligible us e of TDA
Article 3.
Project Elements: The requested funds will be used in Design, Engineering, Environmental and ROW. This phase will prepare the project to
be “shovel ready”. This phase is scalable. The Town may use a lesser amount to partially fund this phase and pursue additional funds in the
future to complete the entire engineering phase.
