Trailways and sidewalks are present <br /> on both the north and south sides of Highway 10 with Highway 10 <br /> being the barrier for safe passage. We need to provide a way for <br /> pedestrians and bicyclists to safely cross Highway 10. Because <br /> • Highway 10 has a large volume of traffic and because traffic is <br /> high speed and the Highway is very wide requiring extended time <br /> to cross the Highway expecially for pedestrians. For these <br /> reasons a pedestrian bridge is the recommended facility to <br /> accommodate that safe passage over Highway 10 eliminating the <br /> need to integrate with vehicular traffic. <br /> The City of Mounds View submits this grant proposal with high <br /> hopes of being a recipient of ISTEA funding for the opportunity <br /> to provide safe passage over Highway 10 with the installation of <br /> a pedestrian bridge. <br /> Please feel free to call me at any time at 784-0618 for <br /> additional information regarding this grant. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Mary Saarion, Director <br /> Parks, Recreation & Forestry <br /> 6 PRINTED WITH <br /> � <br /> SOYINK_ 2401 Highway 10 • Mounds View, MN 55112-1499 .(3. <br /> recycled Paper <br />
