PLANNING PROCESSINTRODUCTION SERVICE AREA VISION PARK PLANS IMPLEMENTATION <br />EAST OF THE RIVER PARK MASTER PLAN <br />OPERATIONS AND <br />MAINTENANCE <br />RAILYARD: <br />There are two proposed railyard crossings in the plan. Both <br />would include multi-modal bridges, with the preferred <br />crossing happening from Malcolm or the Towerside District <br />to Kasota on the northside of the railyard (Section E.) <br />Extensive coordination with other public agencies and the <br />railroad are needed to assess the best route forward for <br />moving pedestrians, cyclists, cars, freight across the rails. <br />This railyard crossing is the most complex infrastructural <br />component of the GRML, and will require multi-agency <br />consensus, fundraising, and effort to accomplish. Trailside <br />amenities such as benches, lighting and wayfinding would be <br />included to instill a sense of parkway character on the bridge. <br />25TH AVE SE <br />A crossing of the railyard at 25th Avenue SE is an alternative <br />route that MPRB will continue to explore. This option <br />bypasses the Towerside District, but it does offer an existing, <br />signalized, on-street crossing of the Transitway and LRT <br />tracks, which are both barriers to the Towerside District <br />Route. The UofM has expressed support for this alternative. <br />SECTION E: Typical Bridge Crossing (52’ Wide) <br />SCALE: 1/8”=1’ <br />0 8’6’2’4’ <br />PROPOSED <br />EXISTING N/A <br />10’14’14’14’ <br />SIDEWALKTRAILLANELANE <br />CL <br />SECTION E: TYPICAL BRIDGE CROSSING (52’ WIDE) <br />PROPOSED <br />SECTION KEY <br />E <br />E <br />K <br />A <br />SO <br />T <br />A <br /> <br />A <br />V <br />E <br /> <br />S <br />E24TH AVE SE268
