Waterfront Transportation Improvement Project (WTIP) Update
Nathan West reported that comments on the one hundred percent design drawings have been
received by the City, and are currently under department review. Several of the comments were
discussed, including wind screens, trail width, accessibility to the proposed drift sills, and the
design of the timeline trail markers. The group consensus regarding trail width is to have a 12'
wide trail. Mr. Zenovic discussed the reasons that the trail was designed at 10' wide and indicated
that a change would cost as much as $25,000.
Design
of the
timeline
elements was discussed at length and
no decision
was reached.
Final
design
will be
delayed
until consensus on design and wording
is achieved.
The results
will be
presented to the group at the February meeting.
Mr. West discussed issues regarding sponsorship and recognition of sponsors. The Rotary Club
has made a decision to provide sponsorship which should help to stimulate additional financial
support. There is strong support for a sponsorship program to help pay for portions of the project,
help to keep the citizens involved and to take ownership of the project.
