,";;SUBJECT: Pedestrian Crossing - Riverside Drive and S.R.
'DATE: September 29, 1987
This is in response to Council's request for a report concerning possible
methods for pedestrians to cross Riverside Drive and S.R. 161 near Wendy's
Restaurant.
There are three conceivable ways to allow pedestrians to make the desired
crossings. They are:
1- Open the wall.
2. Open the wall. Provide a signalized pedestrian crosswalk across
Riverside Drive on the north side of S.R. 161- Provide a signalized
pedestrian crossing across S.R. 161 on the east side of Riverside
Drive.
3. Repair the wall to its as constructed condition. Provide overhead
walkways for both pedestrian movements.
Tunneling has not been considered because of the limestone rock near the
surface of the ground and the associated high construction cost. Tunneling
also was not considered because of security problems, for the Police, which
are associated with tunnels.
Each of the above feasible methods of providing pedestrian crossings is
discussed in turn.
1- Opening the wall and providing no means of protecting pedestrians
during the crossing is by far the least expensive method. It,
however, does open potential for tort liability claims against the
City as well as City officials should a person be injured while
crossing either street. I cannot estimate the extent to which the
City would be responsible for such injuries. I, also, doubt the
legal profession could make such an estimate.
The estimated cost of opening the wall is $1,000.00.

2 . This method is the same as Number 1 plus the installation of two
signalized crosswalks. This method would provide some protection for
pedestrians during crossings. It would also provide a clear
indication, to them, when it is clear to cross the intersection.
The estimated cost of this method is the cost of Number 1 ($1,000.00)
plus $8,000.00 to $10,000.00.
3. This method is by far the most expensive treatment. It would provide
two overhead pedestrian walkway bridges at a cost of $80,000.00 to
$100.000.00 per bridge.
The total cost is estimated to be between $160,000.00 and
$200,000.00.
The City has previously contracted with Traffic Engineering Service to study
this intersection (and also the Bridge and High intersection) and to recommend
methods of improving traffic flow. Left turn movements have been viewed as
the critical problem.
On September 28, 1987, a representative of that company delivered plans for
re-channelizing traffic through this intersection. That plan provided for
left turn movements but did not provide for exclusive left turn movements.
Because of the definite need to provide exclusive left turn movements and the
potential desire to provide signalized pedestrian movements, I have directed
Traffic Engineering Services to develop a plan which includes a new signal
controller. This new controller would provide for exclusive left turn
movement and allow for a signlized pedestrian movements.
It is my recommendation that method Number 2 be utilized for pedestrian
crossings at this intersection. A part of the estimated cost for pedestrian
movements is included with upgrading of traffic movements through this
intersection.
