City of Pasco planning new bike and pedestrian bridge for safer Sylvester Street crossing

0

PASCO, Wash. – A project to build a pedestrian and bicycle bridge on the south side of the existing Sylvester Street/Highway 395 overpass in Pasco is in the preliminary stages.

The project calls for a 6-foot sidewalk with a curb, ADA curb ramps, and a shared-use path/trail. The city notes that the existing bridge deck on Sylvester Street is currently too narrow, making this improvement crucial for safety and accessibility.

During the city council’s workshop meeting March 24, council members are expected to meet with the public works director to discuss a professional services agreement for the design of the Sylvester Street Overpass Pedestrian/Bicycle Access Project.

For more on the project, we’ve set up a link.
