HI. Old Business
A. Gordon River Greenway Bridge Railing Height
• Because the bridge railing height was not installed to 54" as shown in the
100%Construction Plan Set, but was installed to 42", the members suggested
an extension could be placed on top of the 42' railing that was in place. This
goal of having the railing at 54" was to discourage jumping and fishing from
the bridge.
• Alex S. displayed photos railing extensions as an example and stated that a
complaint had been received from a resident at River Reach that kids are
climbing on the bridge at night, prompting concern about their safety.
o The members viewed the proposed extension.
• Bill P. suggested leaving the railing as it without the extension and asking
Manhattan to plant trees along the walkway in Wetland #6 instead.
• Jeremy S. questioned the safety of 42".
® Tracey D. is agreeable to leaving the railing at 42" and receiving trees.
• Bill f. requested Alex S. call the County Attorney's office and the County's
Risk Management Department to make sure there are no legal or liability
issues with leaving the railing at 42".
