Thank yu fr the cmment The lng range plan fr replacement f the Old CSX Railrad Bridge ver the Maumee River is identified by TMACOG in their On the Mve: Transprtatin Plan". The replacement bridge will be an urban multiuse hike and bike path t facilitate the safe mvement f pedestrians and cyclists within the regin. The TMACOG plan can be fund here: Any new bridge will nt be designed r built as a radway traffic bridge. The multi-use path bridge will, hwever, be designed t accmmdate emergency and maintenance vehicles. Ensure that she understands that this prject nly includes the demlitin.

5 KITTY GIBSON RESPONSE Rich Martink ed Kitty Gibsn n 8/10/2016. Thank yu fr the cmments. The lng range plan fr replacement f the Old CSX Railrad Bridge ver the Maumee River is identified by TMACOG in their On the Mve: Transprtatin Plan". The replacement bridge will be an urban multiuse hike and bike path t facilitate the safe mvement f pedestrians and cyclists within the regin. The TMACOG plan can be fund here: The existing bridge was built in 1902 as part f the Tled Beltline Railway. In 1982, a derailment n the bridge caused damage t the bridge which the railrad elected nt t repair. The RR clsed the bridge at that pint and since then has nt perfrmed any maintenance r repairs t the bridge. Numerus inspectins have rated the verall superstructure t be in pr cnditin and substructures t be in critical cnditin. These ratings make the bridge a safety liability.
