Hammitt, Bob <br /> From: Shutt, Gene <br /> To: Rhay, Tim <br /> Cc: Bishop, Diane; Morgan, Dick; Hammitt, Bob; Zucker, Richard <br /> Subject: 24th /Amazon Parkway, Jogging Trail <br /> Date: Wednesday, March 23, 1994 10:38AM <br /> • <br /> Tim, last week Dick Morgan and I looked at the sunken spot along the Amazon Parkway sawdust trail near 24th. <br /> We thought there was a CIP project proposed for widening and installation of sidewalks along Amazon Parkway <br /> and there in fact had been. The key words here are "had been" as the project has been dropped from the CIP <br /> list. Dick and I talked with Bob about putting in a section of sidewalk along the channel where it narrows and <br /> where the problem area is at. Our conclusion was that a section of sidewalk would result in a lot of complaints <br /> from joggers. Since our site visit, we have received another complaint from a resident about the hazard so we <br /> need to take some action to eliminate the hazard. <br /> Apparently you have been considering placement of railroad ties or a barrier of some sort along the sunken spot <br /> and then bringing the sawdust up to a level grade but have been waiting for further direction in case something <br /> more permanent could be done. At this point it sounds as if your solution is the best solution and one which you <br /> should have your staff proceed with. If that fix doesn't work, we'll need to look at doing something else, even <br /> though it would be much more expensive (and possibly no better) than your solution. Please schedule to do a fix <br /> at your earliest convenience before someone takes a header into the channel. Thanks. Gene <br /> Page 1 <br />
