Background/Discussion The design and installation of a new pedestrian bridge for the winter walking trails at Woodland Trails Park is being completed by Ryan Herrboldt as an Eagle Scout project. Jim Nystrom from the Parks Commission, a registered PE,is supervising the project. The county is required to allow the placement of pedestrian bridges at country ditch crossings. The need and plans for a bridge as an Eagle Scout project were discussed at the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting last fall. The design for the bridge was presented and approved by the County Ditch Authority. The approval is based on certain conditions as outlined in the attached agreement. The County Drainage Technician or his designee will inspect the bridge when it is completed. Financial Impact A recording fee of$46 payable to the Sherburne County Recorder's Office is required with the agreement. The agreement requires that any maintenance of the bridge shall be the responsibility of the city. The supplies and materials to construct the bridge project are the responsibility of the Eagle Scout project and are usually donations from within the community. City vehicles, equipment and certain support supplies may be required in the completion of this project as is the case in all Eagle Scout projects in the city.
