Bicycle Friendly C1ty funds - Grant Requirements Guiding Principles • All design standards including accessibility requirements should be met. • The project should have minimal impact to surrounding properties, and environmental and cultural resources. Guiding Principles • The design must reflect the context and character of Bainbridge Island and reflect the community’s preferences. • The crossing should be functional and comfortable for all users. Guiding Principles • The above-grade crossing should be safe for bicyclists, pedestrians and for the vehicles passing below. • The completed bridge design should represent the best available value for quality materials, workmanship and creative design. Project Considerations • Connectivity to Trail • Clearance on SR305 • ADA Approaches • 10’-12’ Trail Width Project Considerations • Limited Right-of-way • Safety railings • Protective Screening • $2.2M Const. Budget Design Preference • A bridge that visually blends with its surroundings without elements that call attention to the bridge or . . . • A bridge that functions as a gateway element and is expressly identified as the Sound to Olympics Trail using art or other design features?
