Corridor and the Bridge Street Corridor to consider how pedestrian and bicycle movement can be integrated with the City’s greenway and transportation networks. The most significant capital element of the Bikeway Plan includes the establishment of a multi-use bridge over U.S. 33 using the existing Eiterman Road right-of-way. With the inability to provide pedestrian connectivity through the U.S. 33 / SR 161 interchange, the establishment of this key east-west connection provides an opportunity to establish an artistic architectural structure as an image-maker along the core of the EAZ.
