Did Hennepin Countys planned structural modifications to the pedestrian deck on the bridge impact plans for Central Corridor LRT?
The pedestrian deck issues were independent of the light rail transit project. Hennepin County became fully aware of the pedestrian deck problem as part of a bridge evaluation report from consultant URS that recommended restricting pedestrian traffic.

The LRT consultants have been the lead, and in effect, the LRT project “discovered” the problem with the pedestrian deck as part of the overall bridge studies even though it was not a responsibility of the LRT project. Central Corridor engineers worked with the county to design the appropriate modifications. Q. What will Washington Avenue look like once light-rail transit tracks are added? A. Two tracks will be built in the middle of the street. Buses will also operate on the guideway. There will be one outer lane on each side for emergency vehicles and cyclists only. Cars and trucks will not be allowed on the transit-ped
