Impact analysis
Funded in part by a $3 million state appropriation; decorative cladding may be cut if bids come in high.
Pedestrians and cyclists who'll get a safe crossing over Highway 62 and the trail network.
If full cladding were chosen, other infrastructure projects like the Wooddale Avenue Bridge replacement would be delayed.
