The condition of the 189th Street Pedestrian Bridge was identified last fall as an important project to undertake for reasons of safety and convenience for the adjacent neighborhood. However, that investigation and determination occurred after the Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") funding for FY 20/21 had been adopted by City Council.
In the interest of serving the public interest, staff proceeded with the design of the repair through the on-call engineering task order process. The City retained the services of JMC2, Inc. to conduct a full analysis of the bridge.
