It's a way of getting from point a to point b that people in Valley say will be a game changer.Community leaders in Valley on Thursday unveiled a $7 million pedestrian bridge and trail they hope will keep people safe.The new bridge crosses over a highway and railroad tracks.Rosita Krauel says this bridge will make getting around less of a chore for her family."It just makes it so much easier and more convenient. You can have your bikes here with your kids, or just walk straight over there from the school," Krauel said.The bridge spans between DC West Elementary and the YMCA. Eric Williams with the Papio-Missouri NRD said cooperation made this possible."I am just continually impressed with how dedicated everybody was recognizing the benefits this will bring to the community. How dedicated the YMCA was to knowing that getting kids from the schools safely across the railroad tracks and the old highway over to the recreation facilities how important that is," Williams said.But Williams said this project didn't happen just because of the YMCA, he said everyone pitched in to get the job done."The school has been a great partner with the trail directly on the edge of their property. The city has been really dedicated community members, even today with all the people who are celebrating really appreciate what this will bring to the community," Williams said.He also said it's not hard to see how much Valley needed the bridge."We have seen during the construction of the project, kids come out from the school and run across the railroad tracks and run across the highway with cars moving quickly. And that's not safe for them, that's not safe for the drivers," Williams said.A move that's now bridging together an entire community."It's nice to hear about wanting to keep our kids safe, and finding ways to keep everything accessible for all of our kids," Krauel said.A majority of the $7 million dollar price tag came from federal transportation funding with the Papio-NRD covering the rest.
