(via City of Casper)</figcaption></figure>CASPER, Wyo. — Nearly half a million dollars in Transportation Alternatives Program grant funding from the Wyoming Department of Transportation will be utilized for the city’s ongoing riverfront pathway project. The city project will feature a new multi-use pathway along the North Platte River, connecting a planned pedestrian bridge to existing walkways along First Street. The new pathway will be 10 feet wide, beginning near the intersection of Poplar Street and West First Street, running along the south side of the river and connecting to the existing trail close to the to-be-built bridge. The total cost of the project is estimated at $550,000. The TAP grant totals $497,695, with a $52,305 match required. Also at Tuesday’s meeting, the councilors approved a $60,700 amendment with Reiman Corporation for services as the construction manager at risk on the construction of the pedestrian bridge. According to a city memo from interim Public Services Director Andrew Beamer, the amendment came after Reiman’s scope of work was expanded to include the installation and testing of steel piles to validate geotechnical assumptions and structural design parameters. The bridge is planned to be 20 feet wide, which Casper Chief Financial Officer Tom Brauer previously told Oil City News is wide enough to accommodate heavy foot traffic while not adding undue cost to the project. </div></body>
