Granary Crossing: More Than A Bridge
December 05, 2024
Granary Crossing is essential to improving multi-modal transportation access and movement in and around the Towerside Innovation District. It would be a major segment of a regional recreation corridor that includes pedestrian and bicycle trails that provide the “Missing Link” in the Grand Rounds. Although the planning, funding, and construction of this infrastructure framework will take years, there are active development plans underway in Towerside. The need is urgent to identify the site requirements of this complex combination of roadways, ramps, bridges and structures so that private sector development can proceed without compromising future infrastructure design. Towerside has embarked on a professional analysis of the issues involved to explore alternatives and develop a more detailed conceptual plan based on engineering judgment. This study is not intended to be a final design. The purpose is to identify the core issues related to this complex structure in order to inform the follow up process of developing broadly based community, multi-government, and agency support for making real the long-held vision for Granary Crossing.
