DETAILED TRESTLE PROJECT UPDATES

September 2024

A detailed material condition assessment was completed on the wood posts in 2023, and provided a critical foundation for the preliminary site design work that is now proceeding. Staff retained a consultant, Foth Infrastructure and Environment, for the design phase work on the Trestle rehabilitation/reconstruction project with a kick-off that took place in June. The design services include planning, limited additional studies (a supplemental geotechnical investigation), design alternatives and options analysis, and ultimately the final design of a rehabilitated trestle.

The design phase will take approximately one year and include a robust public outreach component to seek community feedback and inform the design. We look forward to working with our community to envision the future of the Trestle. A schedule of public meetings to be conducted through the first half of 2025 will be forthcoming.

May 2023

From May 22-27, 2023, Inspectors will be on the river and the Trestle conducting an inspection of the timber conditions on the Trestle and assessing the deterioration since the last Trestle study in 2011. This work will help us understand what parts of the trestle can be salvaged or repaired in a future design, which will help us figure out how much the trestle rehabilitation will ultimately cost. It's crucial work, and we're excited to begin this milestone in one of our community's top ten priorities.

This work will bring us closer to the completion of the first two milestones below, Reengage on Previous Studies/Plans/Designs and Commence Design of the Project to Make the Project Ready for Bids in FY24 or FY25.
