Document Description: The proposed project would include the construction a multi-modal bridge over the Los Angeles River between Elysian Valley on the west and Taylor Yard on the east. The proposed bridge would be designed for bicycle and pedestrian use, and would also support emergency vehicles. On the south, the proposed bridge would connect with the existing bikeway along the river. Two American with Disabilities Act-compliant ramps would be constructed in this area. On the north, a new 275-ft long bikeway ramp would lead to a proposed two-way bike path with buffer along Kerr Road that would connect to San Fernando Road. Nine Magnolia trees located along Kerr Road would be removed under the proposed project. Proposed crosswalks would be added at the San Fernando Road/Future Street and Cypress St/Future Street intersections.
