This is from memory and possibly making it up BUT from what I recall, the Pedestrian “Tunnel”doesn’t go “under” Robinson per se but is a tunnel going thru one of the one/off ramps of the relocated I-40??? ODOT is paying for the tunnel so that makes since to me and the arched or squared entrance is an aesthetic one that grants access to the MAPS 3 park???? Going arched or squared won’t effect load/weight limits etc (that was asked by a Council person)

That’s what I’m thinking too. Why the heck does Robinson need a tunnel?

Now I’m terrified of what Core 2 Shore really is. This city just does not get urban at all.

You know. The city could ramp the sidewalk 5 feet for 5 inches in the direction of travel on the east and west and Put up a handrail on the sides. Far cheaper than $100,000. If you’re only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

Steve, there is a question that is 100 times more important than comparing it to NE 2nd Street. I am deeply disturbed as to why Robinson will be in need of an underground pedestrian tunnel to traverse???

That’s a scary thought.

I can’t believe the City has been so stubborn and pigheaded with respect to this. Why can’t they just admit they made a mistake and fix the darn thing already?

Maybe that’s the real issue, however. Perhaps we can think of a great cover story for Marsha Slaughter that doesn’t make her out to look like an inept buffoon. Maybe if we blame the whole thing on developers and/or the streets department that were so thoughtless as to avoid placing the sidewalk at an elevation deemed more suitable to the Water Department?
