TVTC Strategic Expenditure Plan 2022 Update │ Appendix Draft Final Report │ Adopted: April 29, 2022 C-11C. IRON HORSE TRAIL CROSSING AT DUBLIN BOULEVARD TVTC PROJECT SPONSOR City of Dublin LEAD AGENCY City of Dublin PROJECT DESCRIPTION (UPDATED SUMMER 2021) Project C-11c will build a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Dublin Boulevard in order to connect two segments of the Iron Horse Trail. This bridge will create a total separation between vehicles and bicyclists/pedestrians. This will eliminate the possibility of motorized vehicles and pedestrians having a collision, making this segment of the road safer for all users. Along with this, congestion will be reduced as cars will no longer have to wait for pedestrians. This reduction of congestion will also allow for the transit to operate more efficiently. Pedestrians and bicyclists will also not have to wait for a walk signal since they will be able to continue their walk or ride without stopping. The bridge will follow ADA requirements so that disabled people will be able to use it as well. This bridge will also be aesthetically pleasing in order to attract users and improve the user’s experience. The bridge will also connect BART to Dublin in a safe manner, encouraging recreational user of the Iron Horse Trail and the opening of local businesses. This safe and fast route of crossing the Iron Horse Trail will promote walking and bicycling for both recreational and commuting purposes in Dublin, this encouraging the shift from motorized vehicles to alternative forms of transportation. STATUS The project is currently in the final design phase. Additionally, environmental analysis of the project is currently in-progress. PHASING AND SCHEDULE Environmental approval was complete in December 2019. PS&E began in June 2018.
