There was budget, given staff's estimates. But the bids came in over budget, so the bridge was cut to get the project within the budget.
That's not how the staff report reads to me:
It sounds like they put it in with the hopes that the bids that came in would include the bridge AND be within the funding envelope they had.
Perhaps I am misreading or not understanding.
Regardless, I hope the work starts soon so the trail isn't disrupted for all of the nicer weather months. My fear is that the work will take longer than expected and the trail will be out of commission for all of the nicer weather months.
Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
