Huff street has the highest “exposure factor” of all city
intersections. The exposure factor is a product of vehicle traffic
and train traffic. That train traffic includes switching engines.
Broadway and Mankato avenues followed next. These numbers do not
include the added benefit of the proposed pedestrian crossings on
Johnson and Winona streets.
Where does Pelzer rank on that list? 4th?

My favorite question so far was from someone trying to picture what
this may structure may look like. We do not yet have a drawing but
yes the road will go down starting near Sarnia and coming back up well
beyond Mark. At the same time the railroad tracks will be raised so
that trains will indeed be above the vehicles. This person was not
able to picture the trains overhead. It really is quite common and I
would kindly recommend a little more travel outside of Winona. (not
nasty sarcasm only friendly ribbing) This was found to be the least
disruptive to the area. It looks like the roadway will need to be
about 15’ below the railroad. I do not know how high the tracks can
be raised. Eight foot wide bike pedestrian ways will be on each side
of Huff street as part of the underpass.
I'd have to admit between the bridges proposed for Huff and Pelzer I
was having a hard time picturing the scale of the projects. This helped
provide a better picture of what is being proposed.
How will the bridge proposal for Pelzer differ from the Huff project?
Lastly, at this early stage, can you provide time estimates for
construction, based on other similar projects in other cities on how
many days roads will be affected. (I am guessing the answer is no since
you mentioned other studies being required and it being early in
conceptual development.)
