I have been trying to get out to visit the new pedestrian bridge Urbandale installed on the north side of Hickman Rd to the Raccoon River Valley Trail. They were to have it completed by the end of September but did not. I took a few looks after work in October to see that they were still not finished. And with the Greenbelt closure I have been taking a different way to and from work and did not have an opportunity to look at it until today.
It is complete. It is a pedestrian connection from 128th to the RRVT. Crossing Hickman at 128th has always been risky. Now one can take this sidewalk to the trail and ride underneath Hickman Rd on the trail.
I'm a bit miffed that it is not wide. Also disappointed that no one has made a paved trail section/sidepath at the corner of Hickman and 128th to connect with the existing sidepath on 128th. It would not be a long section.
