Bridge/walkway over 141, Manchester/Ballwin (06STL1180)
Status:
City: Manchester/Ballwin. Route: 141 Location: Between Big Bend and Manchester on 141
Type: Sidewalk, Bicycle Lane, Intersection improvements, If there is a bridge the other elements may not be necessary
Description:
Some kind of bridge/walkway over 141 when Carman road ends. This is a very dangerous intersection for anyone who would like to cross 141 and continue through the closest neighborhood on Bromfield Terrace going towards South High School by foot or on a bicycle. It would greatly increase foot traffic and bicycle traffic by making it safer to cross 141.
Importance:
This would make it a lot safer for foot traffic and bicycles to cross 141. Would be especially useful to people trying to reach Parkway South High school from Carman Road.
Obstacles:
The difficulty is that Carman Road ends and the entrance to the neighborhood on the other side of 141 is catty-corner (Bromfield Terrace) rather than straight across. This makes it especially dangerous for someone to come out of that neighborhood and get to Carman Road. It requires traveling 141 for a short distance with no sidewalk or other safe way to reach Carman Road or conversely Bromfield Terrace.
