Berkeley Drive Pedestrian Bridge in the works

Sprout it happy to report, that Clemson City Council Meeting on January, 2014 has signed a resolution to authorize:
 

... THE LOCAL MATCH FOR THE BERKELEY DRIVE SHARED USE PATH AND BERKELEY DRIVE PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE TRANSPORTATION ALTERATIVES PROJECT AND DIRECTING THE CITY ENGINEER TO EXECUTE A LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCY PROJECT AGREEMENT WITH THE SOUTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

 
As you know, The City of Clemson has been working on improving the safety of pedestrian traffic along Berkeley Drive extending from the intersection of Frontage Road south of US 123 to the Clemson Elementary School drive opposite of Karen Drive to the north of US 123. They proposed improvements that would include the construction of a multiple-use path along the east side of Berkeley Drive and a new pedestrian bridge over US 123.
  
The city's website reports that "The City contracted with Florence and Hutcheson to perform engineering services for the project. Florence and Hutcheson has the finished design of the project and conducted several Public Information Meetings along the way. Final design approval from SCDOT is anticipated in January of 2012. The design portion of the project was funded by the Pickens County “C” Funds Committee."
