TO NEW BRIDGE to. City Commission Without. Recommendation MANY ELEMENTS ENTER Various Features of Cost of the Two Highways is Given in The Report ee Le os ‘City Engineer T, R. Atkinson sub- mitted. to the .city commission last night without recommendation a re; port on the cost of a road from Rosser street to the Bismarck-Mandan bridge. A petition had been filed by W. i. Perry and others asking that an esti- Mate of the cost be prepared. The report in tull follows: : To the Honorable Roard of City Commis- sioners, Bismarck, North Dakota: Gentlemen: -On January 30th, 1922, you referret me a petition signed by W. E. Perry and 32 others asking the City Engineer to make surveys and study comparing the cost of the proposed road leading from the intersection of Wash- ington Avenue and Main Street to the Missouri River Bridge, known as Federal Aid. Project Number 136, and. the \pro- posed roadjon Rosser Street to the above named, bridge. Complying with your instructions I have! made a preliminary survey on Ros- ser Street from the end of the concrete paving at Griffin Street to the bridge, and hand you herewith plan and profile of this road. I have shown on this profile a grade line showing an underpass at the crossing ‘of the main line of the Northern Pacific railroad, and a grade line showing i grade crossing at the, railroad. Both lines are designed to have a gravel ton. 'The roads are designed to meet the speci- fications of Federal’ Aid roads. Underpass Line. ’ In approaching the raflroad from the summit o# the elevated ground one-fourth mile east of the bridge a descending five per cent grade-is necessary for a distance of 600 feet, and on approaching Griffin Street from: the underpass ‘an ‘ascending grade of four per cent is necessary for 2 distance of 800. feet. (In order..that you may MCN A ar ese graces would ad- vise that:the grade on First’Street from Avenue A.t¢ Avenue B, which is from the southeast corner of. the A, W. Lucas resi- dence tothe northeast corner of the Henry. Deumeland: residence, is five per cent; and the grade on Fourth Street from Avenue B to Avenue C, which is from the southeast corner of the Gov- ernor’s residence to the northeast corner of the Frank Grambs residence, is four per cent.) The approach to the bridge on the Mandan’ side of the river is five per| ! cent for 600 feet. The distance.from the bridge approach to Griffin Street 18°3,550 feet, and I have designed the travelled roadway through- cout the length''to:be 30 feet wide. In order to provide a. 30 foot yoadway through the cut at the underpass, it, is necessary. to make this cut 46 fect wide on the bottom, and in order to dispose of the earth in this cut I have designed all fills to be 50 feet wide. All side slopes are designed to be one and one-half to, one. Wooden guard rails are designed for all fills exceeding three feet In height. A detailed estimate of the cost of this road is as follows: 2 acres of plowing and harro’ i $20.00 3 40.00 « 10,546.56 cubie yards 3.00. x 6,450.00 1,120 linear ‘feet “of “wooden guard rail at 75¢ ze. 840,00 50 cubic yards of structural exca- if vation, for culvert, at $1.50.. 75.00 64.12 cubic yards of rv culvert at $30.00 1,923.60 347. 4,638 pounds of rei ($20,223.01 for culvert at 7c Engi: ii d tingencies, Engineering and conting 2092.30 $22,245.31 30,000.00 w+ $52,245.31 Underpass sing Line. In approaching Griffin Street from the grade crossing of the railroad there is a five.per cent descending grade from the railroad for a distance of 300 feet and then an ascending five per cent grade fur 550 feet. The roadway throughout the entire length, 3,550 feet, is designed to be 30 feet wide. ‘The cut on the west side of the railroad is designed 80 feet wide on the bottom with perpendicular sides. The fills are al! designed 34 feet wide on top. with side slopes one-and one-half to one. Woodey guard rails are designed for all fills exceéding three feet in height. ‘A detailed estimate of the cost of this road is as follows: A 3 acres of-plowing and harrov ing at $20.00 ....

In order to avoid further grade cross- ings should Main Styect be used as a througir traffic line, # would recommend that at-the point where Main Street in- tersects the east city limits, an entirely new road be: constructed leading across Section Two and north of the State Peni- tentiary to the southeast corner of said section. By: this. method four further grade crossings would he climinated, twe on the “South Soo” Line and two on the main line of the Northern Pacific, Rosser Street Line. “From the end-of the bridge to the pav- ing is 8,550 feet, being 1,950 ‘feet les: than on’ the Main Street ‘line.

No Federal Aid can be given on a rail- road underpass. .On the proposed road from Main Street ahd Washington Ave-| nue to the river it is understood that the railroad company pays one-half of the cost of the underpass and" the county the other half. Of the remaining cost, of thi road timated at $26,377.34, the county will pay one-half and Federal Aid is ex- pected to “be granted for the remaining on If. At the present time no state aid is anticipated on this projeét, as Bur- leigh unty’s share of ate aid has been uged in the construction of the Missouri River Bridge. If later on it ‘is found that there is a balance in state aid, to Burleigh county's credit, it can be used, if requested, on this road. i; I noted above that no Federal Aid can be granted on a railroad ‘underpass. In the case of an overhead crossing of a railroad, Federal Aia can be granted. Respectfully submitted, T. R. ATKINSON, City Engineer.
