How/where can footbridges, with criteria shown below, access the Far Public Shoreline in your stream, river and/or watershed that has been previously unnoticed and/or, wadingwise, unreachable?
How, do you believe, can the National TU Access Policy be applied, since a number of the recently elected National TU Directors, and at least some TU chapter members, favor the inclusion of Access oriented issues into National TU’s Mission Statement, to actively involve chapter, state and/or national TU in this type of public shoreline to public shoreline access?
PUBLIC SHORELINE<==>PUBLIC SHORELINE FOOTBRIDGE ACCESS
Strategically Identify and Prioritize Footbridge Access Locations, by Watershed, to:
1 Provide Access over unwadeable or difficult to wade waters to Public Shoreline from Public Shoreline
2 Make River Crossings Safer and Possible
3 Increase Recreationist Distribution to Both Sides / Reduce Crowding On One Side or Sections of River
4 Apply Maximum Environmental Sensitivity and Minimum/No Significant Impact
5 Provide Value Based/Cost Effective Footbridge Construction
6 Use Nonlimiting Permit/Fee System, Grants (TU, State Division.of Wildlife, GOCO lottery funds, etc.), Legislated State Funding, etc.
7 Design/Engineer for Low Maintenance
8 Enable Remote Location Construction/Placement Capabilities
9 Meet Public Lead Agency Standards
10 Maximize Already Owned Public Shoreline Instead of Private Land Purchase/Lease Costs
11 Involve No Private/Public Access Disputes
12 Elevate to Accommodate Boating Passage and/or Flood Stage Levels
