Bridge over Mississippi River
To the Honorable, the President and Com
mon Council of the City of st, Paul:
The communication of the City Engineer
to the Board of Public Works in relation to
the proposed bridge over the Mississippi
river, from Robert street to West st. Paul,
and transmitted by said board to your hon
oraole body, by whom the same was referred
to your Committee on Streets, etc., has been
carefully considered, and in view of the
rapid development of that part of the city
embraced within the limits of the Sixth ward
and for many miles beyond, all of which is
tributary to the eastern part of the city, and
the consequent increase of traffic over the
present bridge, which at times is hardly suf-
ficient to allow of proper facilities for travel
to and from the West side, we are of the
opinion that the proposed bridge is an abso-
lutte necessity, and to that end we would re-
spectfully recommend the construction of said
bridge at as early a day as practicable.
That the grade line of said bridge as shown
by the green line on the accompanying pro-
file be the adopted grade. Said grade being
at the rate of 81 feet to the 100 feet from
the south end of the channel span of the
river to Fillmore avenue. The bridge to
start from Robert street, st. Paul proper and
terminate at Ducas street in BaZille &
Roberts addition to West St. Paul, and we
further recommend that the City Engineer
be required to prepare plans and specifca-
tions for the proposed bridge without delay
in accordance with this report, and report
the same to this Council at as early day as
practicable, together with any other infor-
nation he may think proper in connection
with the construction of the proposed bridge.
And after the adoption of the same by your
honorable body proper steps be taken to let
the work by contract so as to take advantage
of the season for outdoor work, as well
as to place the bridge bonds on the market
and realize therefrom to meet the expenses
and cost of construction of said bridge.
Respectfully submitted,
