Of City Engineer-Bridge at Minnesota
Transfer
To the Common Council of the City of St
Paul:
GENTLEMEN: In reference to the pet
tiOns herewith inclOSed. for the construction
of a bridge over the railroad tracks at Min
neSota Transfer. would report as follows
l herewith submit plan showing the loca
ton of the Transfer grounds at University
avenue. also the number and position o
the tracks already built on these ground.
across University avenue.
The entire frontage of the Transfe
ground at University avenue is 1850 feet
The present tracks cover about 400 feet
II appears to me. from the rapidly increas
ing business of the Transfer. that the who'll
, length OF 200 feet will soon be obstructe,
| by the railroad crossing, and that any i'm
prOvements of permanent nature will re
{ uuire the bridging of these tracks the entir
distance. As University avenue is 100 fee
wide. and the principal thOrOughfare be
tween the two cities, / would recommend
bridge of not less than sixty feet wild
, across these yards. and would suggest, il
I accordance with the agreements with tn
different railroads. that the Transfer Com
! pany be required to erect such bridges AM
, that the city make the necessary ap
proaches. Respectfully submitted.
