Novato Pathway/Bowman Bridge Improvement Project: The Novato pathway is a much used connection between Novato and Stafford Lake Park, serving as an alternative off-highway route. The bridge and pathway approaches which crosses Bowman Creek are in need of repairs. A two retaining walls, which connect to the bridge abutments have begun to fail, causing the pathway to collapse and sink at the approaches. The bridges wood railings also are deteriorating and are in need of replacement. Preliminary designs have been prepared (2019), but need to be updated and followed with project permit applications. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: We have structural plans from 2019 produced by Robertson Engineering for replacing the retaining walls and addressing the undermined paving (these are only 75% plans as they do not address approach paving or specifications). Photos are available as are historic plans from 1971 and 1972 for the bridge structure. Project is included in the Marin County's FY 2022-2027 CIP. As of September 7, 2022, information regarding a design team or a general contractor is not available. Funding is anticipated in FY 2023/2024.* *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
