THE CITY ENGINEER reported on the cost differential of a span bridge
versus a box structure on the old Smoky Hill River Channel at the Midway.
"The estimated cost of the reinforced concrete box as presently
designed is $75,000.00.
"The estimated cost of a 80 foot, four lane span bridge with sidewalks
is $145,000.00.
'In addition to the above, the span bridge would require the installation
of a $20,000.00 pumping station for the sanitary sewer line which will cross the
channel at this location making a total cost difference of $90,000.00.
'The advantage of the concrete box is, of course, the economics involved
when such a low flow of water needs to be handled. The disadvantage of the
concrete box is that it would not be compatible with water surface recreation or
the aesthetics of a major channel beautification.''

carried.
