In addition there is going to be a new pedestrian bridge constructed over the river. In fact you can see a pedestrian bridge in the lower portion of the picture above that crosses over Riverside Drive. It will connect to the new pedestrian bridge. It is part of the Midland Valley (former railroad) trail that ties into downtown.

Rendering of this major public works project which will be starting soon. Once it is complete the final riverfront work along the Gathering Place will be finished.
The construction will take place on the left side of this picture and tie directly into the park and riverfront
