Observation Tower

The observation tower and wetland boardwalk will provide endless opportunities for recreational activities and educational learning.

The tower will be designed to seamlessly blend in with the surrounding natural beauty and unique ecosystem, and provide an alternative perspective from a higher vantage point above the wetland, including peaceful views up Keuka Lake.

Pedestrian Bridge



Pedestrian Bridge

Curtiss Park

Wetland Area

Cold Brook Inlet

• Structural Challenge:

• Spanning into a

wetland area

• Accessible approach?

• Boat clearance under



Pedestrian Bridge

Approximate Watercraft Heights

Schematic Bridge Cross Section

8’-0” Clear

Curtiss Park Wetland Area Cold Brook

Inlet

(Tied Arch Design)

Water Depth from 10” to 30” @ Inlet



Pedestrian Bridge

Option A • Aluminum Bridge with a cambered

truss

• Additional clearance under the

bridge with lower approaches

• Requires larger abutments to

handle the lateral thrust from the

structure

• May require additional permits to

provide a solid structure within the

wetlands



Pedestrian Bridge

Option B • Tied Arch Bridge with slight camber

• Camber provides some additional

clearance under the bridge.

• Similar cost as the Aluminum bridge

but the abutments costs will

decrease.

• Does not produce as much lateral

thrust and therefore will reduces the

structure size for the abutment within

the wetland area.

• Painted Steel Requires Maintenance

• Structure below the bridge reduces

clearance



Pedestrian Bridge

Option C • Weathering steel Pratt truss bridge

with flat deck

• Length and height of the approach

will be minimal

• Least expensive option

• Little clearance under bridge



Pedestrian Bridge
