The bridge abutments are failing causing unsafe crossing conditions for pedestrians and the risk of creating blockage in the drain. The bridge will be abandoned pursuant to the Drainage Act and removed as part of the work under this report.

4. This bridge serves Mount Royal Drive owned by the City of Windsor. This bridge is in good condition and does not require any work at this time. Since the bridge is serving the public road crossing and therefore would not be needed if the road was taken out of service, we recommend that 100% of all future maintenance costs for works to the bridge be borne by the owners of the roadway pursuant to Section 26 of the Drainage Act. In discussions with some landowners, it was established that the west turning radius should be improved to allow for safer egress for City buses for dropping off pedestrians closer to the school building. Investigations by the City with the transit people confirmed that they have no current concerns with the bridge. The report and plans will provide the City with the details needed for future work on the bridge including additional length on the west end pursuant to the maintenance provisions of the Drainage Act.
