<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Jeremy, that will likely be part of the strategy. However conventional sidewalk construction would probably damage a lot of roots in this case even if we raise the grade – and the sidewalk is likely to crack
in a few years. Thus we are looking at the bridging or rubber sidewalks options<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Kelowna is looking at a new sidewalk installation next to some mature street trees (red oaks). In the past we have successfully used rubber sidewalks in these types of situations but in this case it’s going to be a multi-use corridor and
there are concerns that the rubber surface is not as suitable for roller blades, etc. because of the seams.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a couple of questions:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span><![endif]>Another possible solution is reinforced concrete bridging over the roots. Does anybody have specifications for bridged sidewalk construction that they could send to me?<o:p></o:p></p>
