<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]> Anybody else have experience with rubber sidewalks in these situations and whether the bumps are an issue?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2"><![if !supportLists]><span style="mso-list:Ignore">2)<span style="font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"">     
</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>
