Description
The pedestrian bridge repairs happening on the Hagadorn Rd. bridge over the Red Cedar has no safe accommodations for pedestrians needing to travel on the west side of Hagadorn Rd. There's no safe E-W crossing further south across Hagadorn and there's no safe accommodation for all the unsuspecting campus river trail users that come out to Hagadorn just south of the ped bridge. The temp. cement barriers that are blocking the west-most south-bound lane on Hagadorn Rd. taper over very close to the curb on the north side of the bridge and orange barrels are placed between those barriers and the curb to apparently prevent peds from attempting to use that as a safe way to get around the construction. Very dangerous situation that should be remedied ASAP before some pedestrians get hit walking in Hagadorn Rd.

Recd this response from the City of E. Lansing staff:
Your email regarding the bridge reconstruction on Hagadorn Road and pedestrian safety was forwarded to my attention. The pedestrian trail/sidewalk on the west side of Hagadorn Road is actually closed to pedestrians and cyclists from Grand River Avenue to just south of the bridge while we are working on the bridge. Pedestrians/cyclists are being detoured to the east side of Hagadorn Road.
I have attached a site plan depicting this closure, in red, and detour, in yellow.
There should be signage identifying the detour but if you are reaching the bridge without seeing it, we may not have adequate signage or signage in the appropriate places. We will inspect the site this week and make the necessary corrections.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and if you have any questions, my contact information is below.
