Default Cart path over Warm Springs bridge

The old southern Warm Springs bridge probably needs to be replaced for the widening. Significant Commercial space is reserved at that corner. There's already a cart tunnel there and the power lines jog south making room.

Some of these new bridges South of us include pedestrian/bike lanes across the Turnpike bridges. Not that big a leap to make them cart lanes.
Check out Don Wiley's video #61 - it lays out exactly how a cart path can be added to the Warm Springs bridge without structural changes. The video compares the resulting cart lanes with the Morse Bridge cart lanes.
