Inacio said that the contract is not finalized, but this appropriation is needed to fully utilize the Massworks grant. Chair Wilson noted that this appropriation is related to item 23-0940 in the Land Use Committee. Councilor Ewen-Campen asked how much of these funds would cover the project representative and whether the project is contingent on a zoning change. Dir. Inacio said that the funds will at least last through the design phase. Dir. Galligani said that the project will work without a zoning change, but the city wants to remain competitive in the future for securing funding from the state. He added that the pedestrian bridge would be about $20-30 million based on calculations.\par \cf1\f1\par }
