Footbridges are to be austere and used only when other crossings methods are impractical.
Footbridges which are the center of recreation experience are to be a non-Federal cost. Pedestrian bridges
at highways or railroads are normally a non-Federal cost; however, if they are integral to the recreation
feature and the most cost effective alternative, they may be cost shared.
