Is the bike trail crossing elevated for the railroad? Or is it elevated to cross 32nd?

Skimming through one of those articles found lines like this: The Parks, Open Space and Trails master plan approved in 2001 called for doing away with at-grade street crossings on the Animas River Trail, meaning the trail would never cross any roads without an underpass or overpass.

The 32nd Street bridge, which crosses the Animas River, is too low to accommodate a trail, she said. Doing so would require the 32nd Street bridge to be rebuild at a higher elevation. Without raising the bridge, the trail would have to be built so low that it would often be inundated with water from the river, even if contractors installed a concrete barrier along the river’s edge, Metz said.

While the PUC says they can't build any more "new" crossings of the tracks at grade, the REAL reason is to eliminate the Pedestrian/bicycle and automobile interface, Not the railroad (But killing another bird with one stone).
