Project
Development
Timeline
• $4,352,000 currently available in FY 2024/25 Capital Improvement Budget through combination of Park Development, Quimby and AES sources
• Phasing the project will allow rotating portions of the park to remain open during construction.
• Ensures “like-for-like” amenities are reintroduced to the community upon phase completion.
• Proposed phasing does increase the project cost and extends the timeline Project Development/Timeline
Recommended Action
Approve on of the two conceptual design option for the Edison Park reconfiguration plan and authorize staff to move forward with initiating either a phased or complete development of the design and bid package for construction of the updated facility.
