Background
Sunrise Ponds Trail - Bid was approved by the Council at the April 18 City Council meeting. Start of the project would be this spring.
Happy Acres Parking Lot - Bid is over budget and will need to be discussed with the Council at a future City Council workshop meeting.
WSB and Associates and HCM Architects have been working with staff on the Blaine Wetland Sanctuary Shelter and Restroom project. The architect has made adjustments to the plan and staff is working with the watershed to add additional parking at the site. Staff will be bringing the project to the NRCB and then to council at a later date for approval.
Band shell update - staff has been meeting with ISG and the festival committee on finalizing the bandshell concept. Staff is working on the trails and lighting to get an engineer’s cost estimate for the project. Staff will present the proposed concept and cost estimate to the Park Board and City Council in May.
Summer recreation employment is full. Thank you to all who helped promote our positions.
Bean Bags (Cornhole) will start in May at the Mary Ann Young Center.
