Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
This ordinance authorizes expending up to $150,000 for replacing the decking and handrails on the Harvard Overlook at Walbridge Park. An evaluation of the overlook at Walbridge Park showed the super-structure to be in good condition. It was also determinized that the decking material and handrails needed replacement. This project will extend the life of this park facility for 15-20 years. This project will also ensure continued accessibility to the river overlook for all residents. Funds for this project were allocated in the approved mid-year budget adjustment to the Capital Improvement fund.
