Gladys E. Douglas Preserve Phase II Development

Description

A public project update, not a private application: 90% design plans for Phase II of the preserve were presented, covering a pier, kayak launch, restrooms, event pavilions and site infrastructure. Costs exceed the budget, so the scope is being split into a base bid and add-alternates.

Impact summary

Residents will eventually get lake access, picnic pavilions, restrooms and a pier at the 120-acre preserve, though some features may wait for future funding.

Designs for pavilions, restrooms, a pier and kayak launch are at 90%, but costs exceed the roughly $2.3 million budget. The project will go to bid with add-alternates so the city can buy what it can afford.
