Title

A Resolution Approving the Schreiber Trail Design Phase

 

Summary

The Nature Parks Department requests council approval to allocate the funds and design the Schreiber Trail. This trail will connect the Wilburn Antique Rose Trail to Poplar Street along the south side of Wolf Creek. An ACAMP grant was requested to assist in the construction funding. The project would include low impact development demonstration techniques including pervious surfaces, rain gardens and solar lighting. A proposal for the design was provided by Goodwyn Mills Cawood  at $55,000. The capital plan reflects $175,000 in the FY25 budge, but based on timing and increased costs that was amended to $45,000 in FY25 and $225,000 in FY26 for design and construction.
