Background/Discussion
The City Council approved the Eastern Hills Trail Stop Park project in the amount of $276,811.00 as part of the City's Capital Improvement Program for FY 22. This project will serve as a trail amenity and a smaller scale neighborhood park for residents. The project is located on the north east corner of the recently created Eastern Hills Drive and Greenview Road roundabout. The design of the park is at 90%, and includes a play structure, shelter, and site furnishing (e.g., bike racks, tables, benches, signage). The plan also shows a location for future parking.
Generally, neighborhood parks do not have off-street parking. However, a goal of this project is to encourage local residents an ability to utilize the park to the greatest extent practicable. Thus, a five (5) space parking lot, including one ADA parking space) is included in the design. The construction of the parking lot will be Phase 2 of the park project.
