Description

Resolution approving the plans and specifications for the Fall Color Corridor, Phase II - Project R22-10
Background/Discussion

The Fall Color Corridor was approved in FY 21.  Phase I was completed in 2021 with the installation of over 100 trees.   The Council approved Phase II in the FY 22 Capital Improvement Program for $100,000.00.  Phase II of the Fall Color Corridor will include the planting of the remaining deciduous trees, evergreen trees and installing gravel paths.  Also included are educational signs and tree species signs.   Patrons will be able to walk along the trail and gravel paths learning about the different species.

 

The Fall Color Corridor accomplished our goal of providing our community with unique destination stops along our trail system and provides an opportunity for users to stay out on the trails for a longer period of time as they visit these type of trail amenities.

Recommendation

Approve resolution and authorize the Mayor to initiate the project by issuing bids.
