The City Council approved the City-wide Trail Upgrade, Iowa Riverfront Trail, Project R24-02 in the FY 24 CIP for $350,000.00.  The Trail is a vital north-south connection and is currently in fair to poor condition.  The upgrade will restore the trail to an excellent condition.  The project extends from Big Lake Park to N25th Street and will include the repair of lateral cracks and depressions, as well as the placement of a two-inch layer of asphalt over the existing trail.

The work is anticipated to begin this summer/ fall and will be completed by late fall.   The current cost opinion does have the project exceeding the budget by approximately $8,000.00 and the contract administration portion of the scope will be adjusted to reduce the scope in order to have the project remain within budget.
