Diving into the draft plan, we see estimates for how long this project will take and how much it will cost.
The Master Plan process is coming to a close soon with this final review and plan. Funding is needed to continue to the next step of schematic and design development, an estimated eight month process. Following this, another eight months is needed to create construction documents and another year after until that construction is complete on the square.
Schematic and Design Development: 8 months
Construction Documents: 8 months
Construction: 1 year
Estimated completion: Summer 2013 (funding dependant)
The total cost of design, earthwork, park fixtures, and many other elements that are planned to go into the park; about $14 million. Individual costs are broken out in the report so please take a look and voice your comments at the meeting next week or directly to the city on their website.
