Walking Trail and Playground Update

The walking trail and playground has been completed, however, parts of the trail were not ADA compliant so the contractor is going back and re-doing some sections. Also, the City is looking to see if signage for the playground was included in the original proposal.

9/17/2008 - Forms are being laid for the Hike and Bike trails in the Greenbelt.

6/22/2008 - Surveryors have begun to place markers in the Greenbelt for the walking trail. Please do not disturb! Work should commence shortly.

5/21/2008 - At the May 20, 2008 council meeting, the Frisco City Council approved the contract for the Capital Improvement Project as proposed by the Parks and Recreation Board.

5/7/2008 - The City staff has approved the contractor for the Capital Improvement Project and gave them the contracts to sign. As of last night, the City was expecting that the contracts would be signed and delivered to the City today or tomorrow. This will allow the Parks and Recreation Board to put this item on the agenda for the next council meeting (May 20, 2008) for approval.

4/11/2008 - The Parks and Recreation Board approved the Capital Improvement Projects at their regular meeting held April 10, 2008. This includes the Beavers Bend Park Extension project that comprises of pond improvement, hiking and bike trail extension and playground equipment at a construction cost of $965,000.00. The contract is tentatively scheduled to be presented to the City Council for approval and awarding of the contract at the May 20, 2008 meeting. City staff will review the company submitting the bid to make sure that they are satisfied that the company can perform the work. City staff does not have any reason to believe that they can not perform the work. It’s my understanding that the project should be able to begin in June 2008. Walking Trail Playground
