Chief Operating Officer Antonio Adams said the city gathered previously separate plans and partners to avoid piecemeal work and to preserve neighborhood identities while creating continuity along the riverfront corridor. He said the work covers roughly 30 property parcels and will be advanced in phases that allow for maintenance, community engagement and larger construction projects.

Key near‑term and medium‑term items described by presenters and staff:
- MLK Riverside Park: Repair and aesthetic improvements including replacing concrete traffic‑block dividers with parking islands and wheel stops, refurbishing pavilions and enhancing trail signage. Presenters noted historic design intent for the park’s entry should be respected as part of upgrades.
- McKellar Lake / Riverside Park Marina: City and partners described the lake as an underused slack‑water harbor with substantial debris and a small number of houseboats. The presenters recommended a full environmental assessment and a trash‑collection/removal program before contemplating recreational activation.
- Memphis Flyway: Memphis River Parks Partnership showed the Flyway project under construction. The Flyway is an ADA‑accessible observation deck that extends over water at certain points; the CEO said it will be complete in June 2026 and will serve as a classroom and bird‑watching amenity. The organization anticipates the Flyway could attract significant visitor numbers when combined with other riverfront amenities.
- Beale Street Landing and Harbor docks: Improvements to decks, docks and materials to better resist debris and weather; city staff said the Beale Street Landing repairs are planned for late 2025 to address wear and improve docking resilience.
- Mud Island and amphitheater: Staff presented multiple concepts, from targeted improvements (seating, acoustics) to complete re‑imagining of the island’s program and uses; no final concept or price was selected.
- Harbor Knox / Greenbelt Landing: Projects to improve docking, visitor amenities, water connections and bus/pedestrian amenities; staff said the Army Corps is working closely with the city on permits and federal funding earmarks for part of Greenbelt improvements.
- Sunset Lake (Wolf River restoration): State‑funded implementation strategy to assess restoration, regulatory compliance and feasibility; presenters described a weir concept to stabilize a normal pool of water and enable trails and development opportunities.

Community engagement and revenue focus: Speakers repeatedly emphasized neighborhood engagement — “what the community wants” — while also urging the team to identify revenue‑generating models so the riverfront can support ongoing maintenance. Councilmembers asked for a clear phased rollout and for projects that can be started quickly to demonstrate progress while community planning continues.

Quotes and details
- “There were a lot of plans that were out there. So as opposed to recreating the wheel, what we did was we brought all players to the table,” COO Antonio Adams said, describing the compilation of previously separate studies.
- Tom Marshall, a design partner, urged restoring the river‑park entry and respecting the historic design language for Riverside Park.
- Art Davis, acting CEO of Memphis River Parks Partnership, described the Flyway as “the only free ADA accessible observation deck on the Mississippi River” and said it will be completed in June 2026.

Next steps: Staff said some projects are already under construction or in design (Flyway, Harbor Knox accessibility improvements, elements of Beale Street Landing); others require environmental studies, Corps permitting (Greenbelt) and phased community planning. Project leaders said they would return with a consolidated implementation schedule and more precise funding requests, and they asked council members to consider both maintenance funds and resources to make the riverfront self‑sustaining.

Ending: The city framed the work as both a civic amenity and a potential economic engine and asked council members to support continued planning, permitting and the targeted infrastructure investments that make larger redevelopment possible.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Memphis City Council Committee Meetings: March 25, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","City officials and riverfront partners on March 25 presented a consolidated concept to knit together more than two dozen planned projects along the Memphis riverfront, pairing near‑term repairs with longer‑term community planning.","taxTitle","Memphis City, Shelby County, Tennessee","taxId",3648,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106627,"Memphis Parks to bid Bellevue Tennis Center renovation; $1.3 million in CIP identified, work expected to take 5–6 months",487,3067000,3554000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4&start=3067&end=3554","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4/thumbnail_3067000.jpg","/articles/6106627/Memphis-City/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Memphis-Parks-to-bid-Bellevue-Tennis-Center-renovation-13-million-in-CIP-identified-work-expected-to-take-56-months","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106627-362dbb91b0cedf073ac052f21bad7bc0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158261&Signature=lLYEfkLjMxZZu~fEDLV2qPXYeLSBD1F6iWCvczLPhAIc0Zi2df3BtAOtKWZfz36I1y9BITtft-fI7XAgnUlZ7QWbRcJ~lWp4DumuRCZTf57a3aFtzAiat0HdCaxRr~RNgxEO1ppM5OgcIZ95J5ZwQhYgUWvUGHc84tU8pfTYoJ-A9XNZoi0g0POva0sF6nn2zJi~rp-EOeXE3eQLURoB5AMRvDkZZWWMAVcUmFkdHvXxwuvk3FBIlYscV3qicIzAGO9BQLxBmYvw6RP3OyOiD8j7fQJg3Bk5HY-zEhwT~fV57p~IPfBCKmEV-yop9hJK06iE7jAhhgFAkde8Ollumg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Memphis Parks on March 25 told the council that construction documents for the Bellevue Tennis Center renovations are wrapping up and that the department expects to put the project out to bid in the coming weeks.

Marsha Allen, interim director for Memphis Parks, said the department is finalizing construction documents and anticipates a general contractor selection roughly three to four weeks after bid issuance; actual on‑site work would take about five to six months to complete. The department described an initial budget of $1,300,000 that was set aside previously; Allen said an initial walk‑through identified more than $1.3 million in possible improvements, so the department is prioritizing work for the available funds.

What the plan covers: For the clubhouse the department identified a new roof, replacement of roll‑up security doors, interior finish work, a new reception desk, updated plumbing/fixtures and new furniture. On the outdoor side, Parks plans new site furnishings, parking‑lot repairs, a dumpster enclosure and upgraded lighting for the outdoor courts. The indoor courts will receive improved lighting, high‑velocity fans and ductwork. Operations staff recently replaced outdoor wind screens and limbed trees to improve sight lines.

Community priorities and timeline: Councilmember Adam Swearidge Washington and area parents asked for visible, early progress on court areas (lighting and power washing) so players see neighborhood investment. Allen said Parks can phase the work so the courts and lighting are addressed earlier and heavier items (like parking‑lot replacement) follow. She suggested Parks and the applicant set a meeting with parents so department staff can explain phasing and timelines.

Ending: Parks said it will post the project to bid after final construction documents are complete, expects contractor selection in about a month and aims to be under way by June, with phased work starting at courts and lighting so the neighborhood sees tangible progress first.","Memphis Parks said construction documents for Bellevue Tennis Center are nearly complete and that a $1.3 million CIP allocation will fund priority repairs; work could start this summer and take about 5–6 months, with lighting and courts prioritized at neighbors' request.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106631,"Memphis Brooks Museum describes downtown move, seeks $750,000 operating subsidy and $1.5M in capital pledge",1136,1968000,3104000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4&start=1968&end=3104","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4/thumbnail_1968000.jpg","/articles/6106631/Memphis-City/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Memphis-Brooks-Museum-describes-downtown-move-seeks-750000-operating-subsidy-and-15M-in-capital-pledge","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106631-973803d4e7475fc9f5ae60c344925ba8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158261&Signature=b3Tz7d5U0MmN~9X8ibJXcCugh7zLdLsT6~WX5F17L6~k4glcWZuHHQph01n7YiT3E-mGU6Q~13xxgF~PV7rZTcBp1zRPbf4~aSIoKvaqBii14bwpqWMrP-5Oznf3ZK3szjxMjZqw7QY5ahnkif~aIvpa7jTKJwx9YtYDuRNc2mqMETEb5VhUBOMaynYiQ-YOU4p55eXcMM956jqE37sZ0kMbg6f84sVW7zU2ZkZxYlNwsfupgMPUNYR4~sjpUwom0J70ULlKE0Uys9WsEdMoVMU8x7WFWRhXV0jTDlHVFGbYnCjUUUtyjHPyUVBAPLp2ly3sZHEKIYoYBxZf5vQg0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Memphis Brooks Museum of Art told the council on March 25 that it is on track to complete a new downtown building in 2026 and asked the city to honor a remaining capital pledge and to consider a one‑year operating subsidy.

Carl Person, board president, and Zoe Carr, executive director, outlined the museum’s programming goals in its final year at Overton Park and its plans for the new timber‑framed building between Front and Riverside, Union and Monroe. Carr said the museum expects to produce seven exhibitions in 2026, host more than 300 events and welcome roughly 125,000 on‑site visitors in the year after opening. She said the museum’s public‑program goals include school tours, a weekly free “Super Saturday” family program, four large community days that together attract about 10,000 people, preschool arts orientation with Porter‑Leath, and senior programs delivered through neighborhood senior centers.

Funding and timeline: The museum’s 2026 operating budget was presented at $6.5 million; Carr said the museum is requesting a $750,000 operating subsidy from the city for fiscal 2026, its final full fiscal year in Overton Park. For capital, Carr said museum leaders had worked with city staff on a proposed CIP request for $1,500,000, which she described as the final city commitment to complete the museum’s capital campaign. She said final inspections are expected in August 2026 and the museum plans a December 2026 opening; the museum plans a topping‑off ceremony the week of March 25 with a beam‑lifting event and invited council members to attend.

Why it matters: Museum leaders said the downtown project will increase public‑facing gallery space and public art‑filled areas, allow expanded school and family programs and produce local economic activity. Carr projected the downtown site would draw an additional 150,000 annual visitors and said museum modeling estimates roughly $100 million in annual economic impact when the museum is operating at planned scale.

Design and sustainability: Carr said the new building is being built to LEED Silver standards with a full‑surface green roof and timber construction highlighted in the design; she said budget constraints prevented rooftop solar in the initial build, but the design includes a solar‑ready event pavilion and the museum plans to consider solar later.

Programming highlights: Carr said the museum’s youth programs include a youth council, Scholastic Regional Art Awards (grades 7–12) — Carr said that exhibition awards and scholarships totaled “over $750,000” in prizes and scholarships for participating students — and robust school‑tour programming (roughly 3,500 school tours in the prior year). The museum also runs weekly free hours on Saturday mornings, community days (Day of the Dead, Chalk Fest and Lunar New Year), and special adult programming including film, music and community events.

Questions from council members addressed transportation for seniors, the museum’s summer camp plans and parking. Carr said the museum budgets for transportation costs and is exploring stronger ties to the city’s parks summer‑camp program; she said the downtown building will include about 150 integrated parking spots under the building.

Ending: Museum leaders asked the council for consideration of both the $1.5 million capital pledge and the one‑year $750,000 operating subsidy as the museum prepares to complete construction and transition programming downtown.","Leaders of the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art updated council members on the museum’s downtown construction, programming goals and funding needs, including a request for a $750,000 operating subsidy for 2026 and a final $1.5 million capital ask to complete the campaign.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106635,"MLGW outlines $19.4 million in purchases, tests decorative lighting at Front Street substation",357,242000,599000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4&start=242&end=599","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4/thumbnail_242000.jpg","/articles/6106635/Memphis-City/Shelby-County/Tennessee/MLGW-outlines-194-million-in-purchases-tests-decorative-lighting-at-Front-Street-substation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106635-bf33d2589ab4ece2bd0e27f48103e965/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158261&Signature=PwY2xQ6En7kpBapWVjQBujfcz~9JXHHdpTJeNpHTCDQMkqnkSgGEWwF9pX0qmWBvcM0cFuAfzJgnN2RiU9eVQI60iHiOJpYx~Yo3xlaiq-87rPaY2pSpBDXC-OYjecimB0oL7RO4qgzil89ksl9gJROghOIeHVNT8TaPtSIopQxpQ4iaS7GDnGco~vz6xJtFtQGe7rOWP10XZsemeGfl~uUfJOZZS859-1C93gGd4WqxJYeG4mc5b~JDk-ROQlInyzuRr4wf3MkyNr~1x7MiX~6PkRkfXPa5wP1oz3tk~U22-ND49H45dD4EhMTWFo7-zlrbxsamgn7B-ujDOlrbTg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Memphis Light Gas & Water officials on March 25 briefed the council on a consent-agenda package that would add roughly $19,380,000 in spending and described pilot lighting work at the Front Street substation.

The presentation, led by MLGW President Doug McGowan, said the new requests would bring total MLGW spending approved this year to about $120 million. The single largest line item in the package was $15 million for single-phase pad-mounted distribution transformers used in underground residential service, McGowan said. Other items included a $338,000, three‑year contract for water production well parts, $1.14 million for data-storage hardware replacement, $1.102 million for virtual-server storage, and $367,000 for 5,250 water‑meter registers.

Why it matters: MLGW said the purchases are aimed at replacing end‑of‑life equipment, sustaining service and restoring water‑production capacity without the higher cost of drilling new wells. The utility also noted one of the items — meter registers — follows a manufacturer replacement of failed components at no cost.

MLGW and council members also discussed lighting at the utility’s Front Street substation, a visible site near downtown hotels and the convention center. Vice Chairwoman Adam Swearidge Washington raised requests from residents and merchants for improved decorative lighting to boost safety and downtown appeal. McGowan said crews had re‑energized several ornamental fixtures and replaced bulbs where possible and that some wiring and safety work remains to get all fixtures active. He described a two‑step approach: (1) confirm and restore power to existing decorative and ground‑level lighting and (2) develop optional decorative and color schemes for presentation to council and neighborhood stakeholders.

Quotes and clarifications
- “So far this year you have approved $100,000,000 of spending for MLGW. Today we're asking for another 19,380,000,” MLGW President Doug McGowan said, summarizing the year‑to‑date total and the requests on the table.
- On wells: MLGW told the council its aim is to rebuild about four wells per year and to drill four new wells per year when needed; McGowan said a new well costs roughly $2 million all‑in.
- On Front Street lighting: McGowan said crews “reenergized the lights, tuned them up, replaced as many bulbs as they could, and got them on” as a first step to evaluate decorative lighting options.

Details from the consent package (figures presented by MLGW)
- TVA Community Care match: TVA offered $227,000 for utility assistance that requires a city match of $227,000 (total additional assistance about $454,000).
- Pad‑mounted distribution transformers: $15,000,000 (stock to replace units hit by vehicles and to serve new subdivisions over multiple years).
- Water‑production well parts: $338,000 (three‑year contract to rebuild or repair existing production wells, instead of drilling new wells at about $2,000,000 each).
- Data domain (storage) hardware replacement: $1,140,000 over five years (replace end‑of‑life storage modules).
- Virtual environment storage replacement: $1,102,000 over five years (support ~1,100 virtual users).
- Water‑meter registers: $367,000 to buy ~5,250 registers (~$69 each) to keep stock for future failures and warranty returns.
- Vehicle purchases: four 1‑ton crew‑cab trucks and six single‑cab service‑body trucks (the package described fleet replacement of end‑of‑life vehicles; retirements will go to auction).
- Claims‑management software license: $2,500 (multi‑year contract through 2026 for the claims office).

Next steps: MLGW said it will return formal consent items for council approval in the normal consent‑agenda process. Separately, staff will bring options and cost estimates for any decorative lighting upgrades at the Front Street substation once crews finish re‑energizing and assessing existing fixtures.

Ending: Council members thanked MLGW for the update and asked to be notified when the utility has a lighting package — including cost estimates and aesthetic options — to consider alongside public‑safety and neighborhood feedback.","Memphis Light Gas & Water (MLGW) presented a consent-agenda briefing listing roughly $19.38 million in requested purchases, including a $15 million order for pad-mounted transformers and $338,000 for water-well parts, and said crews re-energized decorative fixtures at the Front Street substation as a first step toward a larger lighting plan.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6106617,"Votes at a glance: committee approvals and appropriations from March 25 meetings",105,8816000,8921000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4&start=8816&end=8921","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779786-82749248573c672f9084af96942d11e4/thumbnail_8816000.jpg","/articles/6106617/Memphis-City/Shelby-County/Tennessee/Votes-at-a-glance-committee-approvals-and-appropriations-from-March-25-meetings","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6106617-f9dcbf2deda853304dbbd521dc327011/orig.mp4?Expires=1771158261&Signature=mrM-dVoTVfUarRW4S3sQI1vht5kEgbizPJC1VGCsfGCLzzF5n7tpJCHjGi7yqwAydsBE2zNN664e2KVyLLWIPqjt8UPKyC66XK78C~v8VFdaT5M-D7JMzxXMacuzGCRgn2l0M8kV3lxO8RwDlU2gDMjkr3iFqzU7nmsUxD~ZQZzgy71rDvsDb9uLJ0LdmSN9yQa-PVujUYh-LZ1nNVrzlf3L6fcpdg2HZH71gY~qofSdi8cdU6vQo3boX6aSXEvx40TMk1fKKA8c7gS4u-A~O8Cq-u2o2zQKUGr71xMlmDNCuzdBxIsjqI5yKIuQ03uWr0W30zlMLL6p42176qi7uA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Several committee meetings and subcommittees on March 25 recorded formal actions, appropriations and grant acceptances.
