Commission approves $55,000 to repair River Greenway behind York Woods apartments
Summary
The commission appropriated $55,000 from the Downtown allocation area 1 special fund to repair a section of the River Greenway behind York Woods apartments and directed public works and engineering to proceed.
The Elk Park Redevelopment Commission on May 13 approved a project to repair a small section of the River Greenway behind the York Woods apartments and appropriated $55,000 from the Downtown allocation area 1 special fund to cover the cost.
A staff member told commissioners that the section behind York Woods is in disrepair and that the engineering team and public works prepared a scope of work. The commission voted to appropriate the $55,000 from the downtown TIF special fund and requested that the Board of Public Works, City Development Services and the Engineering Department proceed with the project.
Why it matters: the appropriation uses downtown TIF funds to address a public-realm repair connected to a greenway that serves nearby housing. The staff member said the commission should authorize the work so repairs can begin; the motion carried by voice vote with no public comment recorded.
Implementation: the motion directed appropriate city departments to proceed with the repairs. The transcript does not include contractor names, a detailed cost breakdown or a timetable beyond staff direction to move forward.
