Council discusses walking path, park remodel and kiosk/center‑street repairs; approves shuttle/kiosk labor authorization
Summary
Council reviewed the walking path master plan, town park remodel options (shade, pickleball, playground surfacing), a kiosk/monument stone repair plan and Center Street paving estimates. The council authorized up to $2,500 in labor for shuttle/kiosk repairs and asked staff to obtain final material quotes.
The Bryce Canyon City Council heard updates on several public‑works projects including a proposed walking path around the pond, a town park remodel and repairs to kiosks and monument stone at the shuttle station.
Public Works staff said the walking path around the pond is on hold pending discussions with Ruby’s (the nearby property/interest referenced in the transcript). The town park remodel discussion focused on adding shaded seating, replacing wood playground surfacing with rubberized surfacing, adding pickleball courts and reconfiguring soccer and basketball areas; councilmembers asked staff to walk the site after the meeting and to develop options and cost estimates.
Kiosk and monument stone work at the shuttle station was described as mostly labor and targeted repairs: the contractor recommended cutting out and replacing damaged stone and sealing the remainder. Staff presented a preliminary estimate and the council authorized up to $2,500 for the labor portion with staff to confirm the cost of sealer and additional stone materials (vendor offered to let staff inspect existing stone piles for reuse). Council guidance was to return if material costs push the project above the approved authorization.
Center Street (Lakeview Drive) paving and striping estimates were discussed; staff said original paving plans had been estimated at roughly $20,000 but that localized cost estimates may reach closer to $60,000 for the full segment under discussion. Striping estimates (lane marking) were discussed as roughly half the previously stated figure (the record noted an earlier $8,000 estimate could be closer to $4,000). Council asked staff to return with refined, line‑item estimates.
The council also reviewed an updated cemetery ordinance draft. The draft includes a provision that disallows sale of cemetery lots to third parties and provides that if the town buys back a lot the town will pay the going rate at that time rather than the original purchase price; councilmembers asked staff to reconcile the draft language with prior discussions and return with suggested changes.
Ending: Staff will produce detailed, itemized cost estimates for park remodel options, Center Street paving/striping and kiosk materials; cemetery ordinance language will be revised and returned for further review.
