DDA approves $35,429 playscape for West Street after community input
Summary
The DDA approved option 5 for a West Street playscape — a Phase 1 purchase and installation totaling $35,429.11 that incorporates neighborhood feedback (including a double slide); staff expects delivery and installation in roughly 2–3 months.
The Royal Oak DDA voted to proceed with Option 5 for the West Street playscape, allocating $35,429.11 for Phase 1 to buy and install a new playscape that reflects resident feedback.
Staff told the board the option incorporates input collected since July 2025, including 79 survey responses and neighborhood meetings; staff emphasized the need to replace current equipment that is non‑functional or a hazard. "We have come to a resolution, which we call option 5 ... which incorporates some of that resident and neighborhood feedback," the presenter said.
A board member asked about delivery and installation timing; staff advised a 2–3 month timeline pending supplier confirmation. The board discussed continuing engagement with the neighborhood to consider future enhancements beyond Phase 1.
The motion to adopt the suggested resolution to proceed with Option 5 passed by voice vote, and staff will coordinate procurement and installation and report back to the infrastructure committee.
