Committee backs donor-funded Johnson Park sidewalk, landscaping plan
Summary
The Public Works Committee recommended that the village board approve a donor-funded Johnson Park sidewalk and landscaping project, with public works committing to some demolition and ongoing maintenance; estimated project cost for the sidewalk/plantings is about $22,000.
Parks and public works staff presented a Johnson Park sidewalk and landscaping improvement plan funded by a private (anonymous) donor. Committee members reviewed the scope — converting an asphalt path to concrete (6 ft wide, 5 in thick), new plantings, bench pads and minor demolition — and confirmed the village's maintenance role if the project proceeds.
Staff said the project budget for the sidewalk and plantings is approximately $22,000 and that bench pads cost about $560 each; the donor requested no public recognition. Committee members moved to recommend the project to the village board so funding and formal approvals can proceed.
Next steps: staff will prepare the recommendation packet for the board and clarify contractor timelines, maintenance responsibilities, and planting species lists for long‑term care.
