Board advances Parkview drainage, bleacher and parking plans; erosion mitigation prioritized
Summary
Board discussed Parkview drainage and erosion problems and approved moving forward with priorities that include bleacher installation (targeted by Aug. 1), new parking spaces and landscaping; an initial estimate for some landscaping work was described as roughly $20,000.
District facilities staff and board members discussed a suite of projects at the south side of Parkview to address serious drainage and erosion issues and to improve spectator facilities. The group identified erosion mitigation as the highest priority; proposed work includes adding parking spaces, a decorative sign facing the highway, picnic and tailgating areas, and improvements to playground and field access.
An early estimate for part of the work was described as "roughly $20,000," though speakers cautioned that figure did not cover all planned items. Contractors discussed scheduling: Mammoth (subcontracted through John Moise/AT & E Mall) and Midwest Construction were reported as potential contractors; bleacher installation was expected by Aug. 1, and further bidding or budgeting will follow before breaking ground.
Board members discussed funding possibilities, including use of the Buffalo Legacy fund, and asked staff to return with more detailed cost estimates and bid information prior to approving major expenditures.
