Council to issue RFP for Stone Spring connectivity study after $50,000 gift

Dec 16, 2024

Council removed the Stone Spring walking-trail study from the table and directed staff to prepare an RFP for a connectivity study funded by a $50,000 gift. Members cautioned the amount is likely insufficient and recommended coordination with parks and rec and the capital budget process.

The full story

Council discussed how a $50,000 gift could fund a feasibility and connectivity study to examine options for linking Ward 4 to downtown and crossing Route 40, including pedestrian-bridge concepts. Staff said the funds are deposited and an RFP could be issued next week; the study would be scoped to assess connectivity options rather than construct a trail immediately.
