City plans new downtown plaza as part of Park Street parking project; targets June 21, 2025 dedication
Summary
The EDA said the Park Street parking-lot project includes a new downtown plaza built with pavers and movable furnishings; construction bids are being sought with a target completion and ribbon-cutting on June 21, 2025, subject to weather and bid results.
City staff told the EDA that the Park Street parking-lot project will include a new downtown plaza at the bakery block and that funds have been set aside within the overall project budget.
Dan, president of the EDA, said the plaza "is actually scheduled to be constructed in '25 as part of the Park Street parking lot project" and that the design uses pavers and movable furnishings so the area can be cleared for winter snow removal. He said staff are "pushing the contractor hard" to complete the work in time for a June 21 dedication tied to downtown events, but cautioned that bids, weather and scheduling could affect the timeline.
