Shorewood board approves $25,496 park equipment purchase, expands River's Edge Park amenities
Summary
Trustees approved a $25,496.06 purchase from Polygon for River's Edge Park Phase B and discussed adding a kayak launch shelter and amenities to maximize a $600,000 grant, bringing the project close to $1.2 million.
Public Works reported the River's Edge Park Phase B project is nearly complete and under budget and recommended purchase of park equipment from Polygon for $25,496.06. Staff also proposed adding a kayak launch area — including a shelter, concrete pad, picnic tables and landscape features — to better use a roughly $600,000 grant; the additions would bring the project's total to just under $1.2 million. Trustees confirmed funding is within the grant and project budget and then approved the Polygon purchase.
Public Works said the shelter would be procured with government pricing through the village and would match existing park shelters; staff estimated a 10- to 12-week lead time. Trustee comments focused on budget availability and ensuring the shelter and amenities complement river access and park user needs.
