City wins $500,000 grant for Traxler Arboretum bridge, Commission hears
Summary
Chair Richard Varga announced the City received a $500,000 grant to rebuild a bridge at the Traxler Arboretum, a funding development the Commission welcomed while also discussing access and site planning with a landscape architect.
Chair Richard Varga told commissioners the City has received a $500,000 grant to build a bridge at the Traxler Arboretum at the location where "John's bridge used to be," reconnecting the Stoney Ridge Road side area. Members reacted enthusiastically and discussed related site access and planning as a landscape architect prepares to meet with the Commission.
Varga said the bridge grant was received about two weeks earlier and that a meeting with a landscape architect is being scheduled to discuss park site ideas and road access from the west to a proposed parking lot. Commissioners noted the grant will support connectivity in the Arboretum and asked staff to coordinate next steps with Parks and appropriate city departments.
