Staff presents early plans for phased South Edgewater waterfront park, docks and boat ramp
Summary
Staff described early conceptual designs for a phased waterfront park adjacent to Boston Whaler property, including docks, restrooms, permeable parking options, playgrounds and use of FIND and police impact funds for design and initial construction.
Staff presented conceptual plans for a South Edgewater waterfront park and boat ramp, describing a two-phase approach intended to align with grant cycles. “We are looking to phase the park into 2 phases for funding and grant purposes,” staff said, describing phase 1 priorities as docks, restrooms and basic parking and phase 2 as playgrounds, pavilions and additional courts.
The project is in early design; staff said they will use grant funds and police impact fees for initial design and docking infrastructure and will pursue construction bidding later. Board members asked about permeable parking and flood resilience; staff said they are evaluating surface materials and conducting core sampling and site testing before final design.
