City staff outlines stormwater, erosion and safety fixes for Red Rocks Park
Summary
The City of South Burlington presented a design to resurface parking, add stormwater treatment and build a shared-use path and slope stabilization at Red Rocks Park; a resident called the projects "very, very needed." Staff said state concurrence on the wetland delineation was on file.
Silken Kirschner, project manager for transportation and open spaces, briefed the board on proposed stormwater, parking and erosion-control improvements at Red Rocks Park. The work would resurface the parking areas, add stormwater treatment for redevelopment and create a shared-use path and shoreline stabilization to address repeated erosion at the beach access.
Local resident Lisa Yankowski said the projects are "very, very needed" and called the proposed walkway a safety improvement for people who now walk in the middle of the road. Staff told the board there is a letter from the floodplain manager and state concurrence with the wetland delineation; staff confirmed the design meets the city's floodplain standards. The board closed the hearing and will deliberate before issuing a final decision.
