RIVERSIDE PARK (BALDWIN PROPERTY) - CONCEPT PLAN
Special Projects Manager Joseph presented a preliminary
the proposed Riverside Park and stated this project is
away from a continuous riverwalk beginning at Picadilly
the Town's East entry. This design responds to:
1) Key park entry points and/or crosswalks, i.e. the Post
Office;
2) Preservation of mature Aspen and Spruce trees along the
riverbank;
3) Tying in existing park space to the South with the
boardwalk;
4) Retainage of mountain vistas;
5) A loading zone at the park's West end;
6) Rebuilding the terrace to provide pools access;
7) Repairing erosion along the riverbank;
8) A sidewalk along West Riverside Drive across from
existing shops.
9) Riverwalk continuity by use of sandstone pavers and
colored concrete, as well as bollards with sandstone
caps;
10) A garden path consisting of pavers with grass growing in
between the pavers.
11) Other amenities including streetlights and benches.
Superintendent Speedlin indicated a desire to use concrete walkways
in place of boardwalks to the South of this property, when they are
ready to be replaced. The entire park area will require additional
fill and planting areas will be bermed. The Town will match a
$60,000 land and water grant for a total project cost of $120,000.
Assistant Administrator Widmer suggested the Town might wish to
consider passive ice skating areas on portions of the river.
