riverside park phase 2 improvements

Riverside Park upgrades to add better recreation and river access

Watch for a later council item that accepts any grant award and spells out the Phase 2 project list, local match, and timeline.

Typically discussed at City Council. Check back when the next agenda is published.

On April 20, council unanimously approved applying for a Wisconsin DNR Stewardship grant tied to Riverside Park Phase 2. This vote lets the city chase outside money and manage it if awarded; it doesn’t lock in a build schedule or final project list.
