Current Projects - Winter 2025
A DRAFT rendering of The Greenspace building in Downtown Edgerton.
January 2025:
Interior finishes are being completed and equipment and furniture delivered. The dumpster enclosure and the exterior sign still need to be completed. Be on the lookout for a grand opening soon and membership options in the coming weeks.
The Project:
The Greenspace is planned to be approximately 13,000 sq. feet and include a gymnasium, meeting spaces and event rooms, storm shelter, fitness center, outdoor stage and splash pad.
The City has contracted with Incite Design Studio to design the facility and hired Henderson Building Solutions as the City's Owner's Representative to manage the project. Combes Construction is the general contractor on the project.
The project schedule is on track to be complete in early 2025.
The design for Glendell Acres Park includes a new skate park, playground area, walking path and pavilion.
January 2025:
The City is still awaiting the signage for the front of the park. This is expected to be complete before spring.
The Project: The Edgerton City Council has approved a contract with SWT Design to redesign Glendell Acres Park on Edgewood Street. SWT completed the design in winter of 2023. American Ramp Company was chosen to design and build the new skatepark. The City pre-purchased the playground and fitness equipment to lock in lower prices.
This project includes the design and renovation of the park with new equipment, a finished sidewalk system, re-purposed greenspaces and landscaping. The approved Parks Master Plan will govern the general design theme of the project.
This project is paid for though Park Impact Fees, the majority of which comes from development at LPKC.
January 2025 - The City is wrapping up all easement negotiations. Please contact CIP Project Manager Holly Robertson by calling 913-893-6231 if you have any questions about the project or your easement documents.
Design and utility relocation is ongoing. Construction is anticipated to begin in Spring 2025. The City has received a KDOT Cost-Share Grant for $1 million to help offset the costs of the street reconstruction.
Project updates will be posted here.
The Project:
The 2nd Street Reconstruction Project will improve one of the more heavily traveled routes through Edgerton. The project calls for street improvements, stormwater improvements, sidewalks and streetlighting to make the road safer for both drivers and pedestrians.
The project includes reconstruction of of E 2nd Street from Nelson St to City Limits and W Edgewood Drive from E 2nd Street to W 4th Street. This project is in preliminary design with final design plans anticipated in 2024. Construction is scheduled to begin in 2025. A public meeting will be held in May to present the project to residents and businesses.
City Council approved a contract with Renaissance Infrastructure Consulting (RIC) to complete a land survey and preliminary design for the project. Homeowners along 2nd Street may notice utility marking flags in their yards as part of this process.
January 2025: The 2024 CDBG sewer rehab project has been completed. Design will begin in the coming months for the 2025 Project. Johnson County CDBG has awarded Edgerton $200,000 for the 2025 rehabilitation project.
The Project:
The City is continuing our sanitary sewer system rehabilitation project that started in 2021. The project replaces clay tile pipe with cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), which is a jointless, seamless, pipe-within-a-pipe that will reduce inflow and infiltration of storm water into our sanitary sewer system. Crews will also make point repairs and rehab manholes in the project area. For 2024, the area that will receive work is between Nelson and McCarty Streets, from 1st to 5th streets. The goal of this project is to reduce inflow and infiltration of storm water into the City's sanitary sewer lines.
January 2025: Construction of the sewer extension is continuing. Crews are soon expected to cross under Edgerton Road, which will require road closures. This project has encountered numerous delays because of unforeseen circumstances, especially regarding the underlying rock.
Design for the improvements of the City lift station and Big Bull Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant will begin later this month.
The Project:
The City is extending sewer service to the new Dwyer Farms subdivision at the corner of 8th and Braun streets. As part of this extension, 1,800 ft. of 18" sanitary sewer pipe will be installed. Additional upgrades to the sewer system and the Big Bull Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant are planned.
The City was awarded a low-interest loan through the State of Kansas, as well as a federal grant from the EPA to reduce the loan amount. The loan will be paid back using RHID funding, which applies to the new housing development. There is no rate increase expected for current residents because of this project.
