Current Projects - Spring 2024
March 2024 - Brick is going up on the exterior of the building. Work on the splash pad begins this month. Sidewalk improvements and street resurfacing along Nelson between E 3rd and E 4th will begin later this spring.
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.
March 2024: City Council has awarded the construction contract to CM Concrete Inc. Construction is anticipated to begin in March. The park will be closed until work is finished in late 2024.
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.
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.
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 has applied for a low-interest loan through the State of Kansas, as well as federal and state grants 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.
The City expects to go to bid for the sewer extension in Spring 2024.
