Current Projects - Fall/Winter 2024
A DRAFT rendering of The Greenspace building in Downtown Edgerton.
November 2024: Landscaping has been completed. Inside the building, flooring and finishes are being installed. In December and January, the furniture, appliances and equipment will arrive. A special sneak peak will happen during the Mayor's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony.
The project remains on track to open in early 2025.
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.
November 2024: A ribbon cutting was held on November 9. The contractor is completing remaining site furnishings throughout the month of November.
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.
November 2024 - Legal easement documents were delivered to all property owners along the project route. Documents require all owners to obtain a notarized signature and returned to City Hall before December 2. City Hall offers free notary services during regular business hours. Please contact the City 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.
November 2024: Cleaning and preparation work was completed in early November. CIPP lining is scheduled to begin November 19, 2024 and be completed before Thanksgiving. Some additional manhole rehabilitation and manhole repairs will completed before the end of the year.
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.
November 2024: Construction is underway. Boring for the new pipe is continuing under the railroad and South Lake. The work is expected to wrap up around New Years.
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.
