Overall Program Description The primary objective of the Mill Creek Library Park and Veterans Monument Renovation Project is The Library Park holds significant value for the City, its Council members, the Parks and Recreation Board, and the Art and Beautification Board, all of whom are actively involved in its renovation planning. The park features the Veterans Monument that is currently running out of space to add new names, prompting the City to explore options for expanding the monument to allow for future dedications. A recent wetland delineation has confirmed that most of the park lies within a designated wetland and buffer area, meaning that most of potential expansion may require buffer averaging to comply with environmental regulations. The Parks and Recreation Board has also expressed strong concern about the safety of children using the playground and recommends adding fencing around the existing or possibly expanded play area to enhance protection. In addition, although not included in the primary scope of work, the following items are highly desired enhancements that, if feasible, should be considered for inclusion in the project: adding swings; installing additional lighting to improve visibility and safety, including enhanced uplighting; adding two flagpoles to display state, City, and armed services flags; increasing and improving seating options for quiet reflection, such as benches; expanding the monument plaza if needed to accommodate additional names or Provide space for community seating to accommodate gatherings during Memorial Day and Veterans Day ceremonies; and evaluation of expanding the parking areas.
