The total project involves a combination of sub -projects in the upper, middle and lower basins to reduce the likelihood of flooding. This Ordinance does not automatically result in the filing of a petition in eminent domain; it simply allows staff to use the process if good faith negotiations fail to result in an agreement, between the City and affected property owners.

First Reading of Ordinance No. 001, 2006, Appropriating Unanticipated Revenue in the Neighborhood Parkland Fund - Oak Street Plaza Park Capital Project to Be Used to Construct Improvements to the Oak Street Plaza Park. The Oak Street Plaza Park is an important public space in the downtown area. The Park provides the public a prime venue for small concerts, seating for noontime lunches and a gathering place for people enjoying downtown Fort Collins. The Park was last improved in the early 1980's and is showing its age. The existing concrete plaza, flower beds and fountain require increasing levels of maintenance. The fountain is the type that consumes considerable water when it is operational. A design effort with the Downtown Development Authority, area businesses and interested parties has resulted in a new design for the Park. This design makes the Park functional and inviting by removing the planters to open up the Park for better movement of people, replacing the concrete surface, replacing the fountain with an interactive water spray feature that uses minimal water, improving landscaping and lighting and providing for improved handicap access. Improvements will also include handicap access to the Museum of Contemporary Art building. The Park improvements are scheduled to begin in January, 2006 and be completed in June, 2006. 14.
