Osage Beach City Park update

The Osage Beach City aldermen approved a bid to asphault several areas of the new City Park, bringing it closer to being open.
The vote to approve the APAC-Missouri estimate of $160,648.02 was approved unanimously. The work calls for paving the walking trail at Peanick, parking lots 1, 2 and 3 and the driveway approach up the hillside to the pond.
The board was given four options in awarding the contract. They were:
•Paving the walking trail and Parking Lot 3 (near the playground/city booth for Fall Festival.
•Paving the walking trail, Parking Lot 3, Lot 2 (large parking lot near fishing pond).
•Paving the walking trail, Parking Lots 2 and 3 and the driveway up the hillside to the parking lot.
•Walking trail, Parking lots 2 and 3, the driveway approach up the hillside to the fishing pond and Parking Lot 1 (the first parking lot on the right inside the main gate to the park).
The Aldermen first considered Option 3, but ultimately voted to go with doing all of the work this year, as a result of City Planner Cary Patterson’s comment that handicap accessibility is an issue and that “No. 4 will make the city legal with its own codes.”
