The New Milford Town Council gave the go-ahead Monday for a reveie by the Planning Commission on proposed improvements to Lynn Deming park.
The improvements would include 37 new parking spaces, traffic flow improvements, creating a picnic area, installing a playground, constructing a kayak/canoe launch and an equipment shed.
The cost was estimated at $610,000. Discussion by the council on how to pay for the project was possible use of the Waste Management Fund or bonding.
Parks & Recreation Director Dan Calhoun and Commission Chairman Tom Beecher will return to the Town Council in the next month with a breakdown of cost by work phase, if done in four phases, or how the work would be implemented if done with one funding disbursement.
Beecher estimated it would take 18 months to complete the entire project if done with one disbursement rather than phased.
