Bayswater Park pedestrian access, the executive ten year capital commitment plan includes $35,200,000 in capital funding for the Bayswater Park pedestrian access project primarily in fiscal twenty thirty.

Why is the project so far out in the capital plan?
1:07:04
Thank you for that.
1:07:05
And it is my understanding that the design process was initiated a year ago, if that's the case there will obviously be a significant gap with that window.
1:07:15

It's far out in the capital plan in part because of what I was explaining to chair Brannan.

We go through stretch exercises all the time.
1:06:41
The construction of the project however is not impacted.
1:06:43
I believe the construction starting in '28, we would move funding up as needed to make sure that it that the project timelines align with the capital project budget.
1:06:56
Sometimes there's in an ideal world, everything would be aligned, but we would just wanna make sure that city is not bonding out for more money than what they need.
