Construction is scheduled to begin next spring on phase two of Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park in Council Bluffs.
The Council Bluffs City Council approved the $7 million project Monday. Mayor Matt Walsh says phase two is a smaller, three-acre park with interactive features, a patio setting, and a community room.
Other items planned for phase two are a plaza, water features, and play elements for children. Walsh says it'll be a transition between a mixed-use development in Playland Park and the larger River's Edge Park, which hosts Loessfest and other major events.
The work is expected to be complete in mid-2017.
Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park sits along the Missouri River, on the Council Bluffs Side of the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge.
