The "scope" of the Riverwalk Project has changed again. And the cost for just the engineer fees is now at $26,000.00. Here is a review.....Last spring, the Prudent engineer firm was lead to believe that the Riverwalk project was to go across the River Hospital property. River Hospital officials politely reminded the village board that was not the deal. The original agreement between the Hospital and village officials was that the walk was to go in front of the hospital property and over the water. The project was abruptly changed by the mayor and re-routed down Fuller Street by-passing the scenic view in front of the River Hospital. Later the project was unofficially scrubbed by the mayor. After months of renewed discussions between the hospital and village officials, the project is back on track, the way it was originally meant to be....end of review. But, as you will hear in the audio clip, the engineer price tag keeps rising. So to offset that increase, the VB has taken control of the project and are trimming the amenities..... whack whack chop chop....
