Crestwood voters will weigh in on a $33 million bond measure in April that, if passed, will allow the city to issue several different bonds for different parks and recreation projects, most notably the construction of a new community center.
The Board of Aldermen voted 7-1 Dec. 12 in favor of bringing an ordinance to its January meeting that places the bond issue to fund the city’s new community center and various other local projects on the April 2 ballot. The board considered that ordinance as part of its consent agenda on Jan. 9, and passed it unanimously.
The measure will appear as Proposition A on the ballot. The city will host an informational town hall about Prop A at the community center, 9245 Whitecliff Park Lane, Thursday, Jan. 18 from 6 to 8 p.m.
According to a press release from the city, the project list incudes:
• Constructing a new community center at Whitecliff Park.
• Transforming the existing community center into a pickleball and family games complex.
• Replacing the Crestwood Park playground.
• Adding a nature playscape area to Whitecliff Park.
• Adding a walking trail loop to Whitecliff Park.
• Adding a pedestrian bridge to connect Whitecliff Park to the Lodgepole.
