The 2006 - 2011 Park and Recreation Open Space Plan identified infrastructure improvements, including repair of park bridges, as a high priority. The condition of bridges in a number of the parks has deteriorated and several are in need of renovation. The Bandemer Park vehicle bridge has steel members that have lost much of their structural integrity, and decking that is failing. This project includes replacement of the steel structural beams and the wood decking as well as repairs to the asphalt approach to the bridge. Funding for the bridge repair project is included in the approved FY 2010 Park Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage budget.
